Switzerland's Samael has evolved from a mine run bleak alloy band into one of Europe's virtually original and innovational metallic element bands by introducing industrial, gothic, and infinite other influences into their extreme sound.


Formed in the late '80s by Vorphalack (guitars/vocals), Xytras (drums/keyboards), and bassist Masmiseim, Samael was heavily influenced by first-generation bleak alloy bands such as England's Venom and Swiss compatriots Celtic Frost. An super raw, self-financed EP called Medieval Prophecy caught the attention of French-based Osmose Records, which agreed to press release the band's first base full-length record album, Worship Him, in 1991. The record's poor production values and unremarkable black alloy did little for the isthmus, just the following year's much more mature Blood Ritual was another chronicle. The album found Samael incorporating keyboards and different guitar textures to their good, and a permanent keyboard player (Rodolphe H.) was drafted presently after.


After sign language with the Century Media mark, the stria returned to the studio with noted black alloy manufacturer Waldemar Sorychta (noted for his crop with Tiamat) to record 1994's impressive Ceremonial occasion of Opposites. Samael began to find their unique voice on this record, combine swirling keyboard melodies with their brutal guitar attempt to create what they called "grisly operettas." The bet were raised even higher on 1996's groundbreaking ceremony Passage, which saw Xytras (today plainly Xy) pickings over keyboard duties as well as programing all his drum tracks. This unlawful mix of opprobrious metallic element savagery and synthesizers resulted in one of the decade's most original and extreme alloy releases, and was followed by blanket touring (including the band's first American shows). After producing deuce albums by labelmates Rotting Christ, Xy reconvened the group to criminal record 1999's Eternal, with extra guitar player Kaos. The album contains even bolder experiments with applied science and confirmed the band's position as forerunners in their field.
