Samael – “Passage”
Ahhhhh….SAMAEL..GODS!!! Four brilliant albums! This will easily be one of the best albums of the year. If you loved “Ceremony..” , then you will not be disappointed. The thing that scared me at first was the fact that the drumming was done by a machine. After listening to this release, I found that the use of a machine did not take away anything, but added to the SAMAEL sound in a very positive way. the song “Moonskin” is so dark and emotional and is one of the best songs I think SAMAEL has ever done. The piano segments adds so much to them. Also the line up, is new guitarist Kaos and the departure Rodolphe. If familiar with SAMAEL, then I am sure you are aware of the brilliant music this band has to offer. Anyone not familiar with this band, well check them out, you might be pleased.
