SAMAEL Recording Demos For Next Album

June 23, 2010

Swiss industrial black metallers SAMAEL have issued the following update:

"SAMAEL will play their first concert ever in South America. The band has been invited to be part of this year edition of Rock al Parque festival in Bogota (Colombia). They will play a one-hour set on Saturday, July 3rd.

"This will be the only festival appearance of SAMAEL this summer as the band will be in studio recording their new album. They are currently recording vocals for demos before starting pre-production work."

Video footage of SAMAEL's November 15, 2009 performance in Munich, Germany as the support act for PARADISE LOST can be viewed below (courtesy of "eblinternational").

SAMAEL's latest album, "Above", entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 99.

In an interview with Beyond the Dark Horizon, Vorph stated about "Above", "It is like an enhanced version of our three or four first albums, maybe the missing link between 'Ceremony of Opposites' and "Passage". With the 'Era One' project we've tried to work on different influences, [and] with 'Above' we stripped everything down. It is a metal album through and through. . . 'Above' is a little bit of a tribute to our early years as a band and to our first influences. If you listen to our two last albums, you can tell our roots go beyond that but 'Above' is a good résumé of what pushed us to start playing music in the first place."
