Welcome back Swiss black metal pioneers in SAMAEL and their 30th anniversary with “Hegemony”.
Thirty years of the band’s history flows into their brilliant eleventh record, combining everything that SAMAEL have learned the hard way spanning three decades of their decadence. In anticipation of the upcoming release the band has premiered a brand new video for the song “Black Supremacy” and you can check it out below.
SAMAEL explains:
“We wanted to pay homage to our favorite color with a song. Black isn’t considered to be a color but in its purest essence it is an absolute value. Musically this track tends to be more extreme than the rest of the album but it couldn’t be otherwise!”

1. Hegemony
2. Samael
3. Angel of Wrath
4. Rite of Renewal
5. Red Planet

I love metal music. I play drums in a local band. I have big interests in IT, science and books.
