Although much of their music from the mid-1990s onwards has incorporated electronic sounds which would best define their genre as industrial metal, Samael was originally founded as an early 2nd Wave black metal band.
Their first demos presented a slow, doomy style of thrash metal with raw vocals, similar to that of Celtic Frost. Some of the songs would be included on Worship Him (1991) and Blood Ritual (1992).
Around the time of Ceremony of Opposites (1994), the band started using industrial-styled song techniques, employed by the use of keyboards and (minimalist) acoustic percussion. By this time, they had also left French record label Osmose Productions and signed with Century Media Records.
1995 - The Rebellion ep was released to much acclaim
Their album Passage (1996) saw them gather a larger audience, with the music video for the song "Jupiterian Vibe" getting airplay on MTV's Headbanger's Ball.
1998 saw the release of the "Exodus ep"
After the release of Eternal (1999), Samael would not renew their contract with Century Media. In 2004, "Reign of Light" was released through independent label Galactical Records.
In 2006, their album "Era One" was released on Century Media Records. It includes a bonus disc, "Lesson in Magic #1," which is entirely instrumental and done solely by keyboardist Xy. The album itself was recorded in 2001, and the bonus disc a year later. Both were rearranged and remixed in 2005.
In June 2007 they released the album "Solar Soul, which summed up and combined many of the styles of their previous albums since Passage.
April 2009 sees a new album from Samael, titled "Above. The album is a return to heavier territory for the band and has been labelled "Symphonic" blackmetal by some reviews in popular magazines.
In June 2010, Samael began recording demos for the next album. The album's first single, titled Antigod was released on November 19, 2010.[3] The album, titled Lux Mundi (which translates as "Light of the World"), was released April 29, 2011 in Europe and May 3, 2011 in North America. The same month they shot a video clip for the song "Luxferre" in Sweden with director Patric Ulaeus.
On December 29, 2016, Samael announced new album will be released in 2017. The following of “Lux Mundi” (2011) has been recorded in Switzerland during spring 2016 and mix in Sweden during the summer. In January 2017, the band signed to Napalm Records to release the album.
Sound of Galaxies
Samael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The notes we strike
Reasoned in time and space
Silent symphony waiting to be heard
Musical
Aura holding unseen worlds
The sound of galaxies playing the music of our lives
Married, equations formulas
A mute language of the universe
Mathematical
Resonance the thought of matter
In Samael's song Sound of Galaxies, the lyrics express the idea that the universe is like a symphony waiting to be heard, that there is a musical aura holding unseen worlds. The first line of the verse states, "The sound of galaxies playing the music of our lives," which suggests that everything in our lives, every experience, every emotion, is in harmony with the universe. The lyrics go on to describe the notes we strike as being reasoned in time and space, indicating that the universe is a grand design that operates with order and precision.
The next line, "Silent symphony waiting to be heard," is an especially poignant one, as it implies that there is more to the universe than what we can see or hear with our physical senses. The musical aura spoken of holds unseen worlds, implying that there are layers of reality beyond our own. The second verse adds to this idea by saying that the numbers we marry, equations and formulas, are like a mute language of the universe. This suggests that there are secrets buried in the fabric of existence, waiting to be deciphered. The final line, "Mathematical resonance the thought of matter," suggests that the entire universe operates on vibrations, frequencies and energy, and that everything is interconnected.
Overall, the song Sound of Galaxies is an exploration of the nature of the universe and our place within it. It suggests that there is a grand cosmic symphony playing, and that even if we cannot hear it with our ears, we are still a part of it.
