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.

Samael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To someone who ignores his way
Who's never been touched by grace
How could one eventually express
All the tension, all the stress
That can't be read on his face
All the people that one left
They enrich, they develop
What one's got to reach the top
Being a sum of experiences
Giving life the consistence
Knowing details makes differences
Entering a heart of existence
Tune your mind to the right channel
Things get played at a higher scale
Go memorize the frequency
Isn't it phenomenal
Don't you think it's magical
The electric storm of ecstasy
Ride the wind, take on your destiny
You gotta get much higher
Fly your flight, get over society
The world is far much bigger
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is unreachable
Tune your mind to the right channel
Things get played at a higher scale
Go memorize the frequency
Isn't it phenomenal
Don't you think it's magical
This electric storm of ecstasy
Fear's got no place around here
What we see, what we hear
Format our comprehension
The un-thought, things we ignore
All the pulses and all the more
Wait to reach our perception
Spread your consistence to other territory
Your vision's gonna get much clearer
When the hunt is over parts meet in sympathy
World peace is getting nearer...
Spread your conscience to other territory
Your vision's gonna get much clearer
When the hunt is over parts meet in sympathy
World peace is getting nearer...
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is unreachable
What could one possibly say
To someone who ignores his way
Who's never been touched by grace
How could one eventually express
All the tension, all the stress
That can't be read on his face
All the people that one met
All the people that one left
They enrich, they develop
What one's got to reach the top
Being a sum of experiences
Giving life the consistence
Knowing details makes differences
Entering a heart of existence
Nothing is unreachable
Ride the wind, take on your destiny
You gotta get much higher
Fly your flight, get over society
The world is far much bigger
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is unreachable
So....
The song "Telepath" by Samael is a reflection on the importance of experiences and personal growth in reaching one's potential. The opening lines pose a question about how to make someone understand the importance of living a life touched by grace. The lyrics then describe how people we encounter and leave behind enrich and develop us, helping to create a sense of consistency in our lives. The importance of attention to detail is emphasized, with the idea that it can make a significant difference in our journey forward. The lyrics encourage tuning one's mind to the right channel, memorizing and internalizing the frequency of positive experiences and emotions. The song speaks of the power of achieving a state of ecstasy and the potential for reaching greater heights of personal growth and understanding.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of striving for something greater, a desire to rise above the limitations of society and achieve something monumental, encompassing the idea that nothing is impossible or unreachable. The verses also touch on the importance of intuition and perception, urging listeners to open their minds and hearts to previously unconsidered ideas and experiences. There is a sense of shared connection and a yearning for world peace that comes through in the final lines, suggesting that a greater sense of community and understanding is within reach if we simply allow ourselves to connect on a deeper, more telepathic level.

This is my favorite song by Samael. I listen to it all the time.
THEimperialreign
I love their new material - as much as I loved their older albums when those were first released. SAMAEL has got to be one of the few artists that never cease to amaze me with each release.
