SAMAEL - Black Hole

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=63701970


If your favourite video clip from S A M A E L is « Baphomet’s Throne » you’re going to love the new « Black Hole » video. It’s black and white with lots of live footages taken from the latest Swiss shows all mixed up with various designs and animations. It has been filmed and edited by Sergeï Ulyanov who happens to be the bass player of Makro’s death/doom metal band Sludge. We’ve tried to come up with something simple which would fit the intensity and aggressiveness of the song. The video is very dense and hard to digest at once… you’ve been warned !

Switzerland’s SAMAEL will no longer be appearing alongside MOONSPELL on their North American tour this October/November. Taking their place will be Century Media recording artists DIVINE HERESY.

SAMAEL have issued the following official statement:

“Unfortunately SAMAEL will not be able come to North America this fall along with MOONSPELL. We’ve checked into every possibility with our booking agent and partners at Nuclear Blast but the financial costs are too deep into the red to make things work. We’d like to apologize to all our fans who were looking forward to seeing SAMAEL live but rest assured that we are looking into coming over again in early 2010. We also want to express our deepest regret to our friends in MOONSPELL.”

SAMAEL AND MOONSPELL TEAM UP FOR NORTH AMERICAN TOUR!

Portugal’s MOONSPELL and Switzerland’s SAMAEL will join forces this Fall for the “Night Eternal Above America” tour. Joining them will be Prosthetic Records recording artists BOOK OF BLACK EARTH and Germany’s SECRETS OF THE MOON.

Fernando Ribeiro of MOONSPELL commented:
"Call me emotional, but as a southern dark fuck I have the gut feeling that this will be the best and most important tour we have  ever done in America! First and foremost, the music from all the bands is great, lively and emotional and sharing the stage with SAMAEL again is an honor we highly regard. And no more 25 minutes sets!!!  For sure, we'll party less than on the great ‘Blackest of the Black’ with DANZIG and DIMMU BORGIR, but we'll spend more time in the altar celebrating with you guys and that's what counts! Last, we fear not to be a headliner in a country where we know we are still giving baby steps, and we'll do our best, musically and visually to deliver upon you the ‘Night Eternal,’ the solar and the lunar, in our songs and bodies. Be there for the full moon madness!"


Vorph of SAMAEL added:
"When we first released ‘Above’ we weren’t sure we would tour for that album, but we’re thrilled this is happening and we’re glad this time America will be the first. We already gave a taste of it in March when we toured with CARCASS but on this upcoming tour it will be the chance to experiment ‘Above’ on a larger scale and see how it meshed with the older material. The billing is totally to our liking and sharing the stage once again with MOONSPELL will be great fun for us and for the people attending those shows. See you back on the road."

SAMAEL - VIDEO INTERVIEW AVAILABLE


Sonic Excess conducted an interview with frontman Vorph of Swiss extreme metallers SAMAEL on March 24, 2009 in Denver, Colorado. Watch the chat in two parts at this location.


Above, the new album from SAMAEL, entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 99.

In a recent 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."


In addition, you can read
Part 1 and Part 2 and Part 3 of Vorph's recent blog with Decibel Magazine.
