Passage – Live
(Black Metal | Industrial Metal)
Label: Napalm Records
Format: (Live)
Release: 16.02.2024
In recent years things have been a bit quiet around the visionary black metallers SAMAEL from Switzerland, but now Mr. Vorph and Xy are finally back with their newer colleagues Drop and Ales. Unfortunately, there is still no successor to the 2017 masterpiece „Hegemony“ but with the live work “Passage – Live” they are dedicating themselves to a great classic, the work of the same name from 1996.
And this work was once anything but a classic genre work. The gentlemen, who have now (largely) switched to industrial metal, allowed melodic, modern, electronic and atmospheric influences back then and probably already polarized the scene, but have continued to do their thing successfully. Since then, the genres have been switched from time to time depending on the album, or both have always been combined to a certain extent.
Long story short: the material has lost none of its charm, impact and cult to this day. This is also the case on this live release, which is sound-wise beyond any doubt. It was recorded in Krakow and sounds a bit rougher and more intense live than on the aforementioned record, which is now over 25 years old. It is logical that we would like to revive this turning point in the history of SAMAEL and makes us want to see more from this exceptional band, who played this work live in its entirety for the first time and supplemented it with an intro of the same name.
This release is a must-have for fans of the band, while newcomers can get a good impression of the early phase and the change from more classic black metal to industrial metal. A milestone in the history of (black) metal that everyone should have on their shelf or digital collection anyway.
