Description
Switzerland's legendary industrial black metal force SAMAEL unleash their live album, Passage - Live, out on February 16, 2024 via Napalm Records!
Recorded during a sold-out concert in Krakow on the last day of the European leg of the "Passage 25th Anniversary Tour", Passage - Live offers a fresh take on the original album released in 1996. SAMAEL states: "This album is a celebration of a record that is a landmark in our history. The album that made us the band we are today!"
The songs remain the same, but captured in the urgency of a live environment, they appear rawer and heavier than they were originally, and the maturation of a quarter-century makes them more immediate. Passage - Live is the first official recording with the band's current line-up, and as Drop and Ales both were fans of the album before joining the band, they add new vigor and energy to the music.
Passage - Live is a testament to an album that left its mark on a generation of metal fans, as SAMAEL moved towards a more industrial sound, distancing themselves from their roots in black metal, and simultaneously breaking the band into a wider international audience. Passage has stood the test of time, remaining as fresh today as it was nearly three decades ago, and with Passage - Live, SAMAEL adds new depth to one of the most important albums in the band's history. See you on the other side!
