Samael's "Above" is not just black metal

First Post October 07, 2021 12:19 PM

Samael's "Above" is known as the band's return to their heavier black metal sound after several industrial metal albums, but from what I've heard when listening to this album, it's more than that. There is prominent usage of industrial synths/beats as there has been before (especially in "Black Hole" and its "Verso Mix") and symphonics in a good amount of songs in the album, all often overlooked by the black metal riff-wrath and blast-beats. So with that, here's how I'd like the issue to be sorted out in the Hall:

1. I'd like to see this release added to The Sphere.

2. ONLY if that entry has more YES votes and gets that album into The Sphere, I'd like to see Symphonic Metal and The Guardians clan added to the release.

All that while keeping its position in The North.
