Samael - Blood Ritual CD

The second full-length album from Swiss extreme-metal pioneers Samael and a crucial step forward from the primitive darkness of Worship Him. The band retains the raw, sinister character of their debut, but the songwriting becomes more focused and the atmosphere considerably more oppressive. A highly important release from the early Swiss scene, Blood Ritual stands as the sound of Samael moving from raw underground black metal toward the distinctive dark and atmospheric extreme-metal style that would eventually make them one of Switzerland’s most respected metal acts.
