Vorph and Xy are not to be trusted. Samael's latest album Above is one with a history of disinformation, misdirection and outright lies. It all started off as a bloated concept of Gorillaz proportions with a virtual band called "Above" playing songs written for them by the Samael boys. Well, this was a lie. Moving on, Vorph then announced that it would be the missing link between Ceremony Of Opposites and Passage. Again, this was a lie. Finally, the band decided to play one of the new songs on their Winterfest tour and it turned out to sound similar, although a little darker, to Samael's most recent output. Guess what? This was also a lie. If this song does in fact appear on Above, it is completely unrecognizable to me. Read more ›› |

How in fucks name does this album even have a 7? I've heard a few songs from their past which have been decent enough but this album takes the cake for disapointing buys. I've been listening to metal for over ten years and this album is still beyond comprehension... Its like all the stereotypes soccer moms love like "mindless banging" "not even music" and "satans asshole" Well now i know what they heard to think that...
