Samael "Blood ritual" CD

Some say that Samael hail "Ceremony of Opposites" as the band’s definitive start, but true connoisseurs know the magic began earlier with "Worship Him" and "Blood Ritual". This criminally underrated masterpiece brings unrelenting atmosphere, brutal riffage, and the raw sincerity of a band still unshackled by expectation. From the relentless opener “Beyond the Nothingness” to the crushing pinnacle of “After the Sepulture”. The title track brings thunderous energy, while haunting moments like “Total Consecration” showcase Samael’s ability to craft despair into soundscapes. Even the lesser-known tracks flow seamlessly, proving Blood Ritual’s strength as a cohesive album. This is Samael at their most primal, before the keyboards and clean lines. This is pure, unapologetic black metal. A must-have for anyone who can handle the skull-crushing brilliance of an album that’s too cult and heavy for the posers.
