SAMAEL wrap up recording vocals for new album
05-12-2024
Frontman Vorph (real name: Michel Locher, the name he dropped because that’s the name he was baptised with) of Swiss industrial metallers SAMAEL has completed the recording of the vocals for their new, yet undisclosed album. The band is currently in the recording process with renowned producer Daniel bergstrand, who has previously worked with BEHEMOTH, THYRFING and IN FLAMES.
Says SAMAEL:
Afternoon in Montreux with Daniel Bergstrand after completing the vocal recording on our latest stuff… there will be new SAMAEL music in 2025!
In June 2020, SAMAEL announced the addition of bassist Ales Campanelli to the group’s ranks.
A former member of SYBREED, OBSYDIANS and THE ERKONAUTS, Ales had been playing with SAMAEL guitarist Thomas “Drop” Betrisey for many years. He was no stranger to the machines-versus-humans music of SAMAEL and had known the band since its early black metal days.
Campanelli made his live debut with SAMAEL as part of Tohuwabohu, a worldwide, pay-what-you-want streaming metal event, in June 2020.
Ales joined SAMAEL as the replacement for Pierre “Zorrac” Carroz (SCARS DIVIDE, HEROD), who had played with the group since July 2018.
Longtime SAMAEL guitarist Marco “Makro” Rivao left the band in April 2018 “to do something different.” Bassist Drop has since taken over guitar duties in the group.
SAMAEL‘s latest album, “Hegemony”, was released in October 2017 via Napalm Records.
