"Passage live" LP by Samael

Comes on black vinyl.

The legendary Swiss industrial black metal band SAMAEL will release their live Album Passage - Live on February 16, 2024, through Napalm Records! Recorded during a sold-out concert in Krakow on the last day of the European leg of the Passage 25th Anniversary Tour, Passage - Live showcases the groundbreaking 1996 Album in a new light. 'This Album is a celebration of an Album that represents a milestone in our history. The Album that made us the band we are today,' says the band itself.

It was the first time that the Album was played live in its entirety and the songs have remained the same, but captured in the urgency of a live environment, they appear rougher and heavier than on the original Album - a quarter of a century after its release, Passage is now more powerful than ever. Moreover, Passage - Live is the first official recording with the current lineup of the band. The new members, Drop and Ales, who were both fans of the Album before joining the band, bring a new energy to the music.

Passage - Live is a testament to an Album that has influenced an entire generation of metal fans as SAMAEL moved towards a more industrial sound, distancing themselves from their roots in black metal while making the band accessible to a broader international audience. Passage has stood the test of time and is just as fresh today as it was upon its release. With Passage - Live, SAMAEL pays tribute to one of the most important Albums in the band's history and presents it in a previously unheard form on record!
