Samael - "Eternal"
(Century Media)

8th release for Samael. Excellent release from a group that knows well what progression means. Modern heavy sound, strong sharp riffs and incredible programming from Xy. Amazing atmosphere that is conbined flawlessly with the beats and the vocals (nightmarish). But what I really want to mention is the keyboards and the amazing ideas of Xy. They nail you indeed, melodic, dark, psychotic fill the strong riffs with the best way. Even though I can't overrun "Ceremony of Opposites", I believe that Samael continue deservedly with new ideas and top-releases like "Eternal" and that every time they will offer us something new.
