Switzerland is a very small country but they have still given
birth to several of the most unique and groundbreaking bands in the history of
metal such as Celtic Frost, Coroner and, last but not least, Samael. Today the
Swiss metal "scene" has lost its strength but Samael are still around,
although they have relocated to the American continent. "Ceremony Of
Opposites" is the third album from the band and it is in my opinion their
best release so far. After this album they started using keyboards even more
frequently. That is usually not a negative transformation for a band but their
most creative and powerful work is to be found on this album. Their unique mix
of black metal and industrial riffs together with their highly unusual song
structures and wonderful drumming has made them one of the true innovators of
modern metal. This album is actually actually contains some of the most
impressive material that has come out of the extreme metal scene throughout
the whole 1990's. If you don't mind a little rougher vocals and want to
experience the true beauty of Samael's avantgardistic form of metal this is
for you.
