Do you know what techno and dance music is because Samael's never albums don't sound anything like those genres. It's called industrial/electronic metal and I happen to like it. Above wasn't a flop, it was ten times better than the first 2 albums, which are monotonic black metal garbage. Passage sure is really "brutal" haha.

Yeah Above may have been a flop commercially because of bigots like you. Feels good not being a bigot. <;3 Also I know Fear Factory is industrial metal because it happens to be one of my favorite bands, but it doesn't mean Samael can't be industrial metal. If you noticed I added the "electronic" there to distinct Samael from the usual industrial metal. Genres are nothing but a matter of opinion. You seem to be the type of person who doesn't really listen to the music but observe how well/bad it does commercially. =)

It was a commercial flop because it was a crap album.
Every song was the same blast beat over and OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
No variation and the horrid effects on Vorph's voice ruined the whole album.
And sorry sonny but I don't listen to commercial music.
I was listening to Slayer while your parents were still in grade school.

I've been a fan of Samael since I was a teenager and will probably always stick by them, but I would like to see a new direction. Personally I'd like to see them start with "Passage" and then take a new progression with it. I loved "Reign of Light," but to me "Solar Soul" was too much of the electronica, and not nearly enough of the metal, while "Above" was the exact opposite: way too much metal and not enough interesting changes to give it more weight. While it's a good album, I find that it all blends together because of the heavy distortion on the vocals and its hard to tell any given song from any other song.

Please allow me to rant.
Not many people comment on Samael links but...
As much as I love Dimmu and Septic wasn't it really Samael that broke the restrictive bonds of black metal?
Passage brought black metal to a whole new level.
What a pity that instead of going further with the symphonic sound they driften toward techno, dance, and the weird space stuff.
They tried to go back to the old days with Above, which was an epic flop.
I pray, new album, new label, please go back to the Passage sound.
Epic, brutal, majestic is where Samael really shine.
