Et du son, avec le titre "In the Deep" en écoute sur myspace: http://www.myspace.com/samael

Putain j'adoooooooooooooore! c'est moi qui achète le CD super Mouton! (et puis je le ferai dédicacer!)

C'est moi qui achète Samael...mais plus maintenant. Le groupe m'a vraiment trop déçu... Leur musique hein, pas les mecs qui sont ultra sympas !

de toute façon, tu achètes les CD comme tu veux, tu as bien acheté les Pig destroyer et amorphis alors que normalement c est a moi de les acheter. En gros, tu te fous complètement de notre accord!

J'ai acheté le dernier Amorphis parce que je ne me souvenais pas que tu l'avais. Pour les Pig Destroyer bah ouais peut-être !
En tout cas le Samael je te le laisse !

A voir ce que ça va donner, si c'est dans l'esprit Reign of Light ou Eternal ça me va.

Grosse attente pour ma part. Ils n'hésitent pas à aller hors des sentiers battus et je cautionne.

ça fait 10 ans qu'ils nous servent la même soupe...avec plus ou moins de réussite. L'album ne sera pas mauvais j'en suis sûr mais...le fait est qu'ils sont malheureusement incapables de se renouveler...

ben t'as écouté le nouveau avant de juger?

Bah ouais....

je te parle de Lux Mundi super mouton tu l'as déjà écouté?

Moi je te parle du morceau sur leur myspace...

Le bassiste quitte le groupe, sa profession de régisseur lumière lui prenant beaucoup de temps :

Veteran Swiss metallers SAMAEL have parted ways with bassist Christophe "Mas" Mermod and have replaced him with Thomas "Drop" Betrisey (ex-SYBREED).

Says SAMAEL in a statement: "The ever-growing success of Mas' lightshow company and his numerous jobs as light engineer has led to the hard decision to take different paths.

"We're excited to announce the recruiting of Drop as our new bass player.

"Drop has already played a few shows with SAMAEL as a fill-out musician last year and now we're happy to welcome him as a permanent member of the band.

"Over the past decade, Mas has been responsible for the light show of numerous bands, including CARCASS, ARCH ENEMY, AMON AMARTH, DIMMU BORGIR, IN FLAMES…

"We wish Mas lots of success and satisfaction in the years to come and thank him for all the great time we spent together!"

Communiqué de Napalm Records aujourd´hui
