Samael are a long-running Swiss heavy metal band formed in 1987.
Although much of their music from the mid-1990s onwards has incorporated electronic sounds which would best define their genre as industrial metal, they are also notable as an early black metal band and innovator for post-black metal styles.
Their first demos presented a slow, doomy style of thrash metal with raw vocals, similar to that of Celtic Frost.
