Samael – 'Ceremony Of Opposites' LP

180g Graphite silver vinyl edition in gatefold sleeve with poster

A cornerstone of 1990s extreme metal, Samael’s third full-length album, Ceremony of Opposites, stands as a bold statement of evolution and reinvention. Originally released in 1994, this genre-defying record saw the Swiss pioneers transcend their black metal origins, merging crushing riffs with industrial undertones, ritualistic rhythms, and darkly atmospheric soundscapes. With tracks like “Baphomet’s Throne” and “Celebration of the Fourth,” Samael forged a path that was both aggressive and hypnotic—layering haunting synths over pummelling grooves and occult-inspired lyrics. The result is a brooding, mechanical, yet undeniably vibrant album that remains one of the most influential releases in extreme metal history. Ceremony of Opposites is a landmark moment not only for Samael but for the evolution of black and industrial metal as a whole. A must-own for fans of boundary-pushing music that still honours the darkness of its roots.
