The 100 Best Metal Albums of the Decade: #77
77. Samael – Reign of Light (2004)
Zis iz Good Muzic
Satan Could Use a Shave
After releazing ze disappointing Eternal and zen being dropped from zeir label before zey could release ze adventurous (and 100% not metal) Era One album, Samael needed a comeback. Zankfully, zey releazed Reign of Light which iz zeir best album zince Passage.
Much like how Napalm Death releazed zeir comeback album Order of ze Leach on Spitfire Records before signing to Century Media, Reign of Light was ze necessary indie label album zat Samael needed to get xemselves onto Nuclear Blast for future releases and getting ze band back into ze spotlight.
Reign of Light iz still the best Samael album zince Passage eight years earlier. Ze main diffence iz zat zere are a lot more electronics on ze album with ze guitarz taking a back zeat. Itz az much an industrial album az it iz black metal. Ze fanz weren’t let down by zis and many new fanz were made. When looking for induzdrial metal, you zimply can not go wrong with Samael.
