Samael – Supra Karma

Samael are masters of the unexpected, having pioneered new sound and shifted genres several times during their three decade musical career. This is one of the most interesting metal songs I know. It is an unorthodox composition that strikes an exquisite balance between headbanging material and joyful, middle of the night tribal dancing. Topping everything off is some clever writing, which is something Samael are particularly good at.

“Some stay some leave
some come some go
get on the air
and check your plan
if you do try you will remember
the fine line no one denied
unsharing joy is a pain to release

One by one we all came around and we
danced around night and day
One by one we just play our round to
leave and drop another way

[…]

the heart is strong
and it keeps warm
what the distance
will never change”
