Samael brings their aggressive and brutally blackened soundscapes to a higher level with <strong><em>Rain<\/em><\/strong>. Underlined by remarkable keyboards and sweeping rawness, the lyric video captures the contagious energy that the band demonstrates throughout the roaring track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recorded during a sold-out concert in Krakow on the last day of the European leg of their <strong>Passage 25th Anniversary Tour<\/strong>, <strong><em>Passage &#8211; Live <\/em><\/strong>shines as a fully live take on the band&#8217;s highly influential and iconic 1996 album.
