Samas were founded in 2001 by Void as a one-man project, releasing the first demo "My Darkness", introducing classical black metal, strongly influenced by satyricon. In 2002 the singer Chaerilius joined and the second demo "The Children of Demise" was recorded, introducing a strong use of keyboards and pointing out the influence of classical composers like Schostakowitsch and Bach. During 2003 Samas gathered up a full line up and in 2004 the album "Though shall fear" was finished. More psychedelic, electronical and even a little jazzy. Beofre in 2007 Void cracked up the band for personal reasons in 2006 the EP "Mortal Addiction" showed some affinity to more rocking riffs and simpler structures. At that time Chaerillius had left the band and Void did all the vocals.
In 2011, to the 10th anniversary of Samas, Void and K.I. ,the keyboardist, recorded a new EP "Incipit Samas" coming a with rather a gloomy and haunting atmosphere, almost free from psychedelic experiments.
For 2012 a full-length album is planned, the music has already been written...

Why this name?
You can read it from both sides
Do you play live?
No, recently there are no plans to play live, but never say never
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's fascinating how easy it is to get impressions of new artists. Still 99% of the stuff on the web is bullshit and mp3 can never replace a physical cd. It depends on how you use this possibility.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, as long as they let us do what we want
Band History:
Founded in 2001 as a one man project. During the next five years Samas gathered up a full line up. In early 2007 the band cracked up. In 2011 they returned as a two man project.
It's Black/Death Metal with keyboards. It's that easy.
