Samael release 'Hidden Empire' single/music video

Swiss black/industrial metal band Samael have released a new song, 'Hidden Empire'.

The band commented: "Hidden in plain sight, right in front of us, everywhere and at all times. We no longer see what we are used to seeing, it is our reality, a reality to which we willingly submit in order to lead a painless but meaningless existence.
Musically, the beginning of the song is somewhat reminiscent of Samael's classic track 'My Saviour', but it quickly evolves into something more unusual for the band. It is a heavy song with an industrial touch that maintains high tension from start to finish."

'Hidden Empire' will be released as a 12-inch single (red vinyl) with the song 'Black Matter Manifesto' on the B-side on April 24, 2026.
