Swiss Industrial/Black Metal band Samael have revealed new single “Hail To The Sun”, a track dealing with “life’s hardships and taking chances instead”. The song continues the band’s path into a new era, started in 2025 with “Black Matter Manifesto”, the band’s first new music in eight years.

Formed in 1987, with nearly 40 years of continuous activity, Samael have released classics like Worship Him (1990) and Passage (1996) while blending Black, iIdustrial, and Symphonic metal.

Samael says about “Hail To The Sun”:

In troubled times, it is good to come together around something that is meaningful to us all… and what better thing than the sun, which is one but experienced differently by each of us? ‘Hail To The Sun’ is an anthem that will see you through the summer and keep you warm when winter comes. The song is about overcoming adversity and seizing life’s opportunities.
