Sathamel.

"Their recently released demo combines thundering DM fretboard workouts with an ominous BM atmosphere, with the occasional eerie, Burzum-esque riff rising out of menacing Bolt Thrower style grooves, like a thick mist emanating from a dark, rancid crypt. The band seem remarkably tight and fluid considering this is their first release..." - Terrorizer.

"Smeared with blood and black, and with the largest crowd of any band I have seen this night, it’s clear why this dedicated and very dark band have such a loyal following." - Wyrd Ways Rock Show.

"Sathamel create a very dark and occult sound with their approach to blackened death metal." - Bringer of Death Zine

"Sathamel have the image, the live show and the gruelling intensive hostility and show all the signs of a band to be reckoned with. Brutal vocals, cold pummelling riffs and remarkably groove drenched rhythms. Sathamel are a fun to listen too band who don't cut back on the savagery! You have been warned." - Luke Hayhurst of Northern Darkness Print Zine

'The EP becomes a powerful and dramatic force, it is a release that even at low volume conveys presence and fills the room..' - Musical Chairs Blog.

'Sathamels debut EP is gonna be hard to beat come the end of this year in the best underground demo/EP category. There’s massive riffs, brutality and some ace songs in this short release. It whets the appetite for more, and demands further plays.' - The Killchain Blog.

'They're ready to take on the Blackened-Death Metal scene head on, and they've got a great record to do it with.' - Metal-Temple.com

'Combining Paradise Lost's beauty with Bolt Thrower's irresistible grooves, this demonic formula is a winner. Bellowing vocals howl torment left over from the early 90s, as Incantation and Deicide influences creep up and drag you down bellow. Sonically, all is as dense and tight and as a crypt, and the power that comes from this formation begs the question why this band is still playing pubs? The only pints that should be drawn to accompany Sathamel's hellish tones are pints of blood.' - Metal-Rules.com
