SAMMATH was formed in 1994 by guitarist and vocalist Jan Kruitwagen, who drew inspiration from early black metal and the thrash, speed and death metal legends of the eighties. After a string of well received demo tapes, the band put out their gruesome debut Strijd in 1999, quickly gaining a reputation for themselves in the international black metal scene. Godless Arrogance, the band's fifth full-length to date, is perhaps their most vicious so far. Mastered by Peter Neuber (REVENGE, HORNA, SEVERE TORTURE), the album boasts a ferocious sound that allows each instrument to ring out with clarity whilst retaining that grim, icy atmosphere that drew you to black metal in the first place.
Review
...each minute of it sounds annihilating for an impending war. If you are looking for some 90’s era Marduk alike band, then Sammath should be your priority. Highly recommended. - Venustas Diabolicus 4/5
