Seraphel was formed by Naregh (vocals), Sytry (guitars) and Amroth Eligor (bass) in the summer of 2003. Contaminated by trash and death drumming with the joining of the drummer Ajm, the band started to play an old black metal with Norwegian influences.
Seraphel is noticed for the great live energy, and the first demo “Remembrance” has immediately large positive reviews from magazines and webzines:
“…basically Seraphel goes fast, is extreme and dark. The sound is cold, it makes tension and the symphonic break in the title track makes all surreal… Remembrance is raw black metal, how Darkthrone plays.” (Metal Hammer)
“…glacial, melancholic, depressive, three words to describe what I feel when I listen to the first recording of Seraphel. I heard in some of the time changes the Satyricon of 1997, creator of the masterpiece Nemesis Divina.” (Metal Empire)
“… the title track begins faster and faster, like the assault of Panzer Division of Marduk. The riffs are shot like bullets, in songs like Lord of Emptiness and Slaves of Despair.” (True Metal)
“… the lyrics are not usual… the full work is inspired by Nietzsche philosophy and it’s an exhortation to the human mankind to release from 2.000 years of dogmatic constrictions and turn back to the brightness of a free man.” (Metal Scream)
With the success of the promo the website reached 10.000 visits with more of 2.000 downloads for the mp3 and Seraphel opened for Romanian act Negura Bunget in Maribor (Slovenia). In the meanwhile Remembrance is re-released by Bolivian Furia in the South America, and various songs are included in some compilations like the Italian Metal Wave, where the record is chosen from the readers as the best 2004 release.
Becoming one of the best acts in the Italian underground Seraphel is invited to play in June 2005 at Metal Camp, one of the bigger European festival, with famous metal stars like Slayer, Dissection, Children of Bodom and Obituary.
After the joining of the new drummer Nephil, Seraphel signed with Swedish brand new label Khaoz Star Records for the reissue of Remembrance in early 2006. The band is now promoting the album with many live concerts and interviews, and still composing new material as the expression of Seraphel evolution for the recording process of the second album expected for the end of this year.
