January 25, 2011, 13 years ago
Swiss metal pioneers SAMAEL recently announced that they have chosen Lux Mundi (which translates to English as Light Of The World) as the title for their upcoming album, due to be released in April via Nuclear Blast Records.
An update from Samael's Vorph states: "For the cover artwork of Lux Mundi I envisioned a series of rays starting or ending at the centre of the cover. I wasn’t even thinking about any kind of motives, just black on black using a matte and shining black to make the rays apparent. I spoke about that with Patrick (Pidoux) who did the artwork of Solar Soul and Above”and he came out with that idea upon which we immediately all agree."
Says album artist Patrick Pidoux (SLUDGE drummer): “I draw a very graphic version of an eye which represents sight, the first human sense able to capture light.”

The album, which took almost three years to complete, was recorded this summer after the band spent a few days in Germany on pre-production with Waldemar Sorychta. The recording took place at two different locations in Switzerland and the mix was done by extreme metal specialist Russ Russell in Kettering, England.
Lux Mundi will contains 12 original new tracks including:
'Antigod'
'Soul Invinctus'
'Pagan Trance'
'The Truth Is Marching On'
'Of War'
The Shadow Of The Sword'
