Reign Destroyer by SAMIARUS

SRUIN243
Samiarus (or Samyaza as more widely known in Aramaic) is the Arabic name of the leader of the Watchers in apocryphal abrahamic scriptures, a rebel angel who shared knowledge with men and birthed the Nephilim, becoming a danger to divine power and law and turning into the absolute usurper. Conceived from within the SF Bay Area punk and metal underground (by current and past members of Abnutivum, Meth Sores, Flesh Dungeon, Doomsday, Slaughteruin, Abstracter and Mentor), emerging black/death metal terrorists Samiarus embody their namesake concept of abysmal occult usurpation to the boldest through their debut EP “Reign Destroyer”, a twenty three minute siege of blown out, bestial sonic upheaval fuming from the iron jaws of terror. While deliberately embracing the cruelty and darkness of the war metal movement developed by bands like Blasphemy and Archgoat, Samiarus’ own formulaic sonic design for the gruesome deposition of all oppressors has brought in a number of other influences to further weaponize their subversive terroristic vision. These influences mainly come from punk and hardcore bands like G.I.S.M., Doom, Raw Nerve, Cult Ritual, Discharge and Siege, as well as from some of the band members’ interest in certain strains of industrial and noise music. A concoction of retaliative audial tactics that has ultimately shaped an anarchic war-torn sonic scourge grueling with dismal reflections on the human condition and on society’s worst embodiments.
