Satariel is a death metal band from Sweden founded in 1993 in Boden.[1]

History

Satariel recorded its first demo in 1994; titled Thy Heavens' Fall, which consisted of traditional black metal sounds.[2] The band released their debut album, Lady Lust Lilith, in 1998 on Pulverised Records.[3] Over its first four albums up to 2007, the band increasingly mixed melodic death metal with black metal and technical death metal,[4] sometimes drawing comparisons to Opeth and Insomnium.[5][6] After a seven-year hiatus, Satariel released three-song EP White Ink: Chapter 1 in 2014.
