GODSLAVE were influenced by SAMAEL, SAY WHAT? That's what the five guys from Saarland are all about - 5 completely different guys with very different tastes and influences - united in what has characterised the band for 15 years - thrash metal with a positive attitude!
But Samael in particular... Bassist Mika was always fascinated by the Swiss band because they were so ‘different’. Mika has always been particularly impressed by ‘Rain’ and the cover of the song is impressive - certainly an unexpected choice, but also certainly a bombastic result. Singer Thommy puts his own stamp on the whole thing - Manni's versatile leads provide the icing on the cake. What a stunner!
In 2023, GODSLAVE played together with SAMAEL at the ‘Baden in Blut’ festival and by then it was clear that the song had to be part of the tribute album ‘Champions’, which will be released with a whopping 20 songs on 21 February.
GODSLAVE have created their own landing page for their tour de force through their strongest influences, where you can find all the information about the journey and the background to the song selection: https://godslave.de/15years
