History

Satariel recorded its first demo album in 1994; titled Thy Heavens' Fall, the record consisted of traditional black metal sounds.[3] The band released their debut album, Lady Lust Lilith, in 1998 on Pulverised Records.[4] Over its first four albums up to 2007, the band increasingly mixed melodic death metal with black metal and technical death metal,[5] sometimes drawing comparisons to Opeth and Insomnium.[6][7] After a seven-year hiatus, Satariel released three-song EP White Ink: Chapter 1 in 2014.[8]
