The band have dubbed their music as "blastcore."

"Mumakil" is taken from the Lord of the Rings and is of the Speech of Men of the East, allies of Sauron. It's a plural word for the oliphaunts.
Pronounce "moom-a-keel," they were gigantic Elephant-like multi-tusked behemoths which struck fear into the hearts of those they faced and which were used as such in the battle of the Pelennor Fields.

The band have recently inked a deal with the Canadian label Caustic Rhythms who will re-release "Customized Warfare" in the US & Canada. It's not clear at this time whether they will be the bands main label though as Mumakil have been searching for a new label recently. As of July 29, 2008, Mumakil has signed to Relapse Records.

70 MB, mp3@VBR233kbps

Samael are a long-running Swiss black metal band formed in 1987 in Sion, Switzerland.

Although much of their music from the mid-1990s onwards has incorporated electronic sounds which would best define their genre as industrial metal, they are an early 2nd Wave black metal band and an innovator for post-black metal styles.

Their first demos presented a slow, doomy style of thrash metal with raw vocals, similar to that of Celtic Frost. Some of the songs would be included on Worship Him (1991) and Blood Ritual (1992).
