Formed in Boden back in 1993, Satariel took on primitive black metal as well as technical death metal during their demo years, settling on a contemporary Swedish black/death-metal sound for the first album "Lady Lust Lilith" in 1998.

The follow-up "Phobos and Deimos" released four years later added doom metal to the mixture, emphasized by bringing Messiah Marcolin (Candlemass/Memento Mori) on board as a guest vocalist on some tracks.

The following year Satariel toured Europe alongside labelmates Necrophobic and Impious."Hydra" in 2005 presented a more melodic side of the band, focused on mid tempo songs, catchy choruses and clean vocals - elements that had been present since the debut, but used rather sparingly.

The Mini-CD "Chifra" two years later followed the same path. "Chifra" also included Satariel's first video, "Hogtied Angel".Currently, Satariel are working on the upcoming album "White Ink", which will see the band take a turn towards darker and more sinister domains.
