Sámain was a black metal band from Perth with a musical vision that also incorporated pagan and folk elements. The band formed in 1993, around Hately and Bell, who had previously worked under the name Nazgul. With original drummer Liam Stone, Sámain began work on their first demo, "An Leanábh Naomh (Bríste)", which won accolades from both local and international audiences and attracted attention from several labels. The Indomitus album was recorded in 1996, and despite remaining unreleased until September 1997 due to a bitter wrangle with their label, received excellent reviews and sold strongly worldwide. Sámain played a handful of live shows to support the release with Andrew Cantwell behind the kit; his stay was short and he was quickly replaced by Mark Boeijen (also of Syntony). The subsequent demo release "Revenge of the Natural" featured folk and progressive metal elements amongst their hallmark grinding black metal sound. After this, Sámain went into hiatus for a brief period while Boeyen concentrated on Syntony and Hately pursued his university studies, but at the start of 1999 Hately decided to dissolve the band due to personal frustration with the band's musical direction and disillusionment with the metal scene in general. Bell later joined The Furor and Boeyen is now with Voyager after stints with Vespers Descent and Pathogen.
