"Passage" is the highly acclaimed 1996 album by Swiss black metal band Samael. On this album, the band opted for more intensive use of keyboards and industrial sounds, drifting from their thrash/black metal roots and progressing in a different direction. Lyrically, the band also abandoned darker themes and veered more towards the occult and the mystical.

While it differs from its predecessors, "Passage" can be credited for thrusting Samael from the underground scene and giving the band a much larger international audience.

The album was originally recorded with a 17 song track list but was later cut down to 11. The remaining songs can be found on the album "Exodus". A second edition was later offered containing 10 classical piano compositions from the album on a second disk.

In 2007, a remasterd, re-packaged, special edition was released containing the album's original 17 song track list.

Almost twelve years after its original release, "Passage" is still considered by many to be a pillar in the black/industrial metal genre.

A video for "Jupiterian Vibe" received regular airplay on MTV's Headbanger's Ball.

All lyrics are credited to Vorph and the music is credited to Xy.

The album was produced by Waldemar Sorychta.
