Samsas Traum 是 Trisol 旗下的德国哥特乐队。乐队自己的定义是哥特歌剧 Eine Gothic Oper。事实上 Samsas Traum 的专辑都是集电声哥特、黑浪潮、重金属和歌剧于一身的天才的黑暗作品。 音乐部分主要是大气的哥特式旋律和一些金属铺底，偶尔也有电声或是双脚轮踩，人声则是兼有男女声的清嗓独唱/合唱。Samsas Traum 兼有 Angizia 式戏剧化的复杂编排和不输于Lacrimosa 的华丽大气。

Formed in 1996 by Alexander Kaschte, Samsas Traum was a German (eventually calling Austria home) experimental metal act, encompassing elements of dark wave, black metal, and symphonic metal. The project came together out of Kaschte's frustration with the group dynamic, and he released his first solo work, Nostalgische Atavismen, in 1996. That was followed by a second demo release, Home Recordings, that same year. Following these demo releases on his own, Samsas Traum, ironically, took on members, and became a group. Now a trio, Samsas Traum scored a record deal with Trisol Music Group in 1999. The group's official debut,' Die Liebe Gottes -- Eine märchenhafte black metal --Operette (The Love of God -- A Black Metal Fairy Tale Opera) saw the dark of night in 1999, and was met with mixed reception. Their next album, O Luna Mein, came out in 2000, and was a more avant garde affair. The band released a handful of albums and EPs over the next few years (2001's Utopia, 2002's Ipsissima Verba EP, 2003's Tineoidea oder: Die Folgen einer Nacht -- Eine Gothicoper in Blut-Moll, a best-of in 2004, 2005's DVD and CD release, Einer gegen Alle, and a smattering of re-releases and remixes). In 2007 the band released two markedly different albums, one very black, Heiliges Herz -- Das Schwert deiner Sonne, and one very acoustic and personal, Wenn schwarzer Regen.
