*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*
Release of the Opus CASCADIA by the fingerstyle guitarist Samaël
[St-Leonard, N.B.] – The contemporary fingerstyle acoustic guitar virtuoso, Samaël, is thrilled to announce the release of his highly anticipated new album, CASCADIA, available worldwide on September 5th. This latest project promises to captivate listeners with its rich, atmospheric soundscapes and intricate guitar work, which Samaël has become renowned for.
“Samaël’s great guitar playing and technique are always at the service of music. Although he’s playing on a single acoustic instrument, his amazing sense of enigmatic melodies and ambiances are bringing the listener much further beyond the sound of an acoustic guitar… but rather on a mystical introspective journey.” – Antoine Dufour
CASCADIA is not just an album—it is an immersive journey into a mysterious, ancient lost world. Inspired by the myths and landscapes of a forgotten realm, each track weaves together haunting melodies and complex harmonies, taking listeners on an evocative sonic adventure. Samaël’s compositions are deeply reflective, evoking a sense of wonder and reverence for the ancient and the unknown.
The album’s aesthetic reflects a blend of rustic mysticism and modern artistry. The intricate geometric designs and the enigmatic presence of Samaël in the imagery hint at the mystical world of CASCADIA, inviting listeners to lose themselves in the album’s immersive experience.
“Samael Pelletier’s compositions are transportive, you don’t listen to them you visit them, inhabit them, and explore them, as he brings them to life with his flawless guitar playing.” – Jon Gomm
More than just a collection of songs, CASCADIA is a gateway to another world, designed to resonate with the soul and stir the imagination. The album will be available on all major streaming platforms, and physical copies can be pre-ordered through Samaël’s official website.
A multimedia concert designed uniquely to celebrate the release of CASCADIA will be held on October 4th at the Centre-des-Arts Edmundston.

About Samaël
Samaël is a guitarist and instrumental composer from New Brunswick, Canada. He was introduced to the guitar at the age of 12. He perfected his musical knowledge at the prestigious Musicians Institute where he obtained an associate degree in guitar performance in 2010. Subsequently, he obtained a bachelor’s degree in classical music at Concordia University and a master’s degree in musicology at the University of Montreal.
In 2014, he offers us his first fingerstyle album, Halcyon Night. Which was followed by Shadow (2018), which contains more mature compositions and in which Samaël seems to have found his musical identity. Shadow offers an introspective journey to the listener and gives the impression of a sonic approach resembling minimalism and film music rather than typical fingerstyle guitar. Samaël will undoubtedly be able to immerse you in his ephemeral universe which awaken our senses to the depth unequivocally reflected from the complexity and dexterity of the artist.
