BELPHEGOR - NEW ALBUM  PUSHED BACK TO EARLY 2014!

The highly anticipated, yet untitled album is scheduled for a worldwide release in early 2014 via Nuclear Blast Rec.

Founding member, Guitarist and Vocalist Helmuth Lehner states: "Drums, Bass and Guitars are all tracked. It sounds brutal, more aggressive and more Death than what was heard on the last Lp´s. The soundwall is massive - just as expected.
Thanks to Erik Rutan for the extra motivation and forcing us to nail down 
tight as fukk performances.
 
Furthermore I am set to lay down the vocals in June/ July, the mix and mastering will be done in September. A tough call, but it was the best for the record to decide to delay the release date again, to unleash the album in early 2014. Be prepared for Diabolical Death Musick! "

Here is a list of some new sound-collages: "GASMASK TERROR",
"REX TREMENDAE MAJESTATIS", "TAKE HER, LUCIFER!",
"THE INVERTED CROSS",... Also watch for the shredding trailer of the
rhythm guitars, which will be revealed in April!

What Helmuth had to say about returning on stage:  "I'm more than pleased that I could do the extreme festivals
in Germania, Schweiz & Österreich, two weeks ago. It was a tough  trial by fire experiment - to return to the stage after
a forced break which lasted almost ten months.
To be honest, I really had a lot of thoughts and doubts that I would not be able to do it. Damn, it was beyond amazing  for  me, to get back on the road. The energy during the performance´s was possessed and magickal...intense!!! 
Thanks to all demons that celebrated hell with us at these massive festivals

On Tuesday Serpenth [ bass devastator ] and Marthyn [ drums ] fly over to US shores to start the drum recordings on

Serpenth states: "All right, a new chapter. These are the last days before we hit the Mana studios in Florida. We're all set. The nine sound collages are faster and more aggressive than on the previous album, "BLOOD MAGICK NECROMANCE" . 

"The last rehearsals turned out fantastic. We get every arrangement to its highest audial potential. Added alot of new haunting and compelling structures/ rhythm parts and tritones intervals: tones that were forbidden by the damn church in middle ages. We're on fire. Expect more shredding, more magick, more of everything." commented Helmuth.

The release date of chapter #X is pushed back to January 2013 via Nuclear Blast records, worldwide. During the last six day rehearsal sessions the band shot some original visual impressions. Thanks to bloodbrother Barth.

BELPHEGOR  -  ENTER THE MANA STUDIOS IN FLORIDA IN MAY!
Supreme Death/ Black Metal commando BELPHEGOR is going to enter the “Mana Studios” in St. Petersburg/ Florida at May 29, 2012. The band has tapped Erik Rutan to produce their new, as of yet untitled album, which will be released in the end of the year via Nuclear Blast records.

Around 2006 I have contact Erik the first time, I guess. We talked about the producing of the “BONDAGE GOAT ZOMBIE” album, but he wasn’t available. This time, we have to do it!!  Our sound, attitude… or lets say trademark, is a symbiosis of all extremities that came out of this glorious genre,...Diabolical Black/ Death Metal.
Since February 2012 we rehearse and write hard on nine shredding sound collages. To record chapter X with Erik is perfect, since he exactly know what we need and how we get this shit done.
The thing is, the new compositions are full of intensity and pure aggression. The combination of European Metal coldness, atmosphere and sickest elements - crossed with an American brutal sound, is the master plan. This experiment is going to be ultra-sick!
I dig to work with motivated, possessed and enthusiastic artists, to keep the fire burning, in all related things
[producers, musicians, etc.] No rules, all is permitted. This is the main reason why BELPHEGOR survived almost 20 years"
commented Helmuth.

Producer Erik Rutan adds: “I am very excited to be recording and mixing the new Belphegor album at Mana. After many discussions with Helmuth and hearing some clips of new material, I know that the band is very focused and determined on making a harmoniously evil extreme masterpiece. We shall make one beast of an album that the maniacs have come to expect from Belphegor!”

BELPHEGOR – starting rehearsal for upcoming album
Death/ black metal commando BELPHEGOR has just started the rehearsal sessions for the upcoming album in Abtenau/ Austria.

Helmuth states: “All good so far. We just finished the second rehearsing session. Currently we're working on nine sound-collages, added a lot new arrangements, elements and structures. Serpenth, Marthyn and me shredded our asses off in these eleven days.
There will be three more til we enter the studio by end of May 2012 and start to tracking drums. The titles on the setlist are working titles. Hell awaits!

The band has uploaded some impressions from the rehearsal session.
You can check it out here. Thanks to Bloodbrother Barth/ speckjaga.at, for eternal support.


BLEPHEGOR already started in November 2011 composing the new material. The new, as of yet untitled album for a tentatively slated late 2012 release will be the follow up to January 2011´s "BLOOD MAGICK NECROMANCE“.
More information coming soon… stay tuned.

EXTREMEFEST – CONFIRMED! THE RETURN OF BELPHEGOR!

BELPHEGOR do not back down from anything and enjoy celebrating death/ black metal art, which can’t be more brachial, provocatively and offensively.
With their current, glorifying album entitled "BLOOD MAGICK NECROMANCE", this evil circle created a very special sort of demonism and reached to increase their ascendancy within the international extreme-metal-community significantly.
Fire, bones and sulphur…you have to see these guys live on stage! Be prepared for a diabolic scenario at Extremefest, which will be shocking that you won’t ever forget!

Helmuth comments: "Ave! After a long touring break since the end of September 2011, BELPHEGOR return to the stage in July 2012 to devastate the Extremefest open airs in Austria, Switzerland and Germania. We're looking forward to shred these events. An honor, this horror..."

BELPHEGOR SOON TO FINISH COMPOSITIONS FOR CHAPTER X
Guitarist/ vocalist Helmuth Lehner of extreme metal commando BELPHEGOR has revealed that the group is working on material. The new, as of yet untitled album for a tentatively slated late 2012 release will be the follow up to
January 2011´s "BLOOD MAGICK NECROMANCE".
From this coming Saturday until next Wednesday, BELPHEGOR will start the first rehearsal session for album X, in Abtenau, Austria. The drum duties will again be handled by Marthyn, who did an outstanding job on
"BLOOD MAGICK NECROMANCE"

Helmuth comments: "Amazing to have the opportunity to be creative again and compose a new album. I begun the compositions in November 2011, after I had to spend five weeks in the hospital and 6 weeks in rehabilitation center, because of my health issues.
I survived this hard trial, which still seems unreal. I'm not fully recovered, but feel way better now, I can say. Unfortunately we had to cancel all tours until June 2012, when we will get back on the road, and will start with some European open air rituals.
"

"At this time, we don't feel the pressure of a hard touring schedule and all the rigors surrounding that, so we can concentrate and create these arrangements in a completely focused way and can even put more energy, blood and guts inside. We are working intensely on ten tracks. We are totally concentrated, you know ,the musick reigns above all. Magick. Its time for a new chapter" said bass devastator Serpenth.

BELPHEGOR "IMPALED UPON THE TONGUE OF SATHAN" VIDEO TO PREMIERES TODAY

Kings of supreme death/black metal, BELPHEGOR, have uploaded the video clip for
“IMPALED UPON THE TONGUE OF SATHAN“ music video to the following location www.bloody-disgusting.com.

The clip was shot and edited this past October by director Alexander König in Abtenau, Austria. Keeping with the concept of the forthcoming "BLOOD MAGICK NECROMANCE", album the crew went through over 60 liters of fresh blood within two nights of shooting. Smashing all oppressive morals with anti-Christian sentiment, the band presents a raw look at depraved blood rites which celebrate the liberation of man through death.

As Serpenth previously stated: “The clip aims to strip down the viewer's psyche with an onslaught of sadistic sex, musick and magick. The ritual action caught on tape was also inspired in part by the world famous works of Viennese Actionists such as Hermann Nitsch and Gunter Brus. Rachael Kozak took over the role of the possessed Sukkubus.

BELPHEGOR CONTINUE RECORDING NEW ALBUM
During their stay in Pärbly/ Sweden, BELPHEGOR shot some studio photos which can be seen here.
The 3rd out of four recording sessions will take place from August 21-28, adding the next dimension to their massive soundwall. BELPHEGOR's ninth opus is being produced and mastered by Peter Tägtgren.

Helmuth states about the progress: "Just returned from an impressive Romanian raid, incl visiting Dracula ´s castle in Bran, alot good memories and an amazing open air. The Romanian metal crowd greeted us with an amazing presence again. Anyways, the second Abyss trip is behind us, traveling one way took us 13 hours! Fukk, but it all was worth it.

Blown away with the result, and Peter Tägtgren is an Alien on the controls. In these early stages I already can say, "hell-goat-fukking-yeah"!!!
I finished the four rhythm guitars in six days and was more than well prepared. I practiced my ass off in the last months - but needed longer than expected. This time we decided for drop C, 443 htz.
Also Marthyn did an outstanding job on the drums, more double bass parts than ever before!
Besides all of that - the sound is "huge", not to forget the most important force on my side, Mr. Serpenth, brought again stellar arrangements and did the best sounding bass lines yet. This will be the most epic and monumental BELPHEGOR Werk to date."

 
RELEASE DATE - JANUARY 2011 VIA NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS
The highly anticipated album is scheduled for a worldwide release date in January 2011 via Nuclear Blast Records/ Warner. Keep an eye on out for a "studio trailer" as well as lyrical and artistic concepts in the next update.

BELPHEGOR NOMINATED FOR THE AUSTRIAN AMADEUS AWARD 2010
Death/ Black Metal icons BELPHEGOR are one of the nominated bands, in category hard & heavy for this years edition of the National Music Awards. You can cast your ballot once per week through August 31st. The "Amadeus Awards Ceremony" will take place in the Wiener Stadthalle on September 16 in Vienna, Austria.

Here’s what frontman Helmuth has to say: "Alright. BELPHEGOR entered the media control charts a few times. Now we are nominated for that mainstream thing, called Amadeus Award...The paradox of BELPHEGOR being represented in a National Music Awards ceremony is one which cements our ART as a real foundation of extreme culture
throughout the world.
Our mission has always been about Extreme Metal. The way of life. The Anti-Christian sentiment!
Our passion has left a mark on the world and will continue to cut even deeper on the next album.
It is no surprise after touring extensively worldwide that even more people have noticed our true dedication to musick.
Austrians have a long tradition of brachial & extreme ART and this is just another sign that our work has hit
with full impact . Thanks for voting demons!
"

BELPHEGOR TO ENTER THE ABYSS STUDIOS IN SWEDEN ON JUNE 19.
Death/ Black Metal titans BELPHEGOR will enter The Abyss Studios in Pärbly, Sweden on June 19, to start recording the drums. The band has tapped Peter Tägtgren [ IMMORTAL, CELTIC FROST, HYPOCRISY,... ] to produce their new, as of yet untitled album.

BELPHEGOR´s main man Helmuth said: "A new challenge. We re high on fire and totally motivated. I´m stoked to work together with a dude that needs no instruction, an excellent musician/ producer. I´m sure that Peter will create a massive soundwall for our ninth longplayer. We are absolutely focused on the new album. That's the only reason why we play only a few open airs this summer.
The masterplan is to record again in 4 - 5 sessions til beginning of October. Once again letting the tracks slowly take form, with the songwriting and production reaching a new level of intensity
."

Commented Peter Tägtgren: "I am really looking forward to producing/ mixing the new BELPHEGOR album.
It's going to be a blast,....u better be prepared
."

Bass shredder Serpenth adds: "On Friday we will start the fifth rehearsal session - day 24 - for the upcoming album, which lasts til Tuesday. We will fine tune eight compositions out of nine. It's going to be an epic - brachial BELPHEGOR album, more shredding, more magick, more of everything."
