| 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

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.

| 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“.

| 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.

still here to celebrate death/ black metal art. The title
track is a seven minute opus, we worked eight months on this
complex hymn. And arranged acribical everything in detail.
You will find everything here: spoken words, orchestrations,
chants, choirs, grunts, acoustic guitars, doom parts which
turn to ultra blastbeats.
The most difficult, varied track we’ve ever created.
"BLOOD MAGICK NECROMANCE" is a very dangerous and
magnificent song on the new BELPHEGOR album. It’s exactly
how we wanted to sound in 2011.”

| 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.
As Pro-Domina she was perfect and totally into the role."
The album will be released on January 14th, 2011 in Europe
and on February 8th, 2011 in North America!

| BELPHEGOR RETURNS TO NORTH

| 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."

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!"

Serpenth comments: "Its BELPHEGOR to the bone, nine
monumental - epic arrangements. The sound collages have a
haunting - ritualistic atmosphere. Werk IX will be the longest
playing BELPHEGOR album yet."
"Sunday we returned form the awesome Metal Gate Open
Air we shredded in Czech, and went direct back in the rehearsal
bunker. Fukking wicked!!! The last rehearsals turned out fantastic.
We practiced day and night to get every level to the highest
peak"....stated Helmuth. |

| 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." |
