SUPREME DEATH/ BLACK METAL ART SINCE 1993 |
| |
BELPHEGOR
emerges as one of the most extreme line ups to ever come out
of the death black metal scene. The band members themselves
describe their hellride as "Supreme Death/ Black Metal
Art” |

1993: The now legendary
demo on Maxi Cd format, BLOODBATH IN PARADISE, is circulated
within the underground and earns BELPHEGOR the reputation of
an unrepentant, blasting war machine. 1995: The first studio
album, THE LAST SUPPER, is released on Lethal Records
and is a welcomed collection of infernal hymns for their growing
fan base. Following their own path of sin and befitting their
ever-evolving anti-religious, anti-life attitude, BELPHEGOR’s
logo gets revamped to incorporate two inverted crosses completely
surrounded by blood representing the slaughter of Christians
and martyrs.
1997: Last Episode Records releases BLUTSABBATH. BELPHEGOR’s
sinister reputation continues to gain momentum. |

2000: Stagnation
means death! The band spreads their disease once again via NECRODAEMON
TERRORSATHAN, logging yet another volume of blasphemy added
to The Vatican Library. 2002: BELPHEGOR celebrates their 10th
anniversary by capturing a live set with songs played even faster
than their original studio recordings on INFERNAL LIVE ORGASM
(released on their own label, Phallelujah Productions). |

| 2003: Produced at
Mastersound Studios, BELPHEGOR cram their high-speed murderous
brutality into the 8-track release of LUCIFER INCESTUS,
and then tour again throughout Europe. 2005: The band opts to
once again to work with Alex Krull at Mastersound to create
the morbid GOATREICH - FLESHCULT, and later shredding
Europe with the infamous X-Mass Festival and an eighteen dates
headliner tour. “We don’t give a fuck about anything
and don’t let anyone talk us into doing anything. Only
the music counts!” |

PEST
TEUFEL APOKALYPSE |
| |
Produced, mixed,
and mastered by Andy Classen at Stage One Studio in Kassel,
Germany, and featuring artwork by Seth Siro Anton PESTAPOKALYPSE
VI is, on the one hand, a concept album based on The Devil,
Pestilence, and The Apocalypse, and on the other, a lesson in
infernology. Incorporating unconventional harmonies with dynamic
execution and monumentally aggressive vocal work, its multi-language
approach (the German verses in “Bluhtsturm Erotika”
are taken from the works of Marquis de Sade & Goethe; “Sanctus
Perversum” defiles the church’s monopoly on Latin)
accurately represents the infernal musical landscape BELPHEGOR
comfortably inhabits.
|
| Accept it: our
world is necessarily haunted by evil, and when the armies of
the dead return with their pestilence to annihilate the living,
there will be no better guides while traveling down the fiery
road to the endless abyss of Hell than BELPHEGOR. |

BONDAGE
GOAT ZOMBIE: BDSM & SATHAN 2008 |
| |
With their seventh Album,
suitably titled BONDAGE GOAT ZOMBIE, the Death/ Black
Metal institution crushes all their previous releases! A real
massacre of pounding Death Metal and majestic, hyper fast Black
Metal spread out over nine killer songs full of diabolical possession,
and pure darkness! BONDAGE GOAT ZOMBIE is their most
mature effort up to day, this time BELPHEGOR have managed to
melt ultra blastbeats and heaviness to one union.
The Fleischwerk was once again recorded in three sessions form
November 2007 to January 2008 with Andy Classen in the famous
Stage One Studios in Kassel/Germany – guarantying a smashing
and powerful production.
The concept of the album is inspired by the infamous Marquis
De Sade (1740 – 1814), giving the lyrics of the album
a blessed touch of Evil. As on the last album, the vocals are
held in English, German and Latin.
BONDAGE GOAT ZOMBIE is once again a lesson in violence
and a true offering when it comes to crushing Metal with the
extra punch in the face.
BELPHEGOR continue to keep the fucking devil and demonic spirit
in Metal music alive... |
