Kings of supreme death/
black metal art, BELPHEGOR, have teamed up with Decibel Magazine’s
online blog to debut the title track off the band’s
upcoming album at this

page.
BELPHEGOR frontman/ guitar shredder had this to say about
"BLOOD MAGICK NECROMANCE":
“17 years of musick and chaos, and BELPHEGOR is
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 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!"

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." |
