Belphegor have been in kind of a rut since Lucifer Incestus, with the two subsequent albums being increasingly generic-sounding and dull. But this one gets them back in the groove with fast and furious shredding that actually sounds pissed-off and mean. The songs are hookier and the riffs are once again a kick-ass cascade of blackened Death Metal chaos.

Even better, the lyrical focus is back on what Belphegor should be all about: Demons, evil, hatred, and fucking. They even pull off a slower tune here and there, like on the crushing "Sexdictator Lucifer". Unlike the faceless Pestapokalypse, Bondage Goat Zombie is a fast and furious assault of riff-intensive, face-mangling evil. Throw the horns, kids, because Belphegor are back to skull-fuck you.
