Belphegor Share Music Video For New Medley Of “Blutsabbath” Tracks

Posted by caemanamelio on

Belphegor have shared an age-restricted video for a new “Blutsabbath” medley called “Blackest Sabbath 1997.” This news comes as the band are preparing to re-release “Blutsabbath” and “The Last Supper” on January 14. Helmuth Lehner commented:

“We’ve rearranged and re-recorded a medley of two songs off the ‘Blutsabbath‘ album [1997] as a promotional single for the re-release of our first two full-length LPs due 14th January 2022 in double CD and single LP formats. Florian Klein, aka Torturer, tracked the drums, and the ‘Blackest Sabbath 1997” was mixed & mastered at Jens Bogren´s Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden. It was a thrilling experiment to re-record this song I wrote in 1996 with a new sound wall, our current skills and recording capabilities 25 years later. We hail you demons, enjoy this special offering from us!”

Both albums have been remastered by Andy Classen and will be available in a variety of versions featuring uncensored artwork.

Belphegor Plan To Release New Album In April 2022

Posted by caemanamelio on

Belphegor have revealed that they are planning to release their new album in April 2022. Helmuth Lehner said the following about the effort:

“4 years and 7 months after the highly rated album, ‘Totenritual‘, we are going to release this yet untitled monster. Feels like forever and truly can’t wait to share this with our supporters out there. We didn’t rush anything, we let the whole creative process flow and experimented with adding new arrangements to the extreme Belphegor trademark sound. During this Covid thing, we had a lot of extra time, so a lot of our hatred for our situation made it into this piece of art.”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Belphegor have premiered a new video for a re-recorded version of the title track to their 2000 album “Necrodaemon Terrorsathan.“ This version of the song was released to promote the 20th anniversary edition of the album, which will be available on November 6. Frontman/guitarist Helmuth Lehner said the following:

“During these uncertain global times, we continue to glorify the Pan-demonic Totentanz with the re-recorded title track, ‘Necrodaemon Terrorsathan‘. It’s a manifestation of Diabolical Death Metal in its purest form. 20 years after the original release, it’s an offering to the horde that supports Belphegor, making it possible for us to still be here, on fire, and stronger than ever before. We hail you!”

Belphegor To Release 20th Anniversary Edition Of “Necrodaemon Terrorsathan”

Belphegor will be releasing a 20th anniversary edition of “Necrodaemon Terrorsathan“ on November 6. The effort has been remastered and it can be pre-ordered HERE. A new re-recorded version of the title track will also be released as a digital single on September 18.

Helmuth Lehner said the following about the album:

“We originally composed this album 1998-1999, recording and releasing in 2000. Our Former guitarist Sigurd [1993-2006] who marched with me around the globe wrote three songs on this monster. Session drums were handled by Manfred “Man” Gandler [Mastic Scum] and bass by Mario Klausner [Pungent Stench, Collapse VII]”

He also added the following about the re-recorded version of the title track:

“20 years later and we’re still here, stronger than ever. I originally composed this song 1998-1999, tracking and releasing it in 2000. This was a thrilling experiment for me, to have the horde to listen to how ‘Necrodaemon Terrorsathan‘ would sound if we had created the track with our skills and recording capabilities in the present era.”
