DIABOLICAL DEATH MUSICK since 1993. BELPHEGOR have risen to icon status when it comes to “Death/ Black Metal Art”! Hail Magick!
BELPHEGOR have risen to icon status when it comes to “Death/ Black Metal Art”!!
The dark days of autumn and winter are approaching as European troop BELPHEGOR plant another signpost to Hell upon the Earth’s surface. One of the most consistently extreme bands on the Death/Black scene crest their throne built of bones once again to uncompromisingly attack humanity, three years after their 2014 demonstration of brutality, “CONJURING THE DEAD”. “TOTENRITUAL” consists of nine compositions which, blow-by-blow, silence any doubts about the supremacy of these icons of the European scene. Merciless riff force, crunchy blasts in a dark setting – 24 years after their foundation, BELPHEGOR’s inventive creativity places them head and shoulders above the rest. Anyone looking for silence, beautiful melodies and a life-affirming aura will suffocate under the power of “TOTENRITUAL”.
Even small interludes takes the listener to a safe place only for a short period, before the next brutal attack follows. The eleventh studio album of the undisputed Death/Black Metal scene conductors follows the sophisticated path of its precursors and will have their followers kneeling down in humility. The commander of death-sounds does not use a blunt corset of henchmen for his attacks on society’s conventions, but demonstrates his skills as a high-class songwriter. From determined songs, embossed by an obsessed directness, to majestic ritualistic hymns – followers of darkest sermons will be led directly into the abyss. “TOTENRITUAL” enters mercilessly into the procession of BELPHEGOR’s works of art: another thorn in the eye of every upholder of moral standards – the end is heralded.
For the recordings of “TOTENRITUAL”, the squad retired to Stage One Studios in Germany and Studio Mischmaschine in Austria.
