Belphegor were
founded back in 1993 and I must admit that I wasn’t really
interesting in checking out there music earlier, but that’s my
mistake. Shame on me. This 2-man band from
Austria
mix Black Metal with Death Metal in an awesome way. Their music is
very “catchy”…. if you can use the term “catchy” in this
kind of music?
The
drums pounds away, the finest of Black Metal and Death Metal growls
menace the listener and the guitars chop and sear away. I was really
caught with my pants down… Damn, this is great stuff!
Even
though that I find their music “catchy” I still find myself
surrounded by Demons and the Devil himself when I listen to this
fantastic release. There are songs on here that are certainly
hymn-like, as in “Bluhtsturm Erotika” and “Belphegor -
Hell’s Ambassador”, but don’t worry at all… the power is
ever present.
“Seyn
Todt in Schwarts” and “Pest Teufel Apokalypse” is extreme,
fast, demonically possessed, brutal and pulverising. And the rest of
the tracks? -You must be prepared for an onslaught of the finest
Black/Death Metal that destroys everything in sight.
This
CD ends with an instrumental track called “Das Pesthaus / Miasma
Epilog” and it’s a fucking great track. Be ready to be taken
down to Hell, because this track RULES!
Yes,
a fine Black/Death Metal release indeed. With a brilliant production
it is a deadly combination that makes for a wonderful musical
experience.
Absolutely
recommended for every Black/Death Metal fan out there. Buy 1 copy of
it today! – No, wait… buy 10…. or 100… or 666
