BELPHEGOR Hard At Work On “Most Obscure And Brutal” New Album; Band Issues Update
June 6, 2016, 8 years ago
Belphegor are hard at work on the follow-up to their Conjuring The Dead album in Abtenau, Austria. The new album is expected in April 2017 via Nuclear Blast.
Frontman Helmuth has issued the following update: “We've just finished the fourth rehearsal session. The process consisted of 13 exhausting, creative days in a row. Nine compositions took form and already sound massive.
“It's important to me that we get better, tighter, raise the dynamics, and have each musician develop his skills with his instruments to bring our sound to the next level. We've always done our own thing and continue to do so.
“Live ceremonies are still the essence of Belphegor, making tours and marching in worldwide is our main priority after writing and releasing new musick for our loyal supporters. The new, currently untitled, album will be our most obscure and brutal one. It's the first time we've tuned our guitars to H5 and #A6, which is really low, and will add a new touch to our sound.
“Release date will be in April 2017! We're forever on fire and ready for new challenges. Progress is experimentation and improvement. An honour – this horror."
