Helmuth checks in regarding the recent release: "Without exception - Belphegor has always pushed the boundaries of diabolical Art and extreme musick. Our intentions were never for mainstream success or to hit the charts, however there is no stopping the spread of our plague.

The hard work, non-stop touring and relentless musickal offerings have been paid back by the support from you Demons world wide! We are honoured once again to be able to shred endless stages and share our sikk visions with you til the end! Thanks again for buying the new album and joining us at our live rituals! Until Sadohell!!"
