SCARLET BEAST - LEVIATHAN DETAILS: Diabolical death black metal titans BELPHEGORhave
released a new single titled "Scarlet Beast - Leviathan" via Reigning Phoenix
Music.
With the release of "Scarlet Beast“ Leviathan", BELPHEGOR return at
their most menacing and deliberate, delivering a track that moves with the force
of an advancing colossus. Built upon lumbering, monolithic riffs and a
suffocating sense of inevitability, the single embodies a towering presence,
vast, unrelenting, and absolute.
"Scarlet Beast - Leviathan" does not chase speed; it commands submission.
Favoring tension, density, and sheer authority over velocity, the song fuses
ritualistic black metal atmosphere with the crushing weight of death metal. The
result is a sonic behemoth, oppressive, deliberate, and unstoppable, advancing
through scorched terrain with death trailing in its wake.
The single arrives as BELPHEGOR kick off
their North American "Praise The Beast" tour, carrying this new chapter
directly onto the stage. The track's immense weight and deliberate pacing
translate into a live experience built on tension and command, setting the tone
for a run that promises ritual intensity across the continent. STREAM, GET IT HERE:
https://belphegor.rpm.link/leviathanYT
Accompanying the single is a stark and uncompromising music video that
captures the essence of true darkness. Gritty and raw in execution, the visual
counterpart strips away artifice and embraces ritualistic imagery, shadow, and
decay. It is not spectacle, but invocation.
With "Scarlet Beast - Leviathan", BELPHEGOR once again
prove their mastery of controlled devastation. The beast does not rush. It
advances. And nothing stands in its path. Mixed & mastered by Tue Madsen, Antfarm Studio
All guitars, vocals & bass recorded at Studio Mischmaschine Oberalm,
Austria with Jake K.
Drums recorded in Michael Zech's Church Of Sound Studio Munich, Ger.

"THE DEVILS" DETAILS!
Diabolical death metal squadron BELPHEGOR have
released their new album "The Devils" out via Nuclear Blast Records.
Once
again their trademark sounding "Diabolical Death Metal" will be brought
to the world. The outstanding
artwork was created by Greek artist Seth Siro Anton, with exalted design
elements influenced by renaissance and middle age paintings.
With "The Devils", long-running diabolical black death metal titans BELPHEGOR unleash
their twelfth studio album upon the masses, which proves to be one of the
strongest and most elaborate records in the groups career. Mixed & mastered at
renowned Fascination Street Studios by Jens Bogren (Kreator, Dimmu Borgir, At
The Gates), "The Devils" sounds absolutely crushing and dynamic, sonically
pushing the immense variety of the eight tracks to new heights.
The band comments: "Hail! Today we are finally unleashing our new
album "THE DEVILS" in its entirety!
I think the greatest strength of this twelfth BELPHEGOR album are the
many new elements incorporated into our unrelenting soundwall, which illuminates
the offering shine with an evil ritualistic light. We tried to push the
boundaries as musicians and as a band to bring the eight soundcollages to a new
level of “Diabolical Black Death Metal†extremity. An intense atmosphere
was our goal. "THE DEVILS" is the perfect demonstration of how we wanted to sound in
the year 2022, every aspect expressing what we seek within BELPHEGOR!"In Musick, Helmuth
The track list for the new album is as follows: I. THE DEVILS II. TOTENTANZ - DANCE MACABRE III. GLORIFIZIERUNG DES TEUFELS IV. DAMNATION - HOLLENSTURZ V. VIRTUS ASINARIA - PRAYER VI. KINGDOM OF COLD FLESH VII. RITUS INCENDIUM DIABOLUS VIII. CREATURE OF FIRE IX. BLACKEST SABBATH 1997 [Digipak bonus track]
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.
For the diabolic wall of sound, the explosive material was sent across the pond
and was refined in the Audiohammer Studios in Florida by Jason Suecof
[Mix] and Mark Lewis [Mastering]. The impressive cover artwork was again
created by the Greek artist Seth Siro Anton, who has also created the
striking visual countenance for »PESTAPOCALYPSE VI« [2006] and »CONJURING
THE DEAD« [2014].
BELPHEGOR was founded in 1993 and spread like a virus within the
underground. Meanwhile, their »BLOODBATH IN PARADISE« demo has become
legendary and paved the baleful path into the souls of thousands of listeners.
Anti-religious with nihilistic tendencies as well as provocative topics,
BELPHEGOR moved on. The debut album »The Last Supper« [1995] let the
community of followers and opponents grow. Inexorably, the band pushes their
destructive ways forward in the following years. BELPHEGOR become louder,
more obsessed and more dynamic, and their albums now have cult status. To think
about the scene doesn't work without thinking of BELPHEGOR. In 2008, the
band sent their followers to the edge of hell with »Bondage Goat Zombie«
and sparked an all-consuming Death Metal fire with blasting black metal
influences. This masterpiece, inspired by the Marquis de Sade, is one of the
most demanding works the genre has offered to this day. BELPHEGOR showed
themselves equally brutal and baleful on the successors »WALPURGIS RITES -
HEXENWAHN« [2009] and »BLOOD MAGICK NECROMANCE« [2011]. The band
received a lot of great feedback for their intense live performances as well,
and reached out to a big and loyal fan base. Their obscure rituals full of
diabolical magick have haunted the world several times – next to extensive tours
through Asia and Europe, BELPHEGOR have also completed ten tours through
North America. No matter where BELPHEGOR march forth on this planet, be
it on your stereo or live on stage, one thing is for sure: after the crest of
their devilish death ceremony, there will only be a heap of ruins remaining!

boundaries as musicians and as a band to bring the eight soundcollages to a new
level of “Diabolical Black Death Metal†extremity. An intense atmosphere
was our goal. "THE DEVILS" is the perfect demonstration of how we wanted to sound in
the year 2022, every aspect expressing what we seek within BELPHEGOR!"In Musick, Helmuth

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.
For the diabolic wall of sound, the explosive material was sent across the pond
and was refined in the Audiohammer Studios in Florida by Jason Suecof
[Mix] and Mark Lewis [Mastering]. The impressive cover artwork was again
created by the Greek artist Seth Siro Anton, who has also created the
striking visual countenance for »PESTAPOCALYPSE VI« [2006] and »CONJURING
THE DEAD« [2014].
BELPHEGOR was founded in 1993 and spread like a virus within the
underground. Meanwhile, their »BLOODBATH IN PARADISE« demo has become
legendary and paved the baleful path into the souls of thousands of listeners.
Anti-religious with nihilistic tendencies as well as provocative topics,
BELPHEGOR moved on. The debut album »The Last Supper« [1995] let the
community of followers and opponents grow. Inexorably, the band pushes their
destructive ways forward in the following years. BELPHEGOR become louder,
more obsessed and more dynamic, and their albums now have cult status. To think
about the scene doesn't work without thinking of BELPHEGOR. In 2008, the
band sent their followers to the edge of hell with »Bondage Goat Zombie«
and sparked an all-consuming Death Metal fire with blasting black metal
influences. This masterpiece, inspired by the Marquis de Sade, is one of the
most demanding works the genre has offered to this day. BELPHEGOR showed
themselves equally brutal and baleful on the successors »WALPURGIS RITES -
HEXENWAHN« [2009] and »BLOOD MAGICK NECROMANCE« [2011]. The band
received a lot of great feedback for their intense live performances as well,
and reached out to a big and loyal fan base. Their obscure rituals full of
diabolical magick have haunted the world several times – next to extensive tours
through Asia and Europe, BELPHEGOR have also completed ten tours through
North America. No matter where BELPHEGOR march forth on this planet, be
it on your stereo or live on stage, one thing is for sure: after the crest of
their devilish death ceremony, there will only be a heap of ruins remaining!
