Belphegor Essentials

Belphegor Essentials

Taking their name from an Old Testament demon associated with orgies and worshipped in phallus form, Belphegor unsurprisingly deal in both Satanism and sex. Founded by guitarist/vocalist Helmuth Lehner in the early ‘90s, the Austrian band always marry the darkest of sounds—whether writing in German, English or Latin. Thudding blast-beat workouts like “Baphomet” and “Gasmask Terror” showcase their death-metal side, while tracks like “Lucifer Incestus” and “Blood Magick Necromance” writhe in a grim black-metal atmosphere. Elsewhere, “Sexdictator Lucifer” and “Bondage Goat Zombie” combine all their proclivities—musical and otherwise.
