BELPHEGOR Announce Special JUBILEE Shows In Celebration Of The Bands 20th Anniversary!

Diabolic Death Metallers BELPHEGOR have announced special shows for their 20th anniversary in 2013. The bands frontman, Helmuth, comments:

"Twenty years full of chaos and diabolical music. Yes... seemingly unreal! After fighting 10 months to get my life back, it feels amazing to be able to create the NEW sound collages coming to you next March!

"Next year we are planning some of our most crushing stage rituals to appease the demons worldwide. Really looking forward to these special jubilee shows in 2013. We're on fire. An honor - this horror!"

As previously reported, the band is currently locked up at Mana Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida working on their NEW, yet-to-be-titled album, with producer Erik Rutan (HATE ETERNAL). The band’s impending 10th studio release is due in March of 2013 via Nuclear Blast Records.

BELPHEGOR To Enter Mana Studios Next Month; NEW Record Due Later This Year Via Nuclear Blast Records!

Supreme Death/Black Metal commando, Belphegor, will enter Mana Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida next month to begin work on its NEW, yet-to-be-titled album with producer, Erik Rutan. The band’s impending 10th studio release is due out late 2012 on Nuclear Blast Records.

Commented vocalist, Helmuth, “Around 2006 I [had] contact Erik the first time, I guess. We talked about the producing of the 'Bondage Goat Zombie' album, but he wasn’t available. This time, we have to do it! Our sound, attitude… or lets say trademark, is a symbiosis of all extremities that came out of this glorious genre... Diabolical Black Death Metal.

“Since February 2012 we [rehearsed] and [wrote] hard on nine shredding sound collages. To record chapter X with Erik is perfect, since he exactly [knows] what we need and how we get this done.

“The thing is, the NEW compositions are full of intensity and pure aggression. The combination of European Metal coldness, atmosphere and sickest elements - crossed with an American brutal sound, is the master plan. This experiment is going to be ultra-sick!

“I dig to work with motivated, possessed and enthusiastic artists, to keep the fire burning, in all related things (producers, musicians, etc.) no rules, all is permitted. This is the main reason why Belphegor survived almost 20 years!”

“I am very excited to be recording and mixing the NEW Belphegor album at Mana,” added Rutan. “After many discussions with Helmuth, and hearing some clips of NEW material, I know that the band is very focused and determined on making a harmoniously evil extreme masterpiece. We shall make one beast of an album that the fans have come to expect from Belphegor!”

ZOMBIE INC.: Debut Album From Old-School Death Metal Supergroup Arrives

Attention old-school Death Metal fans, zombie/horror culture freaks and general savages... the debut full-length from Austrian deathsquad ZOMBIE INC. has arrived.

ZOMBIE INC. may be a NEW name to the Death Metal scene, but some of the henchmen involved this gory, plodding debauchery will surely raise some interest... namely former Pungent Stench vocalist Martin Schirenc's return to the Death Metal scene! Schirenc's guttural oral thunder is brutally backed by guitars from songwriting mastermind Wolfgang Rothbauer (Disbelief, Eisblut, etc.) and Gerald Huber (Collapse 7), low-end from bassist Daniel Lechner (The Cascades, ex-Lacrimas Profundere) and the percussive onslaught of Tomasz “Nefastus” Janiszewski (Belphegor, Fleshcrawl, Debauchery).

The individual potent collective of talents coalesce on ZOMBIE INC.'s debut, A Dreadful Decease, a gore-obsessed 41-minute stompfest loaded with the instinctive, intuitive and aggressive stylings of the Death Metal of the '90s, bringing names like Entombed, Autopsy, Dismember, Obituary, Deicide, Edge of Sanity and Gorefest to the chopping block. A Dreadful Decease runs rampant with horrific, apocalyptic zombie themes, both lyrically, atmospherically and visually, bearing professional artwork by SeasonZero Design. The album was recorded and mixed by Martin Schirenc at Vato Loco in Austria, and mastered by Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity, Nightingale, Bloodbath) at Unisound in Sweden, who referred to the band as "great music... old-school, the perfect way."
