Biography

Salzburg, Austria (1991 – present)

Belphegor is an Austrian death/black metal band from Salzburg, Austria, originally formed in 1991 under the name Betrayer before changing their name in 1993. They are named after the demon Belphegor.

Belphegor was founded as Betrayer in 1991 by vocalist and bassist Maxx, guitarists Helmuth and Sigurd, and drummer Chris. The band released their first demo Kruzifixion in April 1991, and Unborn Blood later on. [1] After adopting the name Belphegor in 1993, they released another demo, Bloodbath in Paradise on Maxi-CD format. At somepoint before or after the release of this demo, Maxx departed from the band, resulting in Helmuth assuming his role as both vocalist and guitarist of Belphegor since. In between 1993 and 1996 session member A-X performed bass, after which bassist Mario “Marius” Klausner joined the band as a full-time member.
The band was briefly signed to Perverted Taste Records, the label on which the demo Obscure and Deep was released in 1994. This release featured a cover of the Black Sabbath song Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Their first album, The Last Supper, was released by Lethal Records in January 1995. At this time the band’s logo was also redesigned to include two inverted crosses surrounded by blood.

    It's not an actual blog, it's a simple post in one of my groups here on last.fm: http://www.last.fm/group/Music+keeps+me+from+talking+to+myself+and+hurting+others/forum/115765/_/2192316 I called it a blog, in lack of a better term. Initially, it was meant to function mainly as a sorta memo to myself, to keep the various upcoming releases all in one place... but along the way, I figured it could potentially be useful to other people as well, so I started adding all kinds of different sub-genres.

    I do get what you mean, sometimes the amount of new releases can be a bit too overwhelming to properly keep up with... for those among us with a big library/extended taste at least. Although, I'm keeping a sort of blog (post) for new (metal) releases each year, of which I happened to deem 2013 not a particularly prolific year... so far.

    sure, in 2013 i'm looking at about 13 new albums from bands i like quite a bit. that's enough for me to listen to all year while listening to nothing else. and there are many new releases from 2012 that i have barely listened to yet. i am content with waiting til 2014 for new belphegor. plenty to pass the time with. plus Blood Magick Necromance still sounds good to me. sometimes i overplay Belphegor albums and I need a break, but not so far with this one. just now Schander
