(1992 – 2009)

Lord Belial was a swedish black metal group, formed in winter of 1992. Their music could be described as melodic black metal, but they are incorporating swedish death metal influences. Lord Belial is one of a few swedish black metal bands who have stood against the winds of change since the early 90’s. Their succesful releases have proved their position as one of the leaders in their genre. In January 2009, Lord Belial has decided to quit all their activities. The main reason for this is the hearing problem (tinnitus) that has grown into a quite big problem for Micke Backelin the last years. … The other members in the band were not forced to put an end to the band but instead they mutually agreed that finding another drummer was not a solution for the future. Anyhow, if Micke’s hearing will be at least a little bit recovered, the band said that they would be glad to continue where they ended.

Last known line up:
Dark / Thomas Backelin (vocals/guitar)
Bloodlord / Anders Backelin (bass)
Sin / Micke Backelin (drums)
Vassago / Niclas Pepa Andersson (lead guitar)

How come no black metal band ever takes the name Buer, I mean they used Belphegor and almost all the other 72 demons, but I see no Buer.

I consider Blut aus Nord's Memoria Vetusta I essential, but that's about it. Early Mutiilation is good, but if one skipped them entirely they wouldn't be missing out on too much.

I can't even think of any essential French black metal.

The French scene is barely worth mentioning when it comes to black metal, past or present. The old Swedish scene is undoubtedly one of the best.

Agreed, France's BM scene is so much better than Sweden's.

Heres an Australian band, that while not being on the same level as Lord Belial, are still amassing a small following. I ask that you support them if you enjoy their hymns - http://www.myspace.com/naetudominion

Mutiilation, Blut Aus Nord, Deathspell Omega. Enough said, France is the birth place of some of the most potent BM bands.
