BELPHEGOR Mainman Issues Recording Update

January 2, 2008

Austrian extreme metallers BELPHEGOR entered Andy Classen's Stage One Studios in Kassel, Germany in November to begin recording their new album for an April 11, 2008 European release via Nuclear Blast Records (April 15 in North America). The follow-up to 2006's "Pestapokalypse VI" is being recorded in three separate sessions lasting through the middle of January 2008.

Commented guitarist/vocalist Helmuth: "I entered the studio last Tuesday, and since that day we have been working on the new Werk with producer Andy Classen.

"Listen, the recording process so far has been absolutely amazing, I'm very proud of the result and everyone knows what to expect from BELPHEGOR. The hyperblasting drums, Serpenth's tight bass and the four rhythm guitars have been finished already in the first session. So what can I say, these nine soundcollages will be once again a proof of the most extreme metal musicals which I've created till yet.

"My whole motivation and energy is high on blood and boils over.

"Again I tried a few new song structures/arrangements, try hard to reach the next level in terms of sound, musicianship and intensity.

"In this session all the overdubs/melodies will be finished and the first leads and vocals are recorded.

"I'm totally blown away by the evil atmosphere.

"The yet-untitled death monster slowly gets a grim face. Even some choirs/ effects, acoustic guitars and sick samples will be added here and there... be prepared!"

BELPHEGOR recently completed a European tour with SIX FEET UNDER, NILE and FINNTROLL.

BELPHEGOR's video for the song "Hells Ambassador" produced and directed by F. Werner can be viewed below. The track comes off the group's latest CD, "Pestapokalypse VI", which was released on October 31, 2006 via Nuclear Blast Records.
