BELPHEGOR To Enter Studio In June

May 12, 2010

Austrian blackened death metal outfit BELPHEGOR will enter Abyss Studios in Pärbly, Sweden on June 19 with producer Peter Tägtgren (IMMORTAL, CELTIC FROST, HYPOCRISY, DIMMU BORGIR) to begin recording the band's as-yet-untitled new album for an early 2011 release via Nuclear Blast Records.

Commented BELPHEGOR mainman Helmuth: "A new challenge. We're high on fire and totally motivated.

"I'm stoked to work together with a dude that needs no instruction, an excellent musician/ producer. I'm sure that Peter will create a massive soundwall for our ninth longplayer.

"We are absolutely focused on the new album. That's the only reason why we play only a few open-airs this summer.

"The masterplan is to record again in 4-5 sessions 'till middle of September. Once again letting the tracks slowly take form, with the songwriting and production reaching a new level of intensity."

Added Peter Tägtgren: "I am really looking forward to producing/ mixing the new BELPHEGOR album. It's going to be a blast... You better be prepared."

Bass shredder Serpenth stated: "On Friday we will start the fifth rehearsal session — day 24 — for the upcoming album, which lasts 'till Tuesday. We will fine-tune eight compositions out of nine. It's going to be an epic — brachial BELPHEGOR album, more shredding, more magick, more of everything."

"Walpurgis Rites - Hexenwahn", the eighth full-length studio album from BELPHEGOR, entered the official chart in the band's home country at position No. 60 and in Germany at No. 99. The follow-up to 2008's "Bondage Goat Zombie" was recorded at Andy Classen's (LEGION OF THE DAMNED, DEW-SCENTED, NEAERA, ASPHYX) Stage One Studios in Kassel, Germany.
