CHAPTER VIII: "WALPURGIS RITES - HEXENWAHN" ALBUM COMPLETED!

BELPHEGOR have set "WALPURGIS RITES - HEXENWAHN" as the title of the band’s eighth album. The troup has just finished the fifth recording session, mixdown and mastering process with producer Andy Classen in stage one studios, Kassel/ Germany - check some studio pictures!
Here´s a comment from Helmuth: "With these nine compositions/ arrangements we continue to piss on the damn mainstream. Its BELPHEGOR to the highest, the hymns are extremely varied, more intense and epic than ever, there are new elements and structures added.
Also, we used some haunting samples here and there, to give the album a cold and ritualistic feel.
On "WALPURGIS RITES - HEXENWAHN" u will hear my most fukked up vocals to date, also the lyrical content is offensive and insane. The witch/ devil concept is amazing to work with and we used alot of original chants/ incantations from archaic scripts..."

The Werk will be released in middle of October 2009, worldwide through Nuclear Blast records.
 
VISUAL AGGRESSION FOR "WALPURGIS RITES - HEXENWAHN"
The band have tapped Brazilian artist Marcelo Hvc for the graphics of the new album. Marcelo already started working on the cover art and some magickal images.

BELPHEGOR REVEALS NEW ALBUM TITLE

Black/ Death Metal titans BELPHEGOR have set "WALPURGIS RITES - HEXENWAHN" as the title of their 8th full length studio album due out in October 2009. "WALPURGIS RITES - HEXENWAHN" marks the follow up to the groups extremely successful 2008 release "BONDAGE GOAT ZOMBIE."

Here’s what frontman Helmuth has to say: "The title fits perfect to the whole concept, the lyrical themes. Its typical BELPHEGOR, involving symbology and double meanings. I have always been fascinated by the idea and atmosphere surrounding witches, their magic, the insane sabbath/ ceremonies - and all the obscurity that goes with it. With the nine sound collages, the verses, artwork we continue our descent into the depths of musical hell."

RECORDING UPDATE FROM THE STAGE ONE STUDIOS PT.II
Demons are you ready for the next chapter? After two weeks of being in the studio, working very intensely, here is another update.

Helmuth states about the progress: "Hi all, just returned from the 2nd studio session, completed all rhythm guitars and Serpenth laid down the bass lines.
The nine sound collages started to show their grim face and i can say we´re pretty damn pleased, totally blown away by the evil atmosphere.
All sound more epic than ever, with lots of cold, haunting melodies, we also added a lot of new elements/ structures to our sound."
The band shot some photos during the recordings. The 3rd session in Stage One Studios takes place from 21.-27. March, more activities to come.
 
THE MASTERPLAN: HEXENWAHN - TOTENKULT!
As opposed to previous tales of the inquisition, this focuses upon the darker, more dismal of the mighty, powerful witches who conjure and worship demons. Those who have a pact with the forces of hell through the occult. The concept deals with demonology, witchcraft/ Hexenwahn, depraved suKKubi, blackest erotica, and as always, the grand devil, himself.

"Well, these days we rehearse for the Scandinavian tour till Thursday, then we fly over to Estonia/ Tallinn where the Einmarsch kicks off. There are a lot shows in countries where we never had the chance to shred, we are looking forward to this tour, see ya soon,"....added Serpenth.

BELPHEGOR HARD AT WORK ON NEW MATERIAL
Brachial metal outfit BELPHEGOR are in the final stages of the writing process for their upcoming, as of yet untitled album, the follow up to 2008's "BONDAGE GOAT ZOMBIE."

"Yeah, brothers and sisters, currently we're working on nine sound collages. We started directly in April 2008 after the "BONDAGE GOAT ZOMBIE" release, to create the new compositions/ arrangements for the eight Werk, 6sikk6 songs basically completely finished.
Words can't really describe how enthusiastic and motivated we are, to get into the studio and record this monster, it feels great to be creative again. Mr. Nefastus will be responsible for the drums on that album, he also blasted on "PESTAPOKALYPSE VI."
He is an old friend to the BELPHEGOR family. We rehearse day and night since December to make it as tight and monumental as possible, stay tuned demons... hell awaits!!!"

Helmuth, Serpenth, Morluch.

The highly anticipated album is scheduled for a worldwide release date in beginning of October 2009 via Nuclear Blast Records. More news on that soon, later on we will reveal the title of the album, track names and images.
