Belphegor/Necrodaemon Terrorsathan/Last Episode/2000 CD Review


  Belphegor  are  a  band  from  Austria  that  mixes  fast  black  metal  with  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2000  album  "Necrodaemon Terrorsathan"  which  was  released  by  Last Episode.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  great  amount  of  brutal  sounding  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars,  as  for  the  keyboards  when  they  are  utilized  they  bring  a  very  dark,  atmospheric  and  ritualistic  sound  to  the  music  and  at  times  they  have  a  very  powerful sound  to  them.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  the  heaviest  and  darkest  elements  of  black and  death  metal  together  with  some melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  clean  playing  being  utilized  on  the  last  song,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  chaotic  sounding  black/death  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  range  from  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  to  deep  death  metal  growls,  while  the  lyrics  cover  Satanism,  Anti  Christian  and  Perverted  themes  with  some  parts  being  written  in  German,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  dark,  powerful  and  heavy  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  this  was  a  very  great  sounding  recording  from  Belphegor  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  probably  already  own  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Vomit  Upon  The  Cross"  "Diabolical  Possession"  "Sadism   Unbound"  and  "Cremation  Of  Holiness".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
