BELPHEGOR – GOATREICH – FLESHCULT (Napalm Records)
Austria’s Belphegor are beginning to make a name for themselves outside their native country, and bully for them. I’ve been singing their evil praises to any and all who’ll listen, and with good reason. Belphegor are the perfect blend of Black/Death Metal, with a distinctive sound that bizarrely harks back to early 80’s European thrash. If Hellhammer had stuck it out chances are they would have probably mutated into Belphegor.
This is album number 6 (including an (un)live long play), hot on the hooves of 2003’s excellent Lucifer Incestus, of which was banned in Germany. From the Nuns being sodomized by devils intro – these Austrians have a morbid fascination with torturing Nuns for some reason (see album cover) – Goatriech is brimming with blistering death thrash and horrid vocals of the Linda Blair variety. Not as fast as Marduk, nor as heavy as Suffocation, nevertheless Belphegor can crank ‘em with the best of them - ‘Bleeding Salvation’, ‘Fornicationium Et Immundus Diabolus’ or the grindingly slow Morbid Angel-ish ‘Sepulture of Hypocrisy’, GF is a worthy addition to any extreme music fan’s collection.
