Belphegor Complete Work on Unpronounceable 8th Studio Album

Austrian blackened death metal outfit BELPHEGOR have completed their work on the eighth full-length studio album, Walpurgis Rites – Hexenwahn, due later this year via Nuclear Blast Records.

Walpurgis Rites – Hexenwahn was recorded at Andy Classen’s (Dew Scented) Stage One Studios in Kassel, Germany.

Commented frontman Helmuth:

“With these nine compositions/arrangements, we continue to piss on the damn mainstream. It’s BELPHEGOR to the highest; the hymns are extremely varied, more intense and epic than ever, [and] 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, you will hear my most fucked 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.”

BELPHEGOR has tapped Brazilian artist Marcelo Hvc to handle the graphics for the new album. Added Serpenth, “The idea is to capture the okkultic orgiastic processions from the Broken Mountain, the Walpurgis night in the images.”

    Unpronounceable? Is that even a word? In any event, I can pronounce the name of the album just fine. Not too sure about the rest of the folks here, unfortunately.
