Belphegor is my favorite band that could fit under 'extreme' I just wanted to know other peoples thoughts about this band

Definately a great black/death metal band. Lucifer Incestus is probably my favourite album by them.

ah, mother anorexia, i remember you from the previous belphegor thread, i think we agreed on the lucifer incestus being the best album.

Yep

Oh yeah,Belphegor are one of the greatest bands ever.I bought Goatreich-Fleshcult months ago and still listen to it regularly.I actually think that their best album is Blutsabbath.I also think that their combined album was pretty good as well.

their top is Goatreich Fleshcult, and the cover art of The Last Supper is one of my favourite ever... like anything a bit shocking, it was banned in Germany.

Germans censor everything

after their dark past they care about banning anything that could offend anyone... it's logical afer all but they had gone too far... even Cannibal Corpse can't play there.

When I first heard them I wasn't fully into them. But soon after I gave them another chance and they really started to grow on me. Now, they are one of my absolute favorite bands.

Cannibal Corpse can play in Germany, they played at Wacken in 2004. They can get arrested if the play Hammer Smashed face however and most of their albums come with blank covers so ive heard.

Cannibal Corpse also planned to come to Wacken 05, but they cancelled it... >.<

But on topic, Belphegor are awesome. I heard the songs "Lucifer Incestus" and "Bleeding Salvation" first and then decided to get into them more. Totally heavy Black Death Metal, they are the band that got me into "trve" Black Metal together with Behemoth.

I think Belphegor's Lucifer Incestus is their best album, but Goatreich Fleshcult kicks ass too.

i am from germany but i live in mexico right now, yeah its true cannibal corpse can play in germany but certain songs/albums ( but i dont belive whole albums are banned) are banned for example i believe a skull full of maggots, but ist dumb cuz on the other side they are allowed to play songs liek fucked witha knife, so i dont really support why germany is getting so strict on that..but whatever

The song Hammer Smashed Face i meant.

Belphegor are a pretty good band... To get a good range of samples take a look at their home page...

your the first person ive heard talk about blutsabbath positively, even belphegor say that was there worst album because apparently they recorded it at more than 1 studio so the sound quality was inconsistent, especially with the drumming.

Yeah I dont find anything wrong with it,I guess maybe because it's the first album I've heard by them also their newest album wasn't all that great,I play it a lot but I do prefer their earlier albums.

Its definately not their strongest album, nor is it a strong "extreme" album but it is still a solid Belphegor album if that made sense at all.....

Pretty evil band. I am not one for Satanic cheesy-ness, but the music is still pretty wicked. I haven't really heard a lot from this band, just what few songs are available from the internet. I can easily look past the goofy lyrics and enjoy the music. It's totally killer.

Love the band I have their latest release and there is not one dissapointing song on it at all.

I liked Goatsreich Fleshcult but could never love it because the "kill god" thing repeated in every song got old quick.

Anyone know if Helmuth is good live?

"I can easily look past the goofy lyrics and enjoy the music."

It IS the music that counts

I think the band is alright, their earlier stuff better than their "Death" metal. Hopefully their new cd will be a groundbreaking one. But for now, they are owned by Behemoth.

What Belphegor are doing is kind of similar to Behemoth in some respects, I can see why people compare the two bands. But, I think Belphegor is more straight forward and catchy - even though they're chaotic at times, they have stand-out choruses and such, which Behemoth doesn't have to quite the same extent.

I can agree with that. I never would have really thought to compare the two, but I believe they are commonly linked together because they made the transition from black to death, and are now both on Nuclear Blast.

I see recent Belphegor as a more of a black metal band with death influences and vice versa for Behemoth. Id still classify both as Blackened Death metal though.

Thought I'd just post. Listening to "Engulfed In Eternal Frost" from their 'The Last Supper' album. They were definitely Black Metal to begin with. It seems they have stayed wicked throughout their whole career. Some real Christraping Black Metal, ha. Evil shit.

Hehe, I think everybody has said this already...but Belphegor is one of my favourite bands! Goatreich-Fleshcult's a great one...my favourite but ALL of them kick major ass! Black/death is amazing...and they are gods of their genre

Yes, this is quite logical.. though I think, that when time passes and the booth the World Wars are healed enough, this will change too. I don't think Cannibal Corpse will be alive to see though.

Back on topic. I'll check them out.
