Belphegor Enter Studio Next Month

Austrian extreme metallers BELPHEGOR will enter Andy Classen's Stage One Studios in Kassel, Germany on Friday, November 9 to begin recording their new album for an April 11, 2008 European release via Nuclear Blast Records (April 15 in North America). The follow-up to 2006's "Pestapokalypse VI" will be recorded in three separate sessions lasting through the middle of January 2008.

Commented BLEPHEGOR's Helmuth: "Yeah it's true, since six weeks we've been working our asses off in the rehearsal room and we're already in the pre-production phase. I started the songwriting in May 2006 and directly after the Brazilian tour in September I've bunkered myself with Serpenth and session drummer Torturer into our rehearsal room. Since then we're 100% concentrated in the songwriting process, worked night and day extremely hard on the new tracks. Most of the nine compositions/arrangements is almost finished."

He added, "I'm so motivated and it feels extremely good to be creative again. This album is the next logical chapter for the bands development. For me that is not just another moderate CD — I would go into the deepest fire and give my last drop of blood for this Werk. More shredding, more cold melodies, more dynamics, more epic harmonies, more cyper-blastbeat-terror... the freakiest, wildest BELPHEGOR opera concerning guitars. Lemme tell you, the nine soundcollages sound huge, it's fucking TNT... you know it's BELPHEGOR."
