Belphegor - Necrodaemon Terrorsathan

Underrated - 91%

CannibalCorpse, April 12th, 2005

This is indeed an underrated piece of metal art. Sadly, while being so great, Belphegor was/is rather unknown outside of Austria, hell, even in Austria they are far too unknown.

So, this was their 3rd full-lenght release and at this time, their best. It was also the first album with the great drummer "Torturer" and the first Belphegor album with a good production(the older ones weren't horrible underproduced, but not comparable to this new production).

The album is pretty fast(not as fast as Lucifer Incestus, though) and stays on this pace almost all the time. Which is not exactly a bad thing, because Belphegor know how to do their shit well, especially at this high speed.

All songs on here are great, except one does stick out as not being as good as the others: Tanzwut Totengesänge. The vocals in the slow verses are excellent, but sadly, they drag on too long and in the fast parts the vocals don't really flow with the rest of the band and it just sounds a little missplaced to me.

Yet, this album showed what Belphegor's future would bring = The perfect fusion between Death and Black metal.

(Check out the low budget video of "Vomit Upon The Cross", it's funny as hell!)

Choice cuts: Diabolical Possession, Necrodaemon Terrorsathan, Cremation of Holiness

Mediocre songs: Tanzwut Totengesänge

Raw Sewage: No, not here.
