(older news about the topic:)

Death / black metal titans Belphegor will enter The Abyss Studios in Pärlby, Sweden on June 19th to start recording drums. The band has tapped Peter Tägtgren (Immortal, Celtic Frost, Hypocrisy etc.) to produce their new, as of yet untitled album.

Belphegor's mainman Helmuth said: "A new challenge. We're high on fire and totally motivated. I'm stoked to work together with a dude that needs no instruction, an excellent musician/ producer. I'm sure that Peter will create a massive soundwall for our ninth longplayer. We are absolutely focused on the new album. That's the only reason why we play only a few open airs this summer.

The masterplan is to record again in 4 - 5 sessions til beginning of October. Once again letting the tracks slowly take form, with the songwriting and production reaching a new level of intensity."

Commented Peter Tägtgren: "I am really looking forward to producing/ mixing the new Belphegor album.It's going to be a blast....u better be prepared."

Bass shredder Serpenth adds: "Today, Friday we will start the sixth rehearsal session - day 29 - for the upcoming album, which lasts til Wednesday. We will fine tune nine compositions. It's going to be an epic - brachial Belphegor album, more shredding, more magick, more of everything."

Expect an early 2011 release through Nuclear Blast Records. Reports will be posted at www.belphegor.at on a regular basis.
