Belial Arisen


Seeming as July had nearly passed without a single post here on Nacht und Nebel I decided to return from my previous post being Black Funeral to post some... more, Black Funeral. This release of Michael Ford, aka Baron Drakkonian Abaddon, in retrospect with everything he has ever done under this project (including the newest 2010 release, Vukolak, which is an outstanding comeback album) this has to be my favorite. What makes this so is the way these songs were produced, the drum machine fades in and out like it would on tape, the guitars are fuzzy and melodic, and for once the vocals fit into the music just perfectly and are at his most demonic state. The music was supposedly recorded in 1996 and sat around until the vocals were completed in 2000, another extra note about this album, the artwork was originally created for the band Abigor but it ended up being refused by the label and banned in Europe, thus landing in the lap of Black Funeral instead. I've talked about Black Funeral enough, so just fucking get this, now.
