BELPHEGOR Forced To Miss Shows On DEICIDE Tour

February 15, 2011

Austrian blackened death metal outfit BELPHEGOR has issued that following statement in regards to its upcoming North American tour with DEICIDE:

"Due to circumstances beyond the band's control, we are being forced to cancel eleven shows, since we were initially not given the green light to enter the country. We were promised that we would be fine two weeks ago, but still all the members [did] not [get] their stuff. We all tried everything to make it happen, so it's a terrible situation. We were waiting, sharp and ready to rumble and kick serious ass, but couldn't do anything. The USA immigration forms are approved so now we have new visa interviews at the USA embassy in Vienna at the beginning of next week. Now we have reschedule the flights to make it happen. We will now start the tour in Chicago, Illinois at Reggie's on the 26th.

"We want to apologize to the demons and everyone who's bought a ticket to see us tear the stage with DEICIDE. See you in Chicago!"

BELPHEGOR's "God Is Dead - To Hell With God Tour" with DEICIDE will also feature BLACKGUARD, NEURAXIS and PATHOLOGY.

"Blood Magick Necromance", the ninth full-length album from BELPHEGOR, was released on January 14 in Europe and was made available on February 8 in the U.S. via Nuclear Blast Records. The album was produced by Peter Tägtgren (IMMORTAL, CELTIC FROST, HYPOCRISY, DIMMU BORGIR) at his Abyss Studios in Pärlby, Sweden and mastered by Jonas Kjellgren.

"Blood Magick Necromance" was released in four formats: a limited edition in black slipcase with metallic effect; a strictly limited Nuclear Blast mailorder edition box set, including a bondage necklace and chain (only 500 hand-numbered copies available); a limited picture gatefold LP on blood-red vinyl; LP on black vinyl; and a standard jewel case CD.

BELPHEGOR tapped two artists from Austria for artwork purposes: Helmut Wolech (a fetish photographer and former mortician) and Joachim Luetke for the magickal graphics and cover artwork.
