Diabolical death / black metal giants BELPHEGOR will make their long overdue return to North American shores with a headlining tour this fall. Joining them on their raid of conquest and blasphemy dubbed the Voices From The Dark 2014 tour, is a cornucopia of the finest metal miscreants the world has to offer. The kings of atmospheric blackened avant-garde metal, Greece's ROTTING CHRIST, as well as BEHEADED from Malta and SVART CROWN from France will all play their part in making each show a night to remember.
“BELPHEGOR is still brutal and consistent; rolling in worldwide like a wartime tank,” comments maniacal BELPHEGOR frontman Helmuth Lehner. “It will be a pleasure to conquer the states again. On Conjuring The Dead we celebrate Diabolical Death Musick with one of our most brutal offerings yet. Join the BELPHEGOR rituals and go to hell with us.”

BELPHEGOR recently released the official video for the track, "Conjuring The Dead”. The song is the title track of the upcoming record, which will be unleashed on August 5th (North America), August 8th (EU/Brazil/Japan) and August 11th (UK/France) via Nuclear Blast. Check out the video right HERE.
Helmuth comments: “With Conjuring The Dead we glorify diabolical death metal. BELPHEGOR is still like a world war tank, rolling in worldwide without compromise!! Now turn the volume all the way up and go to hell with us.”
The Conjuring The Dead artwork was created by Greek artist Seth Siro Anton who also painted the cover of Pestapokalypse IV in 2006.
Helmuth comments: “The spectacular cover, the offensive lyrical content, the Death Musick. BELPHEGOR´s nine new sound collages are a new dimension of intensity and dynamics.” Seth adds: ”Once you can customize the basic principles of Renaissance painting and deriving energy/data from chaotic reservoir of unconscious... you get BELPHEGOR's Conjuring The Dead cover art.”
