Belphegor - The Last Supper / Blutsabbath [Compilation] (2004)

Belphegor was founded in 1993 and spread like a virus within the underground. Meanwhile, their ''Bloodbath In Paradise'' demo has become legendary and paved the baleful path into the souls of thousands of listeners. Anti-religious with nihilistic tendencies as well as provocative topics, Belphegor moved on. The debut album ''The Last Supper'' (1995) let the community of followers and opponents grow. Inexorably, the band pushes their destructive ways forward in the following years. Belphegor become louder, more obsessed and more dynamic, and their albums now have cult status. To think about the scene doesn't work without thinking of Belphegor. In 2008, the band sent their followers to the edge of hell with ''Bondage Goat Zombie'' and sparked an all-consuming Death Metal fire with blasting black metal influences. This masterpiece, inspired by the Marquis de Sade, is one of the most demanding works the genre has offered to this day. Belphegor showed themselves equally brutal and baleful on the successors ''Walpurgis Rites-Hexenwahn'' (2009) and ''Blood Magick Necromance'' (1011)
