Search - Lord Belial :: Nocturnal Beast

Uppsala and the Soundfront studio was the first target in the year of 1994 for the quite new band Lord Belial as they were gonna record their debut album entitled "Kiss The Goat" which was released in 1995 and really got some heavy attention on the band because of its ugly fucking pink cover which due to incompetent manufacturing still was released, but they also got great feedback from fans worldwide, and lots of live gigs was executed that year. In the summer of 1996 Lord Belial got their asses and gear to the Fredman Studios in Gothenburg to record the follow up to "Kiss the Goat", entitled "Enter The Moonlight Gate" (which was released in mid 1997.) This time they chose Studio Dzyan to create a cover for the album and it was fucking awesome!! 1998 was the year of the creaUon of the "Unholy Crusade" and this time Los Angered Recording Studios was chosen as the battlefield of this crusade. This album was released in 1999. After lots of gigs and smaller tours Niclas decided to leave the band in 2000 and was replaced by Fredrik Wester. With a new Line-up an album, "Angel Grinder", was recorded once again in Los Angered, in the end of the process Niclas Andersson rejoined the band and now the band consisted of five members for the first Ume in their history and with three guitars it was a massive wall of sound. Micke decided to take a break from the band and was temporarily replaced by Daniel Moilanen, and with this Niclas once again quit the band with a mututal understanding. The third album in a row in Los Angered and this Ume with yet another new line-up ... Daniel quit the band in the middle of the process of the recording and Micke rejoined Lord Belial right after Daniel's departure. just before the release of the fifth album 'The Seal Of Belial' (the first album on Regain Records) a new guitarist, Hjalmar Nielsen, was recruited and Lord Belial started off as a new era was begun- a new era with a new member, new logo, and somewhat of a new musical style for the band. Even that the music is still cold, melodic and raw its not focused on the fast parts as on the previous albums. Signing to Regain Records was the best decision for Lord Belial, with their total dedication and support comes great inspiration and therefore writing material for a new album was quite a fast thing to do. Los Angered was entered to record the sixth album 'Nocturnal Beast' with Andy LaRocque as producer once again. The whole recording-session went really smooth with some pre-produced stuff such as clean guitars and aillineguitars, the whole session was over after only 22 days including mixing and mastering. 2006
