my first post here! sup folks but this has been bothering me for a while now.
Belphegor, for those of you who have heard of it, makes some awesome music, the middle-eastern sounding black/death metal riffs and the distorted vocals sound awesome, I heard like 4 songs and I can't get Blood Magick Necromance out of my head. . . Only one problem, the lyrics and what they represent is vile and not something I agree with, even the artwork is kind of screwed up to me. I listen to Behemoth all the time, they're one of my favorite bands, but they're not nearly as blasphemous as 'ol Belphy. It seems quite small, and it is but it is very annoying to me lol. Any advice is welcome:confused:
Some of it sounds cheesy, the album names? Bondage Goat Zombie? sounds like something a 10 year old came up with. . . but still

Don't worry about it bro:) I love the bleak cold sounds of black metal too.
That is what I am attuned to. The lyrics are usually secondary. I love CARPATHIAN FOREST,DARK THRONE and ENSLAVED
Carpathian Forest??? man you have some Jesus-balls if you can stand stuff like that. But seriously, though, I'm sure my parents and younger brother wouldn't be too happy if they knew about Belphegor. . . especially considering how legalistic they are nowadays. Heck, their logo itself has upside down crosses in it. I'm just afraid it'll hurt my faith, just 3-4 years ago I was a screw-up who was questioning his faith, somewhat attributable to my ADD/ADHD, and metal has helped me become a better person and Christian in many ways, and I'm pretty lenient on the lyrics, Behemoth and Cannibal Corpse are some of my absolute favorites, but stuff like Belphegor or Dimmu Borgir is just insane to me, there's a line lol.
