Dark Metal
Lord Belial is the classic, Black Swedish Metal sound. Lord Belial is originally from Sweden and they formed in 1992. Some of their older album releases are sung with Swedish vocals..But their new music such as their Cd's The Seal of Belial [2004] Nocturnal Beast [2005] and the new
album, Revelation [2007] have several tracks with english lyrics. The lead singer, Thomas Backelin who plays guitar and sings vocals has a distictive, almost demonic sound and his voice is very unique.

The other members of the band are Thomas's brothers, who are Anders Backelin[Bass], and Micke Backelin [drums] and Niclas Anderson who plays
the Lead Guitars. The words in their music speak of magick, darkness and anti-religious themes.


My Favorite song from this band is "The Mark of the Beast" and you can see their video below. Also, title Track from the Seal of Belial - its one of my new favorite songs this year. This band has made great tribute to the Goetic Demon Belial with their music. With the combination of powerful lyrics, great vocals and superb guitar this band is one of the darkest ever. This band belongs in your cd player when you are ready to hear dark music. They truly deserve to be called Black Metal!
