Album covers are always a hit or miss it seems. Previous albums in Belphegor's history have art that was created from an artist's imagination. Bondage Goat Zombie takes a more photographic approach. A horned goatoid, wearing both a gas mask and garter belts, adorns the cover. It's a fairly trite collage of photos but, then again, Belphegor has never been understated when it comes to their imagery.
Most of us know by now who Belphegor is. If you don't please, educate yourself. Fuck it. Let me tell you myself: Bombastic barbaric butchering of your ears through the use of crushing distortion that drags across your flesh like ripping rusty razors. Torturer is a true beast on the kit; we know this from his other sessions with Belphegor's previous albums, Lucifer Incestus and Goatreich - Fleshcult. Be forewarned; there are a lot of blastbeats! But, guess what? It's fuckin' supreme blackened death metal art. They come with the territory. There's also a few references to the Lord of Darkness. So if any god-fearing christian cunts are still reading this, now would be the time to fuck off. Thanks. But enough of that superficial shit...
The album as a whole has a decent ebb and flow. Belphegor (mostly Helmuth) know how to write records. It's probably why they decided to do this in the first place. Every so often you can hear some unique guitar melodies that deviate slightly from the norm. Overall, don't expect Pestokalpyse VI Version II. There are songs that are totally unnecessary. They have too many structural parts tacked on only to cram in another lackluster guitar lick. Others are half-assed and not very good at all. These more elaborate attempts at atmospheric writings are limited to feminine moans over top some doomy sludge riff. Keys are used, albeit sparingly. However, they come and go so quick that it's best to pretend they aren't actually there. If you want to know which ones to avoid, you'll have to buy the record. Support these bands and buy the damn album! On the other hand, I can tell you that a few tracks are really well done. Built on a good foundation, decorated with nifty guitar segments and architecturally-supportive wretched vocalizations.
I know you won't jump out of your skin and gallop to the local record store to get this. Damn, that's a lame sentence. It's almost 7 years old; they would probably have to order it for you anyway. So! Let's recap. Belphegor are certainly busy little beavers as they put out a new record every 2 to 3 years. However, they need to know which songs are garbage and which ones stick. Buy this record if your taste extends to blasphemously bludgeoning and shredding aural assaults in the name of Satan. Music is meant to be heard. Please listen and judge for yourself.
