BAND: Glorior Belli

Biografie

"Once in a blood red moon, a band comes along that defies the law... Glorior Belli came out from the dark in December 2002 with Antares & Infestvvs. The first demo, "Evil Archaic Order" was released in June 2004, followed by the first album " Lavdate Dominvs" in May 2005. Despite their exquisitely filthy and brutal nature, both records emit a mesmerizing otherworldly resonance that cannot be denied. An omnious rumble and surge. Always moving forward to various points of tension & terror. Raging guitars, violent drums, blood & blasphemies...

There's obviously some bestial qualities in their art but the whole thing though has a strangely melodic bent that helps it to stand out from other black metal records, an almost indie-rock quality to the melodies, somehow super catchy while at the same time being suffocatingly black & grim. M :A Fog joined the band in early 2006 as a new drummer & Glorior Belli began the composition of their second full-length album : "Manifesting The Raging Beast", released on June 19th 2007 under the banner of Southern Lord Records. Raging with heart-eating intensity, this new album conquered the black souls, spoke of the darkest secrets and affirmed its personality toward the genre. Filled with seasick riffs, guttural vocals and surprisingly melodic lines, "Manifesting..." is as darkly beautiful as it is gloom inducing.

In summer 2008 Glorior Belli have inked a new deal with Candlelight Records in Europe & North-America. Antares is back in the band after M:A Fog's departure & Glorior Belli will record their third album: "Meet Us At The Southern Sign" in early 2009. The band has already performed some live rituals, including the Blood Soaked Torment tour with Corpus Christii in October 2005 playing alongside bands like Inquisition, Merrimack, Watain, Hell Militia, Paragon Impure, etc..."
