LORD BELIAL's "Rapture" is a black metal highlight for 2022 and beyond. LORD BELIAL is a Swedish black metal band formed in 1992 during the second wave of black metal in Europe. Their first album "Kiss the Goat" was released 3 years later after the band had released a few demos to date. In 2020, Lord Belial decided to reform and in 2021 recorded "Rapture", their 9th studio album and their most mature record to date, recorded by Andy LaRoque (King Diamond/Death) at Sonic Train Studios in Varberg, Sweden: In the years following their debut album, Lord Belial has released 8 additional studio albums and has been both active and on hiatus throughout their 30 years of existence. The sound of their albums varied from pure black metal to a more death metal-influenced approach, but always had strong melodies as their trademark. Variety is "Rapture's" greatest strength, ranging from epic, doomy-atmospheric songs to fast and furious blackened attacks, making the album a real experience.
