Biography
From the Belzebubs website:"'Belzebubs established themselves a cult status in the black metal genre with their self-published debut album Quis Novit Daemonis Astus (2006). The band, originally formed in 2002 as a three-piece by Hubbath, Sløth and Izkariot, found a faster and melodic sound with Obesyx joining the crew. Their second self-published album, Moth of Satanas, followed in 2009, leading the group to sign with Døden Records.""However, due to a series of unfortunate events, the band was forced on hiatus for the better half of the decade. After numerous line-up changes and signing to a new label, Belzebubs is finally ready to resurrect from the dead with the aid of their new drummer Samaël, who's brought a tight, progressive touch to the rhythm section. Their Century Media debut Pantheon of the Nightside Gods came out April 26th 2019, gathering wide critical acclaim across the globe.'"

Lyrical Themes
Themes surrounding occultism, eldritch beings (or elder gods), demonic figures from the depths of Hell, and the world ending are all prevalent in Belzebubs songs. At times, they also sing in the Latin language, such as in Nam Gloria Lucifer: "Et visum est aliud signum in cælo: et ecce draco magnus rufus habens capita septem;

Et cornua decem; et in capitibus eius diademata septem; et super capita eius nomina blasphemiæ; et coronam satanae."
