With the release of "Scarlet Beast – Leviathan", Belphegor return at their most menacing and deliberate, delivering a track that moves with the force of an advancing colossus. Built upon lumbering, monolithic riffs and a suffocating sense of inevitability, the single embodies a towering presence, vast, unrelenting, and absolute.
"Scarlet Beast – Leviathan" does not chase speed; it commands submission. Favouring tension, density, and sheer authority over velocity, the song fuses ritualistic black metal atmosphere with the crushing weight of death metal. The result is a sonic behemoth, oppressive, deliberate, and unstoppable, advancing through scorched terrain with death trailing in its wake.
The single arrives as Belphegor kick off their North American Praise The Beast tour (see the dates below), carrying this new chapter directly onto the stage. The track's immense weight and deliberate pacing translate into a live experience built on tension and command, setting the tone for a run that promises ritual intensity across the continent.
Accompanying the single is a stark and uncompromising music video that captures the essence of true darkness. Gritty and raw in execution, the visual counterpart strips away artifice and embraces ritualistic imagery, shadow, and decay. It is not spectacle, but invocation.
With "Scarlet Beast – Leviathan", Belphegor once again prove their mastery of controlled devastation. The beast does not rush. It advances. And nothing stands in its path. Link
