Swedish black metal veterans Lord Belial are back with their tenth album, Unholy Trinity, set for release on June 27, 2025, via Hammerheart Records, following their acclaimed 2022 comeback Rapture. Recorded by Andy LaRocque (King Diamond, Death) at Sonic Train Studios in Varberg, Sweden, the nine-track opus delivers razor-sharp execution and haunting melodies, staying true to their second-wave roots. The lead single, “Ipse Venit,” a merciless onslaught of riffs and atmosphere, is out now—stream it at lordbelial.lnk.to/ipsevenit!
“Unholy Trinity doesn’t reinvent black metal, but it’s a masterclass in songwriting and devotion to the dark,” the band stated. With 33 years of blasphemy behind them, Lord Belial—founding members Micke Backelin (drums), Niclas Pepa Green (guitars), and Thomas Backelin (guitars/vocals)—unleash tracks like “Serpent’s Feast” and “Antichrist.” Pre-order the CD, LP, limited boxset, or digital at lordbelial.lnk.to/unholytrinity.
