I saw this set. It was fucking filthy. Belzebong‘s De Mysteriis Dope Sathanas – Live in Oslo was recorded at the Kulturkirken Jakob as part of Høstsabbat 2019 (review here), where the Polish four-piece took the stage and offered a bevvy of crustily riffed fuckall delights, unspeakably heavy and undeniably stoned. If you can’t hang with that, well, then you probably can’t hang.

That the collection is titled De Mysteriis Dope Sathanas – Live in Oslo speaks even more to the band’s middle-fingers-up righteousness, the name of the thing referring of course to Mayhem‘s 1994 debut, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, which is about as landmark as Norwegian black metal records get and, as narratives go, one of the most loaded metal albums of all time, what with the murder and all. The only thing that got killed when Belzebong played Høstsabbat was the riffs.

The digital version is streaming now through Belzebong‘s Bandcamp, so feel free to listen to that here. The Høstsabbat-associated Vinter Records will release the LP this Fall in what’s to be the first installment of an ongoing series of live recordings. Cool by me. This is a hell of a way to kick that off.

Social media had it like this:
