GLORIOR BELLI swamped out from the temperamental suburbs of Paris in December 2002. What started as a notorious duo soon became a remarkable beast, acting as a beacon for everyone looking to free themselves of the influence of the Demiurge.
A symbolic demo - Evil Archaic Order - was released in June 2004, followed by their first full-length album Ô Lavdate Dominvs in May 2005. Their sophomore album Manifesting the Raging Beast was released in June 2007 via Southern Lord Records and their latest offering Meet Us At The Southern Sign reached the surface in June 2009 via Candlelight Records.
Lyrics and themes explored over the years reveal a sincere inclination for rebel-ism and developed sense of poetry, an intriguing and almost hypnotic journey through dark deserts and evil fields with Lucifer as personal guide.
At this point the French band has garnered a stellar reputation in the extreme music community for mixing Desert-Rock textures with the brutal, ominous, doom-laden vibe typical of Black Metal. But don’t bother trying to restrain that which cannot be confined, for this is merely the greatest curse of the cosmic scheme.
In April 2011 GLORIOR BELLI have inked a worldwide deal with Metal Blade Records in anticipation of their new album THE GREAT SOUTHERN DARKNESS, due to be released on September 23/26!
Comments the band on the new album: "The Great Southern Darkness has been recorded over a few months period and comprises of 11 tracks that magnify all the best elements of Glorior Belli in a twisted unique way again, a tremendous journey through dark deserts and evil swamps with Lucifer as personal guide. It's also dangerously violent and fast, yet at the same time really dark and have all the Americana/Stoner/Blues elements that I cherish. Though often warm and almost inviting, the allure of Glorior Belli’s bidding is revealed by a vicious duplicity; you will find comfort here, but at an unspeakable toll. The production is clear yet just harsh enough to bring a warmth, fuzzy and completely unique sound you won't find in any other modern recordings. So load up your haversack and hit the dusty road!"
