Belphegor was founded as Betrayer in 1991 by vocalist and bassist Maxx, guitarists Helmuth and Sigurd, and drummer Chris. The band released their first demo Kruzifixion in April 1991, and Unborn Blood later on. After adopting the name Belphegor in 1993, they released another demo, Bloodbath in Paradise on Maxi-CD format. At somepoint before or after the release of this demo, Maxx departed from the band, resulting in Helmuth assuming his role as both vocalist and guitarist of Belphegor since. In between 1993 and 1996 session member A-X performed bass, after which bassist Mario "Marius" Klausner joined the band as a full-time member.
The band was briefly signed to Perverted Taste Records, the label on which the demo Obscure and Deep was released in 1994. This release featured a cover of the Black Sabbath song Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Their first album, The Last Supper, was released by Lethal Records in January 1995. At this time the band's logo was also redesigned to include two inverted crosses surrounded by blood.
Justine: Soaked In Blood
Belphegor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Salvation - cut wounds - water torture
Tied up - bondage - sado terror
Possessed - crawl for me - psychopathic sex
Justine...
Soak me in blood - deadfucked to pieces
Soak me - in the fruits - of blasphemy
Dethroned cunt - goddess of purity
Godless - flagellated - licked and sodomized
Nymphomania - buttlust - anus breaths for more
Strangle me - or take me - as I am
Because - I'll be damned - in eternity
Justine...
Soak me in blood - deadfucked to pieces
Smear me - with the fruits - of perversity
Soak me - in the fruits - of blasphemy
Dethroned cunt - goddess of purity
The lyrics of Belphegor's song Justine: Soaked in Blood describe the brutal and sadistic acts inflicted upon a woman named Justine. The opening lines paint a picture of excruciating pain and suffering as Justine begs for urine and experiences water torture. The following lines describe her being tied up, subjected to sado-terror, and forced to crawl for her tormentor's pleasure. The lyrics later reveal that the torture involves both physical and sexual abuse, leaving Justine soaked in blood and humiliated.
The chorus expresses Justine's desire to be drenched in the fruits of perversity and blasphemy, no longer deserving of her former status as a goddess of purity. The song also touches on themes of Godlessness and damnation, indicating that Justine's suffering will extend beyond her mortal life.
The lyrics of Justine: Soaked in Blood are disturbing and graphic, and depict violent sexual acts. While some may find it offensive, it is important to note that Belphegor is a black/death metal band, and these themes often appear in their music. The lyrics serve as a commentary on the darker side of human nature and the extremes to which some individuals will go to satisfy their desires.
