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.

Belphegor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wollust- kennt keine Gnade
Den Knauf- gar fest im Griff
Inibulation- ich dressiere Dich
Bondage- das Seil ist Kraft
Bondage- kein Laut von Dir
Sadism unbound- SEXDICTATOR LUCIFER
Beifsdrang- der Ohnmacht nahe
Rutenmarseh- Dein herrlich Arsch
Die Zunge-gar tief versenkt
Mummification- ich dressiere Dich
Bondage- das Seil ist Kraft
Bondage- kein Laut von Dir
Domination- Sexdictator Herr der Qual
Sadisum unbound- SEXDICTATOR LUCIFER
Leder, Stahl und Holz
[Lead: Helmuth]
Bondage- das Seil ist Kraft
Bondage- kein Laut von Dir
Domination- Sexdictator Herr der Qual
Sadism unbound- Sexdictator Lucifer
The lyrics to Belphegor's "Sexdictator Lucifer" describe an intense and erotic BDSM encounter between a dominant figure and their submissive partner. The song begins with lines about the dominance and force of the dominant partner's actions, driving the submissive partner to a state of extreme pleasure ("Peitschdrang-bis sur Ekstase/Wollust- kennt keine Gnade"). The use of bondage and mummification are referenced as tools for the dominant partner to control and train their submissive partner ("Bondage- das Seil ist Kraft/ Mummification- ich dressiere Dich"). The lyrics also contain references to sadism and domination ("Domination- Sexdictator Herr der Qual/ Sadism unbound- SEXDICTATOR LUCIFER"), indicating a one-sided power dynamic.
The song's title, "Sexdictator Lucifer," merges ideas of sexual domination with the figure of Lucifer, who is often portrayed as a powerful and commanding figure. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the power dynamic within the BDSM relationship, with the dominant partner taking on a god-like status.
