About Me

Belfegore was an international trio led by Germany's Meikel Clauss that released one indie album called "A Dog Is Born" and one major label self-titled release on Elektra. "All That I Wanted" was the track promoted to radio in America and came along with a music video that featured the band running on a pier on New York City's West Side. The clip was directed by Oscar winner and High Definition Video pioneer Zbig Rybczynski. Belfegore quickly fell away into obscurity but their influence on the Goth and progressive rock bands that followed is undeniable.
