-¤ BIOGRAPHY ¤-
Once in a blood red moon, a band comes along that defies the law…
Glorior Belli came out from the dark in December 2002 with Antares & Infestvvs. The first demo, "Evil Archaic Order" was released in June 2004, followed by the first album "Ô Lavdate Dominvs" in May 2005.
Despite their exquisitely filthy and brutal nature, both records emit a mesmerizing otherworldly resonance that cannot be denied. An omnious rumble and surge. Always moving forward to various points of tension & terror. Raging guitars, violent drums, blood & blasphemies... There's obviously some bestial qualities in their art but the whole thing though has a strangely melodic bent that helps it to stand out from other black metal records, an almost indie-rock quality to the melodies, somehow super catchy while at the same time being suffocatingly black & grim.
M :A Fog joined the band in early 2006 as a new drummer & Glorior Belli began the composition of their second full-length album : « Manifesting The Raging Beast », released on June 19th 2007 under the banner of Southern Lord Records.
Raging with heart-eating intensity, this new album conquered the black souls, spoke of the darkest secrets and affirmed its personality toward the genre. Filled with seasick riffs, guttural vocals and surprisingly melodic lines, « Manifesting… » is as darkly beautiful as it is gloom inducing.
In summer 2008 Glorior Belli have inked a new deal with Candlelight Records in Europe & North-America. Antares is back in the band after M:A Fog's departure & Glorior Belli is getting ready to record their third album: "Meet Us At The Southern Sign".
The band has already performed some live rituals, including the Blood Soaked Torment tour with Corpus Christii in October 2005 playing alongside bands like Inquisition, Merrimack, Watain, Hell Militia, Paragon Impure, etc...

Sounds Like: "Filled with seasick riffs, guttural reverb-laden vocals and surprisingly melodic lines, Manifesting is as darkly beautiful as it is gloom inducing." [Metal Kult]

"France’s Glorior Belli follow up their critically acclaimed 2005 debut with another solid helping of brutal, misanthropic black hate that owes much to its forerunners while blazing its own bleak trail through the metal landscape." [Void Expression]

"For a sophomore release, this is outstanding stuff, and shows a band that is fully at ease with their talents, and not afraid to take their classic BM influences one step further." [Sea Of Tranquility]

"Glorior Belli's Manifesting the Raging Beast is everything you want in a black metal record, without a lot of what was keeping much of this genre stale. The music stays true to classic BM, yet it goes just a bit outside the boundaries to sound fresh. Also, the recording is top quality." [Feast Of Hate And Fear]

"Raging with heart-eating intensity, Glorior Belli conquers the dark black metal scene with their innate knack for suffocating vocals, buzzy guitars, and crashing percussion." [Smother.net]

"This is an impressive album from an artist pushing the limits of their genre." [Ed Johnson]

"Eerie and beautiful in its mystical musings, the new Glorior Belli album, Manifesting the Raging Beast makes an immediate impact." [Nocturnalcult]

"Enter the absolutely vicious French band Glorior Belli, whose 2005 debut full-length “O Laudate Dominvs” was highly impressive. Glorior Belli now issue their second full-length, “Manifesting The Raging Beast”. Frankly, the title of this opus couldn’t be a more apt description, as “Manifesting The Raging Beast” knocks you over with an all out black metal assault." [Live4Metal]

"Glorior Belli's "Manifesting the Raging Beast" is a shot right between the eyes and for me it's the best black metal album of the year. There aren't any week points; the songwriting is excellent, the production is clean (yet dirty) and the attitude is right ("wrong" would be more appropriate here)! What do you need more?" [Vampire Magazine]

"Beneath Glorior Belli’s spotted polish, however, there are glimpses of ragged melodies whose sources seem to be closer to indie rock than to black metal." [Jan-Arne Sohns]

"Manifesting the Raging Beast feels like a thick, chilly, humid fog, settling in, slowly blotting out the sun, with any greenery and color drained to a steely gray. There’s a nauseous feeling to these songs, a slight smoldering, a swirling disorientation that sets it apart from much of the more speed-oriented black metal." [Ink19]
