Beleth's Trumpet Interview

 

1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?

Beleth’s Trumpet is formed in 2023 in northern depths of Finland by vhvvdth and M.SF. You can except fiercing black metal storm on the first album!

2.In July you have your first full length coming out, musically how does it differ from your previous demo?

There are maybe some haunting melodies, production is better and some of the demo songs are composed on a new way. But overall, musically it will follow the same path as demo.

3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band has explored so far with the music?

Death worship and straight-forward anti-christianity.

4.I know that the band was named after the King Of Hell in Demonology, can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in the Black Arts?

All of us have been intrested in black arts since teenage. We follow our own paths but of course they cross time to time so example the lyrics are ”easy” for me to do.

5.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the new album cover?

It’s made by talented Dhomth art. When I saw artwork for Horna’s NYX and got the chance to work with she, I knew she’s the right person for that. I send the lyrics from song ”Chapel of bones” and that’s her vision. And it just like we wanted it be!

6.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and also how would you describe your stage performance?

We played in February at our hometown Oulu with Horna, Barathrum etc. and I think that’s our best show so far.

Stage performance, Blood, fire, death. That sums it up pretty good.

7.Do you have any touring or show plans once the new album is released?

There are couple of gigs planned now but hopefully there is more to come!

8.The new album is going to be released on 'Dominance of Darkness Records', how did you get on contact with this label?

One guy from dutch band Wrang is living in Finland and he recommended the label so we decided to contact him. And it was good decision.

9.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of black metal?

What i have heard or read, feedback is really positive. And especially from the live shows, people have likes those pretty much!

10Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future/

Maybe new material has more variety because on the new songs, there is two guitarists who makes the riffs. Almost all the first album riffs are from the vhvvdth’s work.

11.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

Most of all, nineties black metal. Horna, Gorgoroth, etc. From the newer era, Terratur Possessions scene have had strong influence to us.

Nowadays I have been listening those same BM bands as always and now ’cause it’s summer here in Finland, old death metal (Deicide, Morbid Angel, Entombed…), DANZIG and finnish shlaeger have been spinning on a record player.

12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

Check out first album, Chapel of bones, if you like traditional BLACK METAL! And come to witness us live, it’s gonna be rough ride!

Beleth's Trumpet/Chapel Of Bones/Dominance of Darkness Records/2025 Full Length Review

 

  Beleth's  Trumpet  are  a  band  from  Finland  that  plays  an  old  school  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2025  album  "Chapel  Of  Bones"  which  will  be  released  in  July  by  Dominance Of Darkness Records.

  A  very  dark,  heavy  and  melodic  sound  starts  off  the  album  before  going  into  a  very  fast  and  raw  musical  direction  which  also  utilizes  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast  beats.  Vocals   are  mostly  grim  sounding  black  metal  screams  while  the  music  is  also  very  heavily  rooted  in  the  2000's  era.

  Throughout  the  recording  you  can  also  hear  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  while  a  great  portion  of  the  tracks  are  also  very  long  and  epic  in  length.  Melodies  are  also  added  into  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  along  with  all  of  the  musical  instruments  also  having  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.  When  guitar  solos  and  leads  are  utilized  they  are  done  in  a  very  dark  yet  melodic  style   and  the  whole  album  also  sticks  to  a  heavier  direction.

  Beleth's  Trumpet  plays  a  style  of  black  metal  that  is  very  raw  and  old  school  in  the  early  2000's  tradition.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  occultism,  darkness,  death  and  blasphemy  themes.  

  In  my  opinion  Beleth's  Trumpet  are  a  very  great  sounding  old  school  black  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Triumphant  Voice  Of  Beleth"  "Extermination  of  God's  Domain"  and  "Black  light".  8  out  of  10.
