Glorior Belli are a black metal band from Auxerre, Burgundy, France who are currently signed to Candlelight Records.
Band’s biography :
Glorior Belli came out from the dark in 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. Their sophomore album “Manifesting the Raging Beast” was released in June of 2007 via Southern Lord Records. Their latest release, “Meet Us At The Southern Sign” reached the surface in June of 2009 via their current label, Candlelight Records.
Despite their exquisitely filthy & brutal nature, both records emit a mesmerizing otherworldly resonance that cannot be denied. An ominous rumble & 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. 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.
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…
