Swedish black metal horde LORD BELIAL has issued the following update:

"One and a half years has passed since LORD BELIAL [was] put on ice. LORD BELIAL has now been resurrected with the original lineup. New material is being written in this very moment. Some new songs will be recorded as soon as possible for streaming/downloading at [our MySpace page]."

LORD BELIAL announced it was calling it quits in January 2009, citing "the hearing problem (tinnitus): suffered by the band's drummer, Micke Backelin, as the main reason for its decision.

LORD BELIAL released its latest album, "The Black Curse", in September 2008 via Regain Records. The CD was recorded at Deadline Studios with producer Valle Adzic.

LORD BELIAL's seventh full-length album, "Revelation", was recorded at Los Angered studio (owned by KING DIAMOND guitarist Andy La Rocque) outside Gothenburg.
