Artist: MYSTIC CIRCLE
Album: THE BLOODY PATH OF GOD (CD)

Year: 2006
Media type: CD

Now they're taking a new step with their 7th full length album "The Bloody Path Of God" - citing the old Black Metal roots, but evolving further into the no man's land between Death and Black. Changing guitars between blastbeats and tight riff-picking show a mature band very eager to go beyond the boundaries.

Guitar player Ezpharess comments: "We're taking one step back to our early black metal roots with "The Bloody Path Of God" We used keyboards again, to provide the haunted atmosphere songs like "Doomsday Prophecy", "Riders Of The Apocalypse", "The Forgotten" or "Unholy Terror" deserve. Also singer Beelzebub is screaming again, and doesn't use the death-metal-alike growls of "Open The Gates Of Hell" anymore."

"The Bloody Path Of God" features 12 Tracks and the last one is a CELTIC FROST cover of the all time classic "Circle of the Tyrants". The Album was recorded September – December 2005 with producer Alex Koch at his new "State Of The Art" Studio in Ludwighafen. Going backwards to their roots musically, they are making a big step forward soundwise and against the sensibly flat kept sounds of the early 90ґs classical Black Metal albums, guitar and drum got the voluminous sound they deserve.

Vocalist and bass player Beelzebub comments: "We wanted a sound like this since over ten years, finally we found a producer who was able to create it." Even though he had left the band as an active member in autum of 2005, for the recordings Koch changed his engineer seat once more against his old drum stool, stepped back into his moniker as "Necrodemon" and played the drums himself. His successor will soon be presented for the first shows, till then the line-up stays reduced to the max – guitarist Ezpharess and vocalist/bass player Beelzebub performing the ultimate "infernal duo".
