The “Der Geistertreiber” video can be viewed below. The clip was shot in Abtenau, Austria with director Walter Fanninger.
Commented frontman Helmuth: “The song is about the celebration on the 30th of April, better known as the Walpurgis Nacht, the occult celebrations on the broken mountain. It’s the first time that we hired a professional camera team for a BELPHEGOR video, so the result is beyond amazing. We rented a cottage three days high in the mountains in middle of nowhere in the woods. There was nothing around. Just a lot of excess, alcohol, substances etc. Was a great intense time!”
BELPHEGOR has tapped Brazilian artist Marcelo Hvc to handle the graphics for the new album.
“Bondage Goat Zombie” entered the Austrian album chart at position No. 42 upon its release in early 2008. The CD also landed on the German chart at No. 81.
