akerbeltz4.jpg (5052 bytes)THERION RISING is a powerful CD, inspired by the black/death metal of the eighties. What do you think of bands that mix keyboards, female voices and other soft elements in their music like DIMMU BORGIR, CRADLE OF FILTH and CHILDREN OF BODOM?

We don't have anything against, but we preferred oldes bands.

Many elements in THERION RISING, in the music and in the cover artwork, remind us the album TO MEGA THERION of CELTIC FROST. Did that album serve as inspiration to create THERION RISING?

The music maids for the Akerbeltz, we are inspired in Celtic Frost, Dark Throne, Bathory e Mayhem.

The lyrics of the CD are beautiful, deep and of satanic inspiration, like " Cult to Baphomet " and " Satan Age ". Are you Satanists?

Thank you, who is dosen't say...
