The following message was posted on Belphegor's official website:

...again! The last session drummers didn't work out when it came to worldwide touring. The group is still seeking a talented, experienced European - based drummer. A buddy with a professional attitude and focus to be in the band for real. Belphegor have an album to finish writing and many tours to go on. If you think you have a shot, send us a detailed message and hit us up at: belphegor@aon.at.
First off, please realize that it will have no effect at all on our activities, touring and otherwise. The core is solid and ready to kick some serious ass. Of course it´s irritating to always have new drummers, but that allowed us to surpass ourselves every time, through the hiring of better musicians...

Helmuth, Sigurd, Serpenth.

Only month ago the band reported new drummer finally found, at that time vocalist Helmuth stated about Tony Laureano "Hell yeah, it's true, nobody else than Mr. Laureano blasts for Belphegor in the next two monster tours (Europe/ USA). He's a hell of a drummer and perfect for these shows. The rehearsals are goin to start on 7th of May in Abtenau/ Austria, more about this briefly..."

Death and damnation! With the Austrian Death Metallers BELPHEGOR, Nuclear Blast signed one of the most extreme Metal bands of our time. Vocalist / guitarist Helmuth is more than happy:

"BELPHEGOR are proud to have found a new partner with Nuclear Blast for our upcoming album.

Over eleven months we've been working on "Pestapokalypse VI".

We continued to develop and refine the songs over and over again. Never before we spent so much time in the rehearsal room, and never before we put so much energy in our new material. Andy Classen provided us with a massive wall of sound in the Stage One Studios. And - yeah - it's cool to see that Nuclear Blast offers distribution ways and potential we never got to experience in our past. "Pestapokalypse VI" is our masterpiece so far! Hell awaits!!!"

The album will be released on October 27th, 2006
