I DON'T HAVE AUDIO FOR THIS BAND. EVERYTHING I HAVE FOR THIS BAND, IS ON THIS PAGE. IF IT'S NOT HERE, I DON'T HAVE IT, EITHER.
NOTE: I'm not certain which band member is pictured here.
BAND NAME: Belzidum
GENRE: "Raw Unblack" / ???
GENRE: "Raw Unblack" / ???
STATUS: Split-up, possibly changed name (see notes)
LOCATION: Norway
Note: In the layout for "Regensburgh", they mention plans to change their name, because too many people were confusing "Belzidum" with "Beelzebub". However, I'm not sure if they ever actually did this, and if so, what they changed their name to. At any rate, they've since split up, according to Metal Archives.

According to the demo layout, Belzidum is "an ancient word for when you are going to be baptised".
I have never heard of this word and have no idea what language it is.

"Undarks" on [this page] claims the band was formed in 1993. I have no idea if that's true or not.
There was a [press release in 2011] from Extreme Records, stating that Belzidum were active again. In English, "They have material ready to record, and bring something new to the world in terms of extreme metal, and an incomparably better choice of lyrics and content." According to a reader, the blog that posted this ("amngospel") is a reliable source, so apparently this is a real press release. However, it's still not clear whether Belzidum themselves stated all this, or if Extreme Records and Amngospel were victims of a hoax.

How false is not, the act of alkohol. How fucked is not, the anger of a drunk. How weird is not, the act of alkohol, true love not be found.
