The Marquis De Sade's lurid writings have inspired many works of art, and not a few acts of cruelty, since their publication. BONDAGE GOAT ZOMBIE, the seventh album from Austrian Death/Black metal band Belphegor, qualifies as both. The dark eroticism of De Sade's work is augmented by Belphegor's usual mixture of Satanic and horror imagery, creating an over-the-top exploration of sex and violence intermingled. It doesn't hurt that the music is relentlessly brutal. For instance, "Sexdictator Lucifer" is a slowed-down grind with oppressive, industrial-strength riffing, and "Stigma Diabolicum" pounds at the doors of sanity with an insistent beat and throttling riffs.
