Glorior Belli

Glorior Belli is a French black metal band comprised of vocalist and guitarist Infestvvs (also involved with Obscurus Advocam, Wolfe), bassist Dispater (also Merrimack, Heol Telwen), and drummer M:A Fog (Disiplin). First formed in Paris in 2002, the group recorded a demo titled "Evil Archaic Order" two years later, and soon followed with their debut album, Ô Laudate Dominvs, in 2005. Along with its 2007 successor, Manifesting the Raging Beast, it contained raw, grim, uncompromising but surprisingly memorable black metal along the same lines as Deathspell Omega, Watain, and classic Mayhem. The band continued their grand metal experiment in 2009, releasing Meet Us at the Southern Sign. The French duo eventually signed on with the iconic metal label Metal Blade, and shortly afterwards released The Great Southern Darkness in the fall of 2011. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi
