'Unholy Trinity' is once more recorded by Andy Laroque (King Diamond, Death) in the Sonic Train Studios in Varberg, Sweden, and shows extremely high production value, a razor-sharp execution second to none.

Lord Belial will not reinvent the Swedish black metal wheel on 'Unholy Trinity', but excels in songwriting, in skillful playing and serving the Devil with 9 great songs.

The first single track 'Ipse Venit' is a prime example of what the black metal community can expect from 'Unholy Trinity'. Razor sharp like a knife through a priest's belly it hacks and slashes until there is no more room to breathe but always guarded by a brilliant melody line.

The album will be out via Hammerheart Records on June 27th, 2025, as following editions:
- box set with exclusive vinyl color (gold/black splatter vinyl), slipmat, poster, CD and MC (only in this boxed set), limited to 150 copies
- swamp green/gold/black splatter vinyl, comes in a 3mm sleeve with insert, limited to 300
- black vinyl, comes in a 3 mm sleeve with insert
- CD (jewelcase)

Line up:
Thomas Backelin - vocals, guitars
Niclas Pepa Green - guitars

After 33 years Lord Belial is still kissing the Goat!
