PARAGON BELIAL

German black metal band. Named after a Darkthrone song.

Founded by Andras, who later decided to leave Bethlehem for good to devote more time to this new project.

The band members decided to part ways again at the end of 1996.

In the year 2000, Ralph kept Paragon Belial alive and used that label for his black metal project. He released a demo album in 2001 called "Believe Was Punished by God", Zahgurim played the drums on that one. This demo album was for sale, but Ralph took it from the list after a short time because he thought it was not really Paragon Belial without the original founder of the band.

In 2005, all original members got back together and decided to create a new album.
