Swedish black metal band Lord Belial was formed in 1992 by singer/guitarist Dark, guitarist Vassago, bassist Bloodlord and drummer Sin. The band soon recorded its first demo, The Art of Dying; its 1994 sequel, Into the Frozen Shadows, landed Lord Belial a contract with the No Fashion label, and a year later they issued their proper debut LP, Kiss the Goat. The long-delayed Enter the Moonlight Gate followed in mid-1997, by which time Lord Belial had toured their homeland twice and headlined in Germany; tours with Dismember, Disfear and Satanic Slaughter preceded the 1999 release of Unholy Crusade.

Lord Belial is a Swedish black metal band. The band formed in 1992 and released their debut album in 1995; placing them among the pioneers of Swedish black metal. Their sound has been compared with bands such as Dissection. In January 2009, they stopped all their activities. The main reason is the hearing problem that had grown into a big problem for their drummer, Micke Backelin.
In July 2010 it was announced that Lord Belial has been resurrected with the original line-up, new material is being written and new recordings should start soon, and in August 2010 they signed to Dozer Records. About one year later, the band announced on their official Website and on Twitter that "Lord Belial are not active. No album or gigs are planned for the moment. No interviews will be answered."
