Founded in 1991, Belial only lived a short career but burned with a bright flame. The band opened the gates to success ? and hell ? right from the start with their demo tape and mini-album ?Wisdom of Darkness? (1992). Belial's debut full length album ?Never Again? (1993) was well received by fans and even had some commercial success cementing their name as one of the cruelest and darkest-sounding Finnish death metal band of their time.
