Blasphemy

Blasphemy is a Canadian black metal band known for their influential role in the development of the war metal subgenre, also known as bestial black metal. Formed in 1984 in Vancouver, British Columbia, the band is characterized by their raw and chaotic musical style, aggressive stage presence, and themes that often draw upon anti-religious and satanic imagery. Blasphemy released their debut album "Fallen Angel of Doom" in 1990, which quickly cemented their status within the underground metal community. Their follow-up album, "Gods of War," was released in 1993 and continued to build upon their reputation for extreme metal music. Despite a relatively small discography and infrequent releases, Blasphemy's impact on the genre has been significant, influencing numerous bands within the black and death metal scenes. The band has had periods of inactivity but has also reunited several times to perform at festivals and concerts, maintaining a cult following among fans of extreme metal music.
