Lyrically, “Scarlet Beast – Leviathan” draws from biblical and apocalyptic symbolism, invoking the primordial sea serpent as a destructive, supreme force:
“OH, SCARLET BEAST – TITAN – LEVIATHAN – SUPREME”
The song channels chaos, fire, and blood-soaked imagery, reinforcing BELPHEGOR’s uncompromising aesthetic and devotion to dark, anti-dogmatic themes.
With Helmuth once again handling music and lyrics, the track stands as a commanding statement of ritualistic extremity — oppressive, militant, and ferocious from beginning to end.
