At somepoint before or after the release of this demo, Maxx departed from the band, resulting in Helmuth assuming his role as both vocalist and guitarist of Belphegor since.

[2] The band's debut album The Last Supper was rereleased in 1999 and came clad in all new artwork and featured an additional six extra tracks from the Obscure And Deep EP.

The following year, the third album Necrodaemon Terrorsathan was released by Last Episode (nowadays known as Black Attakk), where Man again performed session drums.

In January 2001, Belphegor headlined a few shows at outdoor venues at 'Fuck The Commerce IV', 'With Full Force VIII' and 'Hell On Earth' in Germany with support from Dunkelgrafen and Dawn of Dreams.

[2] Belphegor entered Mastersound Studio in Fellbach during September 2004 record their fifth album Goatreich - Fleshcult, again produced by Alex Krull.

The band undertook a mini-tour in November with Disastrous Murmur, and played at the X-Mass Festival alongside Napalm Death, Marduk, Finntroll and Vader.

After having played bass on six of the nine tracks on the new album, bassist Barth was forced to leave the band and terminate his career after suffering a hand injury that left him unable to continue performing.

That same month Nuclear Blast issued a special ammunition box variant of the Pestapokalypse VI album, limited to just 500 copies and packed with the CD in digipack, a patch, a belt and "emergency provisions".

With support initially from Kataklysm and Unleashed and later from Arkhon Infaustus, Belphegor headlined the Midvinterblot European Tour Part II in May.

In April 2008, Bondage Goat Zombie was released featuring Helmuth on vocals and both lead and rhythm guitars, Serpenth on bass and Torturer on drums.

This was followed by an appearance at the Hellfest Summer Open Air festival in France in June 2008, and they supported Nile and Grave on the Ithyphallic tour of Europe in September 2008.

[8] Ostensibly, the new album was tentatively titled Hexenwahn - Totenkult: As opposed to previous tales of the inquisition, this focuses upon the darker, more dismal of the mighty, powerful witches who conjure and worship demons.

[11] In November 2009, the band joined the Heathenfest tour in North America, along with Eluveitie, Alestorm, Kivimetsän Druidi, and Vreid.

[13] Before Belphegor's show in St. Petersburg, the band's leader Helmuth Lehner was attacked by Anatoly Artyukh, an orthodox activist and the assistant of the deputy Vitaly Milonov.
