Vendetta Records have announced the release of Beltez, the upcoming self-titled fifth full-length album from German black metal collective Beltez. The record stands as the band’s most focused work since re-emerging from the Cologne underground scene in 2015, with lead single Gebahren der Unvernunft now streaming alongside an official lyric video.

Turning away from the ambitious storytelling concepts of their recent releases, the album shifts to an inward focus with lyrics written entirely in German to examine personal life struggles. The material maintains the group’s foundation of driving, meditative riffs, drum walls, and melancholic melodies while incorporating dynamic percussion and blast beats.

Rejecting modern production techniques, the band recorded the material using physical instruments, authentic drum setups, and amplifiers rather than software plug-ins.

Beltez arrives on 4th December 2026 via Vendetta Records.
