The globally acclaimed metal phenomenon expands its unique universe with a full animated television series while new music is already on the horizon.

Now, that universe is about to reach its biggest milestone yet.
Currently in production, Belzebubs will become a 13-episode animated television series, produced by Pyjama Films together with Movimenti Production (Banijay Kids & Family) and Mago Production, commissioned by Yle and distributed by Banijay.
The series follows Sløth – devoted father, loving husband and frontman of the world’s most unfortunate black metal band – as he attempts to balance family life with his relentless musical ambitions.
What began as a cult webcomic has evolved into a global phenomenon. The Belzebubs universe has attracted more than 650,000 fans online, the comics have been published in over 20 countries, and the band – signed worldwide to Century Media Records / Sony Music Entertainment – received widespread acclaim with its debut album and award-winning animated music videos, which have amassed more than six million YouTube views.
With the animated series and new music arriving soon, Belzebubs continue to prove that they are far more than a band – they are one of heavy music’s most distinctive and ambitious creative worlds.
