Bethlehem are legendary. Founded in 1991, their album "Dark Metal" established the musical subgenre of the same name, and with their records "Dictius Te Necare" and "S.U.i.Z.i.D.," they established themselves as the founding fathers of Suicidal/Depressive Black Metal. Around 2000, they joined with Prophecy to release their EP, "Profane Fetmilch lenzt elf krank" (1999) as well as the album "Schatten aus der Alexander Welt" (2001). In 2013, the group, along with Jürgen Bartsch, returned to the label, establishing a 4-album contract.
