through Napalm Records before joining the German label Christhunt Productions 
where he released in 2001 his final Belmez album entitled "Wundgrind".
The name of the band was inspired by a small Spanish town called Bélmez De La Moraleda 
that became famous because of paranormal phenomena which allegedly occured in the 70s and consisted
of strange images of faces which used to appear on the ground and on the walls of a modest family house in the town.
One of those face images can be seen on the cover of Belmez's debut album "Berserker".
