Bestial Warlust is an Australian war metal band formed in Melbourne in 1990.
History The band started as Corpse Molestation, playing black/death metal and releasing five demos and one demo compilation. Their lyrics involved death, war and blasphemy. The band used pseudonyms. They were a pioneer of Australian black metal and extreme metal, recording two black/death metal albums in the mid-nineties before breaking up. Their raw style took off from the old-school black metal of Bathory, Sarcófago, Beherit, and Blasphemy. Many members of Bestial Warlust went on to form Deströyer 666 and participate in other Australian extreme metal acts.
In November 2019, the group announced a show at the Croxton Bandroom in Melbourne. Announced for 31 October 2020, it was delayed to March 2021, and later to 11 September that year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, before being cancelled.
