Behemoth Information
|
|
'Behemoth' are an influential Polish death metal band, sometimes called "blackened death metal" for their black metal roots and influences. They are considered to have played one of the most important roles in establishing the Polish extreme metal underground, alongside Graveland and Sacrilegium. Until a few years ago, the band played rather classical black metal with a heathen lyrical content, but soon changed to that of occult and thelemic themes written by their lead vocalist, Nergal. This coincided with an increase in musical craftsmanship that allowed them to expand out of the black metal underground and garnered them with some international recognition. With the 2004 release of Demigod, they have fully embraced brutal technical death metal, while retaining their own signature style characterized by the staggering drumwork of Inferno, many-layered vocals and Nile-style middle-eastern influence. Their transition from black to death metal has made them "traitors" in the eyes of some hardcore fans.
