Behemoth
Zos Kia Cultus

That's it! Behemoth is not a band anymore! They are preachers! A thought, reinforced by a deadly barrage of sounds, is imprinted in the brain like a sledgehammer and leaves a new mark in the form of another hieroglyph. I wonder how much the O.T.O. pays Nergal and Company for such a powerful agitation of the Church of Thelema? -) Probably, nothing. This is pure enthusiasm. A bright manifestation of the Holy Will. And let the discs be sold, concerts played. Let dubious deities be drawn on the covers. All this is tinsel. I will repeat myself again, saying that Behemoth is not a band. Nergal found his way. Probably, he found it back in the days of Pandemonic Encantations. And from that moment on, Behemoth ceased to be a band for me. This is an Idea. This is Faith. This band can be respected only for its lyrics. The previous reviewer (Kirill - namesake) said something about nihilism, self-love, misanthropy and religious intolerance. I don't know where he got it from. Maybe he accidentally included Marduk instead of Behemoth? Yes, some of the titles contain all sorts of relics of black metal childhood (for example, Christians To The Lions, Antichristian Phenomenon, Inflamed With Rage). But these are only titles. You have to LISTEN to the words. You have to understand that behind all this waterfall of screams there is an Idea. An idea expressed not only by Aleister Crowley. Before him, all this had been said hundreds of times, after him - thousands will be said. Nergal followed this idea, and he really is going towards his divinity. From the outside, it may look stupid, funny and pathetic. Often this is done SPECIALLY. Because not everyone can perceive the Path of Will. Crowley himself pompously called himself the Antichrist, although he had only an indirect relation to Satanism as such. Nergal followed the path of the Thelemite and decided to give a guiding thread to others. And let only a few be able to understand the real meaning of everything that is called Behemoth.

One of many great albums by Behemoth, Wild and Furious.

I did not think that Behemoth will record an album ever better than Thelema.6. Well, I was wrong. The new release of Behemoth, "powerful and destructive" - ​​as Nergal described it is undoubtedly the best creation of the band at the moment. Nergal sees no limit: each album is better than the previous one (starting with Pandemonic Incantations). This album is no longer in Death-Black style, but pure Death Metal. Starting from the first track, you are terribly heavy, but at the same time technical Mouzon, and not nearly tiresome) The disc design is also at the proper level. In general, at least the best release of 2002, although for me is the best Death album I've ever heard.

Sixième album des polonais de Behemoth, suite à leur virage vers le Death Metal, Behemoth proposent des albums d'une qualité époustouflante. Très différents les uns des autres ce 3ème de la nouvel ère Behemoth propose un Death Metal très sombre et massif.
