Satanica

Behemoth is one of those few bands that evolved from pure/raw black metal to Blackened Death Metal. Many bands evolved through time but not many managed to keep the innermost aspects of their music. Behemoth accomplished this. After listening to Satanica for about 40 times i have know a pretty good idea of what this album is about. First of all the production of this record is great and gets close to that of Nile-Annhilation of The Wicked and In The Darkened Shrines. In this album we have Nergal on vocals and guitar, Inferno on drums and Orion on bass. Nergal’s vocals are amazing from every single point of view. They are brutal, but not monotonous like some Death Metal vocals are. The guitar work is technical and destructive especially in the song Ceremony of Shiva. This song with LAM can give you the feeling of a huge egyptian army coming towards you. It is a feeling i have never witnessed from any song. The drumming is fast and precise and everything fits perfectly alltogether with awesome bass-work. So far i have never listened to a band that could give such brutal destruction and at the same time be so technical.
