So many extreme death metal bands come out of nowhere with utter inability to play well. Poland's Behemoth is not one of those bands. Alongside fellow Polish natives and death metal veterans Vader and Vomitory, Behemoth is one of the leaders of today's international extreme death metal movement. My friend actually has this record (I don't own it myself, but plan on it.) I must say that it sounds considerably different when compared with their last effort, 2003's 'Zos Kia Cultus.' Highly recommended for fans of the afforementioned bands, as well as other Satanic extreme death metal like Krisiun, Deicide, and even the founders themselves, Possessed (RIP.) HAIL SATAN!
