Behemoth was born in Poland in 1991, formed by band mastermind, Nergal. The
evolution of
Behemoth grew out of early demos and studio recordings with strong black metal
roots and
atmospherics, into brutal extreme metal. They stamped their own identity on the
metal world with the compositions becoming more fierce than cold, and with a
great maturity in song writing and execution becoming clearly evident with each
passing early release.
’Demigod’ was Behemoth’s seventh album and was originally released in 2004 to great acclaim. This helped further propel the band to the forefront of the extreme metal genre with some savage riffs, technical mastery, combined with lyrical themes exploring occultism and mythology. ’Demigod’ was recorded at Hendrix Studios, Poland, then moving to Dug Out Studios in Sweden for the mixing process. The album also features a guest appearance by Karl Sanders of US death gods, Nile.
This mid-price CD edition of ‘Demigod’ is presented in a jewel case packaging complete with a 16– page booklet and an OBI card. Behemoth are currently recording new material and will be headlining a selection of European festivals including a performance at Wacken 2018.
