Behemoth is a blackened death metal band that formed in 1991 in Gdansk, in Poland. The band consists of Adam ‘Nergal’ Darski, Zbigniew ‘Inferno’ Promiński and Tomasz ‘Orion’ Wróblewski.

Behemoth takes its name from the biblical beast, suggesting immediately the type of style its founders were going for. The band formed in 1991 with Nergal being the only original member to still be in the current line-up of the band. With Nergal on the guitar and lead vocals, the other two original members consisted of Adam ‘Baal Ravenlock’ Muraszko on drums and Adam ‘Desecrator’ Malinowski on the guitar and bass. The band started by recording demos in the early 90s, which gained little attention anywhere outside the Polish underground metal scene. They began to tour during this period, but failed to gain a large fan base due to bad promotion.

The band’s fifth album saw their real rise to fame as a headlining tour soon followed. The album, titled ‘Thelema.6’ marked the band’s real move towards blackened death metal. The album showed off the band’s precise and impressive guitar parts and drumming and was heavily supported by the press and media. With the major success of this album, the band was able to play at a number of prestigious live events like Wacken Open Air, With Full Force, Inferno Metal Festival, Mystic Festival, and Mind Over Matter Autumn, all of which helped them to increase their fan base.

With ten albums to their name as of 2014, hit singles such as ‘Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel’ and ‘Decade of Therion’ and a number of nominations, and one win, from the Polish Fryderyk Awards, the band has built quite a following for itself.

Live reviews

Behemoth great as always, The Wiltern venue in LA... much less great. Floor/mosh pit not general admission?? Got stuck around a TRUCK LOAD of hipsters and I could only see around an average of 15-20% of the stage for the bulk of the concert. If social media is a higher priority than watching a concert and you understand the intricate and varied nuances of mustache/beard waxes... The Wiltern in LA is probably a great place for you. Behemoth's stage presence has improved every show I've been to and this was easily my favorite setlist in the 7yrs since i found Behemoth but I easily had more fun last year with their 6 song setlists when they were opening for Slayer just do to other venues having more natural means to let the various types of fans find each other as they filter through a venue (I've been going to metal shows for 18yrs and this is the first time I've been surprised where you could or couldn't go with general admission). Great show... and I'm sure upwards of 40-50% of general admission purchasers got to see it properly. If you were there and got a good spot then good for you, you'll have more room next time because I won't ever pay for a metal show at The Wiltern again.

Third time I’ve had the great pleasure of seeing this truly amazing band and they did not disappoint. With every tour the quality of the production gets better and better - apparently there was a restriction on using actual flames at The Forum last night but there was plenty other forms of smoke and pyromania to add to the atmosphere, as well as very cool visual set-pieces and costume changes.

They ploughed through a good chunk of their classics and cuts from the new album that fans were hoping for such as ‘God = Dog’, ‘Ecclesia Diabolica Catholica’ and ‘Bartzabel’. ‘Daimonos’ from 2009’s Evangelion was also a nice surprise and as always, they closed out with an incredible finale.

What else is there to say that many others haven’t already? A vital, life-affirming performance from a vital, life-affirming band that any self-respecting metal fan should make a point of seeing at least once.

As a brief aside, At The Gates made for a superb main support, their material speaks for itself and they had the crowd in the palm of their hand like it was 1996 all over again. Wolves In The Throne Room also showed enough to merit checking them out further.

Behemoth is a black metal band anti church band., so they come out clad in Gothic leather or battle regalia and have their faces painted white and black with unique patterns. They come out flames ablaze on the stage with awesome pyros, massive drum set and their ambiance is overpowering. The stage is simple with the band banners and some art work.

During the sets the crowd goes wild, chants, sings, moshes. People get trampled over during some of the moshes. I mostly go for the music because I do not care to get hurt, but the one concert I went too they brought out "fake blood" and sprayed the crowd which was pretty unique and neat. The feed on the crowds energy and so does the crowd.

During each song intermission they will scream at the crowd, give them some background information or tell them to get ready for the mosh, this usually gets the masses riled up and makes them charge at each other like animals. Most of the lyrics and singing are guttural screamings so you actually need to enjoy this type of music to be able to understand it.

The show they put on is amazing for small venue, i am sure the bigger venues for them include more theatrics and better props

First off....

I would have never even known Behemoth was coming to Denver without SongKick. Good job.

Second off....

I've never seen them before in concert.

A friend and I snagged tickets for their show at the gothic theater.

This happens to be my friends favorite band too...

The concert itself was pretty good.

The opening band was a folk style death metal band from overseas...

Damn could that girl sing.. Amazing voice.

The crowd went absolutely crazy when Behemoth came out.

I've never seen anything like it.

You could tell the band and the fans were having a good time.

Their encore was great.

They said they were going to do one more song & that turned into 5 more songs.

I would definitely recommend anyone & everyone to go see these guys live.

I'm not a big death metal fan but these guys put on a great show.

I'd definitely see them again.

Somehow I had never seen Behemoth live before now. They are not only superb musicians, but performers, as well. The music completely ripped and the show was quite a spectacle. Attendance was great and everyone was clearly really into it. You should go if you get a chance to see them. At The Gates opened and really warmed the crowd up good. It was immediately apparent that they've been doing this for a while. Very tight set. Either band could have just as easily been the headliner.

I love watching Behemoth but that was the first time I've seen them as an opening act. Pretty straightforward, the only new things were Nergal breaking out a megaphone and Orion's new goatee since last I saw them gave a little more stage presence. Other than that, being limited to 7 songs made it feel a little hurried in between them. Pretty decent set list for me, but that's always subjective so it could be better or worse depending on your favorites.

Absolutely the best show I've seen in a long time. At the Gates were engaging and put on a terrific show, while Wolves in the Throne Room did well for what they do.

However, it was Behemoth who blew me away. Specifically, Nergal, whose intensity was utterly infectious. They played a great selection of tracks from various albums, and sounded amazingly close to the studio recordings. I would most definitely travel to see Behemoth again.

I attended this show especially to see Behemoth and Slayer. All the bands were good but Behemoth kicked ass. They had a very short set which disappointed me, but I'm hoping they return. I wondered how it would go, with the temp's close to 100, but they didn't disappoint. The high point of their set was when they done, O Father O Satan O Sun. They absolutely killed it. Very few bands can pull off corpse paint in the light and temps so high.

About behemoth.

Behemoth is a Polish extreme metal band from Gdańsk, formed in 1991. They are considered to have played an important role in establishing the Polish extreme metal underground. Until the late 1990s, the band played a traditional black metal style with heathen lyrical content, but soon changed to that of occult and thelemic themes written by their lead vocalist Nergal and Krzysztof Azarewicz. With the 1999 release of Satanica, the band demonstrated their presence in the death metal scene, while retaining their own signature style characterized by the drum work of Inferno, multi-layered vocals and Middle-Eastern influences. Despite Behemoth having been labeled as death metal or thrash metal-influenced, Nergal has mentioned that he does not like the band to be labeled.

BEHEMOTH Announces June/July 2023 European Tour

Polish extreme metallers BEHEMOTH will embark on "The Deathless Svmmer" European tour in June. BEHEMOTH will make appearances at some of the biggest festivals, including Download , Hellfest , Graspop Metal Meeting , Sweden Rock and more, plus play headlining shows with a curated accompaniment, featuring HYPOCRISY , VENDED , IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT and GAEREA .

BEHEMOTH frontman Adam "Nergal" Darski states: "A European festival run is truly my favorite way to spend my summer! We aim to make a lasting impression on these massive stages alongside the biggest names in metal. We've also put together some awesome club shows with a mix of legendary and contemporary artists. We can't wait to be amongst you, Legions!"

Tour dates:

June 04 - CZ Plzen - Metalfest June 08 - PL Gdansk - Mystic Festival June 09 - SE Sölvesborg - Sweden Rock Festival June 11 - UK Donington, Download Festival June 13 - CH Pratteln - Z7 (w/ VENDED, GAEREA) June 15 - FR Clisson - Hellfest June 16 - BE Dessel - Graspop June 17 - NL Utrecht - Tivoli Ronda (w/HYPOCRISY, IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT) June 18 - DE Hannover - Capitol (w/HYPOCRISY, SPIRITWORLD) June 20 - DE Karlsruhe - Substage (w/HYPOCRISY, SPIRITWORLD) June 22 - NO Oslo - Tons Of Rock June 24 - FI Nummijärvi - Nummirock June 28 - ES Viveiro - Ressurection July 02 - IT Bologna - The Return Of The Gods Festival (w/KREATOR, PANTERA)

In a recent interview with Australia's Heavy , Nergal spoke about his desire to make BEHEMOTH 's 12th studio album, "Opvs Contra Natvram" , "sound very organic", especially when compared to its predecessor, 2018's "I Loved You At Your Darkest" . He said: "Every band these days, you talk to every band, and every band — literally — heavy metal band, thrash, death, whatever, says, 'Oh, we managed to get that organic sound.' And then I go and listen to those records and I'm, like, 'There's nothing organic about this record.' Ninety-nine percent of the records, they sound robotic. Every fucking click, every kick, every snare drum, every part of the record is exactly the same. It's not organic. 'Organic' is when music fluctuates, when there's dynamics, when it goes up and down. That's why we tapped Joe Barresi [to mix the LP]. You know him for his work with NINE INCH NAILS , QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE , MONSTER MAGNET and a lot of rock bands. SLIPKNOT … Basically, rock bands, mainstream bands. And he does this old-school mixing. He doesn't use Pro Tools . I mean, he uses Pro Tools , but then, when he's done with one song, he just pulls all the knobs down and starts from scratch. You go, 'Hey, but I wanted to do some tweaks in the previous one.' 'Sorry, it's done.' You've got to pay for everything again. So [when] it's done, it's done. You don't endlessly go and correct that, which is beautiful. Twenty, thirty years ago, it was done that way."

He continued: "These days, you can fucking perfect things to the point that you cannot fucking listen to it, because the perfection makes things boring, imperfect and a whole lot uninteresting. Live, it's not perfect; that's why it's so fucking exciting. So why make things that are just so fucking polished? I don't get it, especially in extreme metal music. It's gotta be fucking weird, it's gotta be dangerous. Where is the danger factor? So I really wanted to bring the danger factor back to our music. It was present, but maybe this is the record [where] it's the most present ever."

Released last September, "Opvs Contra Natvram" was previously described in a press release as "a stark reminder of the rebellion, individuality, and unflinching self-expression that BEHEMOTH 's phenomenal work imbues, shaped by a literary worldview."

"Opvs Contra Natvram" features twin cover art available in both black and white and was released in an array of physical formats designed by Bartek Rogalewicz ( Lodge.Black ).

To do so, click the downward arrow on the top-right corner of the Facebook comment (the arrow is invisible until you roll over it) and select the appropriate action. You can also send an e-mail to blabbermouthinbox(@)gmail.com with pertinent details. BLABBERMOUTH.NET reserves the right to "hide" comments that may be considered offensive, illegal or inappropriate and to "ban" users that violate the site's Terms Of Service. Hidden comments will still appear to the user and to the user's Facebook friends. If a new comment is published from a "banned" user or contains a blacklisted word, this comment will automatically have limited visibility (the "banned" user's comments will only be visible to the user and the user's Facebook friends).
