I'm a behemoth boomer, grew up with the old shit and absolutely loved old school Behemoth, but post demigod they were becoming a bit stale



This album changed that, I still come back to it every once in awhile, more than their previous albums.



This is the last CD I bought at a retail store back in 2014

i bought like 500 CDs since 2014, you're a bad boomer.

Demigod and this are their best albums. I'm not sure they'll top this, it feels like they have been running on creative fumes since the Satanist

Album Rating: 4.0

With a title like The Shit ov God I hope it's good.

Album Rating: 4.5

Lmao there is no self-awareness for as much as I hope there one day will be.

Idk how a man can almost die, go through a path of renewal and enlightenment, and then come to conclude his great purpose was to turn his briefly great band into somehow even more of a faux edgelord brand than they had been prior. Imo if there was ever a soul to this band sweet fuck it has been extinguished.



Im still not buying Behemoth dog food, Nergal

Album Rating: 4.5

Further descent into mediocrity, but now with incredibly embarrassing song titles and lyrics. At least we got this gem.

Album Rating: 4.5

My buddy and I enjoyed bullshitting about Nergal whenever he posted some tryhard shit on Instagram. Then it grew to so incredibly cringey where it made me retroactively dislike him and the band itself. Dude's been up his own ass for a while now and, given that I haven't cared to check in on him or this band for a couple of years, seems like it hasn't changed.

Say what you want about him and where they've been before and after this album, but they are without a doubt a top 5 touring act in metal. For that, I'll continue to give them the benefit of the doubt. I've never given the beginnings ov a fuck about lyrics or song titles anyway.

They're fine. Saw them a few years ago when they opened for Lamb of God and LoG trounced their set easily. They're tight as hell but zero personality in their live set beyond set decoration and the corpse paint.

Man I saw that tour too, and would describe it exactly the opposite. Besides Randy, who is arguably the fuckin' GOAT for screamed vocals, and Art, LoG is a fuckin shell of what they once were live.



I'm not even the biggest Behemoth fan, and love LoG to death. It wasn't close. Behemoth is 100x tighter and commitment to the bit, edgy or not, goes a long way. Respect your opinion, especially in the live sense, but imo they're outstanding live and have blown everyone I've ever seen them with (six times now I think) off the stage.

terrible band agreed

which one of you got hired at my workplace recently? I saw you in your behemoth zip-up. Show yourself.

Album Rating: 4.5

I will say I saw them at The Ritz which is a small indoor venue in Raleigh. You're absolutely right that Randy's stage presence is what makes their shows great and they aren't nearly as good as they used to be, but I recall feeling like Behemoth's set was sort of flat. Tighter than dickskin, sure, but maybe it was because most of the folks were there for LoG and Behemoth is like way outside that wheelhouse.



Honestly though that's having seen them only once and not six times so I'm probably a bit off base. I appreciate your perspective though, GuyMan.

Album Rating: 4.5

Honestly can attest to that, I've seen them it 3 times and as well when they opened for LoG and Slayer. Maybe it's all smoke and mirrors gimmicks but most BM live shows are and I'll love it every time lmao. Mayhem were technically the same way but watching Attila sing into a skull and toss pig blood on the audience is still immortalized in my brain.

Album Rating: 4.0

I saw them open for Slayer and LOG as well and they were amazing.

Album Rating: 4.5

Did we all catch a leg of that Slayer and LOG tour haha? I mean, yeah Behemoth was awesome at some point, Demigod, Evangelion, and this are all killer records, but I feel like they are on autopilot these days and the shtick is wearing a bit thin.

WEEE ARRREE THA SHIIIT OVVVV GOOOOOOOD

Album Rating: 4.5

I mean that was a straight up killer tour. Regardless of my thoughts about the performance, I bought tickets specifically cause LoG and Behemoth together was almost too good to be true. I had a blast. Almost lost my glasses joining the circle pit during In Your Words

Album Rating: 4.0

That tour was amazing. Testament and Anthrax were also good, especially Testament.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

I actually felt like Testament may have stolen the show, now that you mention it, I just wasn't quite as familiar with their work at the time. I've never dug Anthrax and I was fiercely disappointed with LoG's setlist back then. Seeing a band with the gravitas of Behemoth open a tour with five other bands, even if it made all the sense in the world, still feels so weird to me lol.
