When it comes to extreme metal, Behemoth are the perfect example of how it should be done right.

Just very brutal, smart & not too complicated.

The one thing that draws me even more to Behemoth (aside from their amazing compositions and appearance...Nergal is one evil looking man, and in every picture, makes sure he's looking at YOU!) is that they actually care about what they write about. Their anti theist image and slightly Satanistic approach are very acceptable and their philosophy is interesting. Taking a wide range of lyrical influence, I always look forward to a Behemoth album for the linear notes, which give the meaning of the song more life & colour.

This album is no different, being extremely well produced, as always and just being epic as hell.

1. Daimonos - Just an epic start. Very technical and very powerful. Interesting lyrics. 10/10

2. Shemhamforash - Interesting topic for a song. Just as evil as Behemoth should be. 9/10

3. Ov Fire & The Void - Quite slow, but a mass of power. Great lyrics. 9/10

4. Transmigrating Beyond Realms Ov Amenti - Riff tastic. Great chorus and some knockout riffage. 9/10

5. He Who Breeds Pestilence - Odd changes, but incredibly frantic. 9/10

6. The Seed Ov I - Quite doomy. The drums is a constant force to be reckoned with though. 9/10

7. Alas, Lord Is Upon Me - Ah yes, the one with the video that got banned, for having very colourful stabs at the Catholic church, including Satanic imagery and a cardinal raping a woman. Great video though, haha. Epic song, quite short, but effective. 10/10

8. Defiling Morality Ov Black God - A wee bit filler. But better than most garbage. 8/10

9. Lucifer - Pure evil. Very doomy and disturbing. Great ending. 10/10

CONCLUSION: I wouldn't say its their best album, but it's still worth the listen. Although every Behemoth album is.
