Greetings from the Command Papasan. As I've mentioned in the past, I tend to plan out HMS a few months in advance. I'll spend a Saturday with a check list of metal genres and look for interesting bands and videos to share with y'all. I'm usually about three months ahead, with special folders for things like bad videos and stuff for covers month.
This morning, I went to check on today's selection, and it had been yoinked. As had the next four videos. Not sure how much longer I'm going to do this if my source material keeps vanishing.
But anyway, here's the Video That Lived. Wikispam follows:
Behemoth is a Polish blackened death metal band from Gdańsk, formed in 1991. They are considered to have played an important role in establishing the Polish extreme metal underground, alongside bands such as
Vader,
Decapitated,
Vesania and
Hate.
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 showed their presence in the blackened death metal scene, while retaining their own signature style characterized by the drum work of Inferno, multi-layered vocals and Middle-Eastern influences. Regardless that Behemoth has been labeled as death metal, black metal or thrash-influenced, Nergal has mentioned that he does not like the band to be labeled.
Enjoy Behemoth -
