Profile:
The band began as a pure Black Metal band and slowly evolved and became a Blackened Death Metal band and is now pretty much completely a modern Death Metal band. Most of this is thanks in part to the recruitment of drummer Inferno, which took the band's style of metal to the next level.
It was in 1991 that Behemoth was formed by frontman Nergal. They released a few demos, "Endless Damnation" (1992), "The Return Of The Northern Moon" (1993) and "From The Pagan Vastlands" (1993). "From The Pagan Vastlands" being the demo that really showed what they wanted. They signed with an Italian company called Entropy rec., and released their debut mini-album entitled "And the forests dream eternally" in 1994. A year later they recorded their first full-length "Sventevith (storming near the Baltic)". The album give them the attention they wanted and they got a deal the German Solistitium. Rec., where they also recorded and released their second album "Grom". A very experimental album, which included female vocals, synths and acoustic guitar. They also finally did a european tour where they gained stage experience and a good reputation.
In 1997 they did a split with Damnation, re-released "The Return Of The Northern Moon" and recording the third album "Pandemonic Incantations" which featured a new drummer, Inferno.
In 1998 they got a two album record deal with Italian Avantgarde Music. They released "Satanica" 1999 and it was a huge success and secured the band tour support to Deicide and Satyricon.
In 2001 they released "Thelma.6" which gained them even more fame and led them to the European tour X-Mass Festivals, Wacken Open Air, With Full Force, Inferno Festival, Mystic Festival, Mind Over Matter etc..
In 2002 they started to work in their 6th album. They gave it the title "Zos Kia Cultus (Here and Beyond)". One of their most impressive albums to date (the band has spent almost 700 hours making it). And again, a lot of tours followed. In 2003 they released the EP "Conjuration".
