Demigod

A monstrous slab of blackened death metal , it's pure Morbid Angel worship ( that's not a bad thing it just means it's a far heavier album than their albums before this one ).Personally this is my favourite album of theirs next to the Satanist another 5 star album the music is punishing the vocals are demonic . The songs are some of their catchiest .The live DVD is also excellent their live show is ferocious productions good and seeing them play "I get erection" by TurboNegro though silly is well executed .Great DVD CD combo . Certainly a high point of Behemoths career !

SLAVES SHALL SERVE!!!SLAVES SHALL SERVE!!!(track number 9)

Metal for real metalheads

A growing trend in the realm of extreme music is to mix the best elements of both Black and Death Metal, to come up with something even more brutal and evil-sounding. Bands such as Zyklon, Myrkskog and Arkhon Infaustus are playing this style of Metal nowadays, and they're all top bands. However, one band have been doing it for longer than most, and that is Poland's Behemoth, who started out as a straight-down-the-line Black Metal band, but soon began to incorporate Death Metal into their sound, to the point where Death Metal is now actually the dominant force in the music, though you can't really tell where one begins and the other ends. On this, their new album 'Demigod', mainman Nergal and his troops have produced almost certainly the album of their career so far. The band's last record 'Zos Kia Cultus' was a great release, but this is on a whole other level completely. When the opening track 'Sculpting The Throne Ov Seth' kicks in, you know this straight away. This is some serious brutality right here and no mistake. If the bands previously mentioned do anything for you, or Behemoth's countrymen Vader, Decapitated or Lost Soul, you should certainly check them out as they're a cut above most of what passes for Death Metal these days, as well as being a little different to the masses due to their added BM influences.

Very good reissue in digibook

ok

Great Digipak edition for this amazing album! Behemoth fans must have this in their collection.

Basic packaging, not the best album. Don't feel that the sound quality is as good as it could be via vinyl.

my favorite band. go for it. black metal

Il loro lavoro migliore.Non c'è una virgola fuori posto, nonostante la densità sonora ogni cosa è lì per una ragione.Il loro stile ricorda i marduk e simili, solo con una componente melodica e compositiva avanti anni luce a questi.

ich kann nur sagen ein absolut geniales album! die lieder sind meist mit vielen verschieden facetten gemacht worden : mal schnelle und mal langsame parts aber immer gut!

Primero decir que no soy un fanatico del death metal. Mi acercamiento al estilo se ha dado con grupos mucho más melódicos como IN FLAMES, DARK TRANQUILITY, CARCASS, ELUVEITIE. Por la parte Black si que en su día profundize un poco más sobre todo con grupos como EMPEROR o SUMMONING que son de mis favoritos. En todo caso hoy en día he dejado un poco el metal en general en beneficio de otros grupos. SIn embargo me llamo la atención este grupo sobre todo desde la leucemia que sufrio su lider hace unos años y que le obligo a que le transplantasen una medula y el grupo me ha sorprendido muchisimo. No lo veo como otros grupos de Death como MORBID ANGEL o DEICIDE. Aqui no se inventa nada pero lo que se hace se hace muy bien con mucha mala lecha y muchisima técnica. La producción es muy buena y para darle variedad al Cd hay variedad de temas: Temas burros a más no poder, temaás algo más lentos (incluso machacones) y otros con algo más de melodía (Siempre bajo una premisas constantes de brutalidad).PD: Mención aparte para Inferno. Que manera de aporrear la batería y encima de todo es que se ve que lo hace de una manera totalmente controalda sabiendo lo que hace y con muy buena técnica (Dicho sea de paso como le apsa al resto del grupo)

L'album: du grand Behemoth, à la production puissante et impeccable. Le son est lourd, et les orchestrations (souvent orientales) s'imbriquent parfaitement dans l'ensemble. On retrouve plusieurs titres phares du groupe, rarement égalés par la suite: Demigod, Conquer All ou encore Slaves Shall Serve.Le digipack: nouvelle couverture pour cette édition limitée (la couverture qui apparaît sur la page Amazon se trouve en fait en première page du livret - une couverture spéciale a été créée pour cette édition). Le livret est très soigné, avec en plus des annotations de Nergal expliquant l'histoire derrière chaque morceau.Le DVD (supplément par rapport à l'édtion normale): peut-être la seule déception. Le son est correct (quoi que pas exceptionnel), le concert très énergique et avec une bonne setlist assez représentative des différents albums, mais le réalisateur s'est un peu emballé dans le montage, enchâinant souvent 3 plans différents dans la même seconde. On a donc davantage l'impression de voir une série de clips plutôt qu'un concert live, ce qui est un peu décevant. Le DVD contient uniquement le concert filmé, sans documentaire ou interview.
