| I've listened to this band for years but I've never loved one of their records enough to go purchase and add to my collection, but this one was the one. Not only is it their best album, but alongside the 2009 releases from Nile, Suffocation, and Hypocrisy the best of the year in extreme music. I'm stoked that Colin Richardson mixed this. I was skeptical at first, but he gave them a solid sound. The music is damn near perfect. |

An Inferno of Epic Brutality
Submitted on: 2009-10-20 |

I've been a fan of Behemoth for about four years now. They're truly one of the best and most tightest and powerful death metal bands today. I've got both "Demigod" and "The Apostasy" which are both awesome albums and two of my favorites as well. For their latest full length release, 2009's "Evangelion" (their first with the mighty Metal Blade Records), Behemoth have returned, and they're no doubt more tighter, faster, and brutal than ever before. This album is an absolute brutal, raging, ripping, ferocious, and unrelenting blackened death metal tour de force that is like a towering inferno of pure epic brutality, and it's also the best album that Behemoth have to offer thus far, no question about it. The overall production here is just tight and incredible, of course with some help from Colin Richardson (Machine Head, Slipknot, Trivium, Napalm Death) who handles the mixing duties to make the band's performance more tighter and powerful than ever before. This album has all the classic traits that Behemoth are very well known for: Super angry demon-like vocals, incredibly tight drumming, fast raging and crushing guitars, phenomenal lyrics and songwriting, what more do you need? Nergal's vocals are more angry, ferocious and commanding than ever, he's like an angry beast being awaken from a deep sleep. The guitars are in top form here as both Nergal and Seth lash out brutal, chaotic, and heavy riffs, fast, fiery tremolo picking leads, and awesome mindblowing solos, while Orion soars high with thick, heavy basslines, and of course Inferno's drumming is just incredibly tight, furious and god-like with wild, rapid firing machine gun-like blast beats and maniacal, ripping double bass kicking. Words can't even describe how amazingly incredible Inferno is behind those drums, he's truly one of metal's best and most tightest drummers today.
"Evangelion" starts off strong with the excellent opener "Daimonos" which boasts fiery machine gun-like blasting, brutal slaughtering riffs, vicious throat ripping roars, and a pair of killer solos to boot, while the menacing follower "Shemhamforash" features more angry, commanding vocals, terrorizing riffage and soloing, and more machine gun style drumming, and there's also some cool middle eastern-esque sitar noodling near the end. Track three "Ov Fire and the Void" is another one of my favorites here that continues the musical terror, and is highlighted by some bursts of fast tremolo picking leads in the beginning, and there's also lots of double bass pedal kick action throughout this song, and there's also a shrot but sweet melodic solo by Seth, and great vocals from Nergal as well. Other standout tracks here on "Evangelion" include "He Who Breeds Pestilence", "Transmigrating Beyond Realms ov Amenti", "The Seed ov I", and "Defiling Morality ov Black God" which all continue the hellacious intensity. "Transmigrating Beyond Realms ov Amenti" and "Defiling Morality ov Black God" are both wild and furiously vicious blast fests that are both highlighted by more of Inferno's tight and powerful machine gun-like drumming, and the incredible 8 minute closing song "Lucifer" which is growled commandingly by Nergal in the band's native language Polish. In all seriousness, this is an amazing closing song you must hear to believe. For an added bonus, we are treated with a bonus DVD which documents the making of "Evangelion" as well as the album photo shoot, which is great.
The overall conclusion is that fans of death metal, black metal, blackened death metal, or just extreme metal period will be extremely delighted and blown away by "Evangelion". This album is definately Behemoth's best release thus far, and a true testament to their skills not only as musicians but as a whole band as well. It simply shows that these guys get better and better with every album the offer. This my friends is exactly how extreme death metal should sound like. Highly Recommended!! |
