Wednesday, September 20: Behemoth, "Amen"
For all the acclaim and popularity Behemoth accrued over the past several years, especially for The Satanist, what largely went unacknowledged was that they were basically ridiculous. But then again, Nergal was just so committed to his howling maelstrom that everyone just went with it, and to be sure, the Polish act dominated their lane and was able to translate their fury into something that resonated outside the underground, becoming arguably the biggest death metal band of all time (such as it was). And “Amen” was pure frantic death metal violence all the way, with the sudden orchestral groove break making it that much more absurd, albeit in an entertaining way. Unlike, say, Kerry King, Nergal treated his disdain for organized religion as some epic battle that was sure to result in at least a few decapitations, so the grandiosity on display was so over the top that it veered into comedy before circling back to pint-swinging glorious mayhem. It was still completely irrationally silly, but “Amen” illustrated the gale force power of Behemoth’s sound and approach.

Not really satisfied of this one.
But I needed it to be finished to be signed by Nergal during the last Behemoth tour, so here it is!
