Behemoth - Demigod (2004)

Virtuosity, action and technique. There are many ways of describing Demigod, although it must be experienced if you are to fully understand it. Demigod, nothing less than another melancholic masterpiece, darkly triumphing the world of Brutal Death Metal.

Session guitarist Seth ironically opens up the album with his fragile, still mysterious guitar-theme in "Sculpting the Throne ov Seth." It's the breath before the plunge. The song practically explodes. BAM! Your ass is ravaged by blast beats and Nergal's dynamic riffs that'll begin the historic and brutal madness of Behemoth. The title track, one of my favourites, also starts off more calmly. Only this time you'll hear the muffled trumpets of a frenzied roman army, that even this time, expands into something dark, fast, brutal and at the same time very poignant.

Oh Demigod why do I have so many conflicting opinions on you?

It is a good album; it catapulted Behemoth into the superstar ring of death metal. It is widely accepted as their best release. I'm not going to debate about it being what it is, an entertaining and damn fine album by a talented band, but I don't think it delivers as much as the hype would tell you. They lost a lot of the black metal influence, (Demigod is pretty much a straight death metal album) but I think the problem for me with this album is the drastic difference in quality between songs.

I don't know if they'll ever match the greatness of this album ever again.

what? I hope you're kidding. Zos Kia and Satanica blow this one right out of the ball park, this is overly polished run of the mill death metal that has been done better before and after by many a band. Zos Kia and Satanica had a face of their own whereas this one doesn't.

Indeed, I cant see why their later material is preferred over those two (and Thelema for that matter) as those three albums by far surpass later Behemoth albums.

sorry couldn't think of Thelema, but that one should have been mentioned by me as well.

Rating: 9 The guitar work on here is amazing, certainly one of the band's highlights. I'd like to think this is their best album, but I haven't listened to them all yet.
