Amazing black metal from Finland, somewhat similar to Horna in styles and techniques.
Fans of Darkthrone, Burzum and Immortal would love them.

Discuss them in this threeeeeeead.

Their latest album is really, really good. i guess everyone is hopping on the orthodox wagon now. but who cares. it's working. it transformed Behexen to something worthwhile, and imo they are now one of the, if not the, best finnish black metal band atm.

Latest album was really good, the one before that was also exceptional. Good band. One of the few raw finnish bm acts I like.

Yeah I agree, I fucking love them so much.
They have to be one of my favourite band right now, they're just so much more raw than most of the bm acts I'm hearing about now.

Yeah, really awesome band. I'd even put them on the same page as Beherit.. for finnish bm.

Ooo yeah I almost forgot about Beherit, pretty similar.
I'm really impressed with Behexen though, all their albums are solid.

Meh, sure it wasn't as good as By the Blessing of Satan or their previous shit, but MSFHG ain't terrible in the least..just lacking some of their old techniques

Their second album is one of the best BM albums for me. The raw sound with the bass loud and right up front works great and makes it very powerful. The songs are solid and it really flows as an album. I like what I've heard from the latest album as well, but I'm not too keen on the debut, the songs just arn't very good even though the style is the same as BTBOS.

I think Behexen was getting better with each consecutive release. I don't find anything special about the first disc whatsoever, but then BTBOS was a improvement imo in songwriting, while MSFHG improved in production making it a very balanced behexen release.

EDIT: Has anyone heard the two new behexen songs from the satanic warmaster split?

sure did. good to hear they're continuing with the sound of their latest full-length.

My Soul For His Glory is one of my most played albums that were released this year. It's about time that bands are starting to learn that nonstop blasting is not always good.

I'm trying to get some apparel merch. from these guys, and like most BM bands(ex.inquisition) I have a hard time finding good sites.
ANY IDEAS PEOPLE?

You can get Behexen's stuff at least from Hammer of Hate (the Finnish label, expect insane postage), and No Colours Records used to have some Inquisition merch if I recall correctly... No idea of USA/Canada though. They (Inquisition) list a shitload of merch in their myspace, yet when you click the link it doesn't go anywhere haha, maybe throw 'em with a message?

O lawd i love you, first real help i've gotten as far as looking for merch.
Yeah their myspace link bugs me way too much, I WANT THEIR STUFFFFFF..I'll probably have to end up messaging them sooner or later

My Soul For His Glory was not at all as good as By The Blessing Of Satan. It lacks nearly all the intensity that BTBOS had, and a lot of the atmosphere as well. By The Blessing Of Satan, and to a lesser extent Rituale Satanum were unique, and had a genuinity to them which most bands fail to achieve. Their latest seemed bland in comparison. I hope they're not going to head in that direction in the future.

Otherwise there's always Horna though...

This was exactly my point in my review. In comparison, not a good album at all, it lacked the intensity and unique Behexen that we all enjoyed. My Soul For His Glory can be compared more to the abundance of mediocre raw black metal bands than it can be to Behexen itself.

Inquisition - Now that's how you do raw black metal!

Haha yeah word, inquisition is way too fucking good.

I liked MSFHG. The vocals are different and in a way much better. The album is also not that raw as their previous. Anyway, one of my favourite bands from the Finnish BM scene.

Quote:
The band Sarcofago have decided to reunite and embark on a South American tour.

Wagner Lamounier, ex-vocalist and Guitarist with Sepultura, had this to say:

"Yes, we've decided to reunite for a small tour. It will be live dates only, I don't think there will be any new Material.

The Setlist will be divided so that each section gets the same amount of time, 1 each for INRI, Rotting and Laws of Scourge, as well as an extra portion of stuff from Hate to Crust, becuase I believe that we did some great stuff at that point as well (F.O.M.B.M., Satanic Terrorism and Shave Your Head come straight to mind). This is it, if you don't catch us now, you never will."

WHAT ON EARTH?????

^wtf indeed...

^^^ wtf

I haven't heard the last album from them, but I was impressed a bit by "By the Blessing of Satan". I suppose I'll check out the new one sometime.

Right now I'm more in a Classic Rock mood, so I don't actually even know what the fuck I'm blathering about.

That's why I only listened to a little metal today...and my Doors tape, lol. I had a really rough day and I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man! lol



Don't bother, it's nothing new. Definitely nothing like By the Blessing of Satan. If you've already heard 542484634 mediocre black metal albums, then you've heard this one already.
