Behemoth (band)

Behemoth is one of the most revered Polish black metal and death metal bands.

Behemoth played one of the most important roles in establishing the Polish black metal underground, alongside with Graveland and Sacrilegium. Up till a few years ago, the band played rather classical black metal with a heathen lyrical content, but changed its image to a more 'satanic'/occultic one, all due to the frontman, Nergal. This coincided with an expansion of musical craftsmanship that took them out of the mediocre black metal underground and garnered them international recognition.

With this, Behemoth is no longer heathen, underground, not even black metal (they play death metal now). By some die-hard black metal fans Behemoth is called, alongside with Nergal, a group of traitors to the scene.
