Behemoth – The Satanist (2014)

November 7, 2020

The strangest thing about The Satanist is that I have listened to it a whole bunch of times but I keep forgetting that I have. Like, the whole thing blurs into one track, asides from the first, and I attribute this to listening either whilst playing games, doing house work or at the gym.

Either way, The Satanist is a solid record and cemented the long-running Behemoth project as a household name in black metal. The Satanist could probably be classed as one of the best metal records in the last decade, although it loses points for me for its massively compressed and dry production job, which is not how I like my blackened metal, but hey, that’s just me.
