Problem Yet to be Solved
Man you sure do love that term don't you
"New riff"? Yeah it's a pretty good term...

Why would you say that?Besides Slayer, right?
I liked their early black metal stuff, but obviously they wouldn't return to that. It would be cool if black metal took a higher place in their sound, but not like Thelema and Satanica; more like how Belphegor do it.But you're right, the riffs sound black metalish, and one indeed reminds of 'orthodox black metal', not death or of eastern influence. Maybe it's a new direction.
Couple comments:
-I think the "cool clean vocals" you're referring to on The Apostasy were Dane (from Nevermore), not Nergal.
Behemoth make me yawn their all about imagery and gimmicks. Their albums sound the same, overrated.
Well for me, the main reason why I'm going is to see Slayer live.
Your actually the first guy I've seen calling them overrated.
I thought Demigod was very good. It's difficult to have an album that intense be that long (over 40 minutes) without getting painful, but they more or less pulled it off. Would have been stronger if one or two songs had been removed. I thought Nergal's vocals were great. They're meant to sound "artificial" and inhuman. As the Apostasy demonstrated, normal growls just sound kind of weak when fronting music like that. Also, the songs Conquer All and Slaves Shall Serve were flat-out amazing.
The Apostasy was significantly weaker than Demigod. There was very little evolution between the two albums and so the material was just weaker. Nergal's vocals were good but were a letdown after Demigod. There were some good songs but it wasn't a particularly great album. There were some more atmospheric moments that seemed promising, though.

I'm more than happy to be the second if we're talking about their newer music.
