Behemoth - The Satanist

taking it for a spin now, its great! also they have a really awesome like, 3d style website! Killer record! lead guitars are almost bluesy in parts which is a nice contrast with the brutality!
 
For anyone who is interested in taking a deeper dive into the lyrics, here's an article (from my favorite Metal blog) that delves into the religious context and references for each song.
 
Agreed. This might be a three day event for me.

Thursday - Behemoth (Philly)
Friday - Iced Earth (NYC)
Saturday - Behemoth (NYC)

Can't frigging wait. This album gets better with each listen.
 
This album is absolutely amazing from top to bottom. Not a single second wasted on this record.

Nergal has made his masterpiece.

Definitely gonna contend for album of the year, folks.
 
"Masterpiece" is a good work for it. I say that not merely because of its high quality, but there's a sense of purpose that shines through on this album. I think some artists set out to create their finest work, ala Schaffer with the Something Wicked double release. That's clearly the case here and it succeeds on all fronts.
