I have never, ever, had my ass handed to me like that by any band. Without a doubt one of the most badass live performances I've ever seen. They went on about an hour after Hypocrisy, but they completely blew them out of the water. Hypocrisy (altough they were really good) came off as tired hungover bums in the wake of the monster that is Behemoth. All of them incredible stage presence and Nergal was just too badass for words. He even came out wearing that damn Sauron helmet during the final songs. I'm also pretty sure he was playing a Mike Amott signature LTD for most the songs, which was cool but I was hoping to see his new sig model in action.

Setlist duuurhhh..... I can't remember. Opening with "Ov Fire And The Void", then "Conquer All", "Shemhamforash", "Slaves Shall Serve", "Antichristian Phenomenon" and my favorite of the night "As Above, So Below". Not neceserally in that order, and there were of course other songs as well, but my neck is to sore for thinking. EDIT: Oh yeah, "At the left hand ov God" as well. Not much else from the Apostasy actually. They might have played "He Who Breeds Pestilence" too.


I hope I don't have to mention that the performance was amazingly tight. All of them just killed it, and I was especially impressed with Orion. He just looked like an evil motherfucker and shredded that bass to splinters.

FOCKING AYEEEE :rock::rock:
 
Definitely the most evil live band I've ever seen :rock::rock: And Orion truly looks like the dark lord himself on stage, but he seems like a nice dude in the studio diaries :lol:
 
he is pretty nice ;)
talked to him when he played with Vesania in Roskilde 2006.
Really down to earth guy imho.

And YES-Behemoth fucking slay live!
 
How was Orion's bass performance? I know on the albums the bass is pretty lame, mostly rooting or whatever, but from the videos I've seen he starts playing fills and whathaveyou.
