@dtthrasher: I’m a Behemoth freak, started with Demigod after shrugging off Thelema. I’ve since gone back and loved Thelema. I highly encourage you to give Demigod another spin, but if it’s overproduced to your ears, Thelema and Zoas might treat you better. It’s not black metal (like how they could started), but it’s definitely grittier.

@Emily: You’re hot.

I can’t really say much for their music because I’ve never really taken the time to listen to them. But, I had the pleasure of seeing them perform at Ozzfest in 2007 and, damn. They put on one hell of a show.

I have been absolutely pumped for this EP! For someone who is trying to get into Behemoth, I would go with Demigod. It gives you a good idea of their more developed sound that they have progressed to now, but still have the intensity of earlier productions. Therefore, I agree with Kye. hehe, looking forward to picking up this EP this week. Word.

I prefer Demigod the most.

The Apostasy was decent, but overall lacked the epic quality.

Thelema 6 and Zos Kia are pretty amazing too.

Their black metal stuff is awesome, but I like their more original sound now. I’d say just start at the top and work your way back through their discography

For someone that hasn’t listened to much behemoth in the past, which albums would a fan of them recommend starting with? I’ve listened to some of demigod but i just felt kind of meh about it overall, but I also haven’t given them a lot of time to grow on me.

I loved “At the Left Hand ov God”!
It held a visual quality that most metal music vids lack greatly.
Pretty much the only other one (in blackish metal) that I like is Shade Empire’s 9 in 1, it’s not nearly as over the top as “At the Left Hand…”but still has crisp production without being cheese soup.

Good for Behemoth for becoming more popular but not (yet) selling out.
