Great boxset of one of Black Metal's best bands. A truly wonderful collection of songs, great sound quality and just worth every penny for any Behemoth fan.
If you're a Behemoth fan, you know that they morphed from a raw black metal band into a polished black metal band and then into a sick death metal incarnation. What we have here is a collection of Polands best playing early, very-DIY sounding musick that's a treat for all fans of early Emperor, Hellhammer, Mayhem, Beherit and Enslaved (to name but a few). Demonica is a collection of hard to find stuff and it's all fairly rough but well done considering they likely had no budget and were teenagers in the early 90s.
Included amidst the maelstrom are two new re-recordings of old Behemoth tracks done by the present DM incarnation. These tracks are great but are somewhat OTT next to the low budget gems on the rest of the two CDs. Overall though, this is a box full of stellad dark gems that all fans of necro black metal need.
This is a fantastic side of Behemoth rarely heard. This is "true" Black Metal. I'm surpised we didn't here more of this early stuff before, especially in the US. If you are a fan of Gorgoroth and Emperor you will love this release. I know the recordings are a bit rough but it's real....
