Behemoth was born in Poland in 1991, formed by band mastermind, Nergal. The evolution of Behemoth grew out of early demos & studio recordings with strong black metal roots & atmospherics, into brutal extreme metal. They stamped their own identity on the metal world with their ferocious compositions, with an accomplished maturity in both songwriting & execution. 'Satanica' was Behemoth's fourth album. Originally released in 1999 & recorded at Starcraft Stimulation Studios, the album was produced & mixed by Nergal & contains 8 songs of pummelling, blackened, Death Metal where technical riffs & whirlwind drums back up mainman Nergal's unearthly vocals to produce what was deemed the band's most intense & brutal release to date. Behemoth are one of the true leaders of the Extreme Metal scene with a strong catalogue of albums & years of extensive live work, allied to an increasing mastery of the genre. This edition of 'Satanica' marks 25 years since its original release & is presented on special, limited smoke grey vinyl.
