Corporal Clegg's video: Behemoth - As Above So Below HQ

Behemoth is a Polish Blackened Death Metal band from Gdańsk, formed in 1991. They are considered to have played an important role in establishing the Polish extreme metal underground,alongside bands such as Vader, Decapitated, Vesania and Hate. Until the late 1990s, the band played a traditional black metal style with heathen lyrical content, but soon changed to that of occult and thelemic themes written by their lead vocalist Nergal and Krzysztof Azarewicz. With the 1999 release of Satanica, the band showed their presence in the blackened death metal scene, while retaining their own signature style characterized by the drum work of Inferno, multi-layered vocals and Middle-Eastern influences. Despite the fact that Behemoth has been labeled as death metal, black metal or thrash-influenced, Nergal has mentioned that he does not like the band to be labeled. Lyrics: "I've seen strange signs on my way Silent shadows Dancing shapes And angels fallen on the earth Face up And look there When the root ov thy being cannot reach Art thou Nephilim child? Are ye looking for thy Elysium? Here among the living trees? Among the fading stars, variablility ov forms? Sometimes love, Sometimes sadness ov things Sometimes rapture, and wine o sabbath Sometimes hatred, divine rage And 93 rears, no limit, beyond the sin - Gilgolem Ye taught me the secret words: IAO SABAO Protect thy Daimon Why why whisper thoughts But might is raised When conjurer of seasons Hums the song...sorrowful, joyful Night is eternal And day is eternal With runes ov life And runes ov death As above, so below Now it's time ov the Beast..."
