Drawing Down The Moon - Beherit

Another reputed classic of early black metal, Beherit s second album (or more appropriately, their first full-length release) is a huge improvement of the careless and often terrible quality of its predecessor. The songs are fuzzy, badly produced and repetitive as Hell, but some of the riffs and dark ambient keyboard melodies are enjoyable and surprisingly memorable enough to make this comparable to the other black metal bands of the early nineties, occasionally sounding much like a less intense, less catchy, less eerie and less good Burzum. The atmosphere of this recording is dark, stinking and vile in the way only first-wave black metal ever really achieved, and the ...

Electric Doom - Beherit

I m finally beginning to understand all the fuss that s made about Beherit as one of the defining early black metal bands, as although their releases are never higher on the scale than "quite good I guess, if a bit repetitive," the diverse styles present across the band s brief discography make them highly distinctive, even if the distinction lies in their lack of defining characteristics. Electric Doom Synthesis was the second solo release of remaining band member Nuclear Holocausto, and it s such an enormous improvement over its awful predecessor that I can t help but be curious about the different drugs he was using during the composition and recording ...

H418ov21.c - Beherit

members, Nuclear Holocausto of Bloody Vengeance (catchier real name Marko Laiho, but don t tell anyone) elected to go the way of many of his black metal contemporaries and continue Beherit as a one-man band with a new, ambient-based direction compensating for the lack of a full band with synthesised instruments that sound just as convincing... right? Although he would make a surprisingly successful comeback with the follow-up album, H418ov21.C is a real stinker, and possibly one of the worst albums I ve ever heard in both an aural and compositional sense. Say what you will about Beherit (there is much to be said), but their discography certainly leaves a lasting ...
