1) Behemoth is a Polish blackened death metal band from Gdańsk. 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. Over the years, Behemoth moved from traditional black metal into death metal, and have since perched in the middle of the two. They have released 11 full-length albums so far.
The band was formed in 1991 as a trio, starting with raw and primitive black metal rehearsal tapes (Endless Damnation) and demos (The Return of the Northern Moon), the most significant of which was the second one—...From the Pagan Vastlands (1993)—showing the growing potential of the then teenage Nergal. Tomasz Wróblewski likes to announce that his metal influences sprung from Black Sabbath for giving him his ideas of "demonic" chords.
This tape was released by Polish label Pagan Records and later on by the American Wild Rags. Signing with a little-known black metal bands from mid-eastern Europe with enormous potential. Consequently, stepping forward, the band (as the three piece with Nergal, Baal, and Les) recorded their second album Grom.
At the same time they recorded Grom, Behemoth finally got a chance to play live shows in its native country and finally tour around Europe, gaining stage experience as well as positive feedback from the audience. Two years later, the band recorded a third album, titled Pandemonic Incantations which was a "breakthrough moment" in Behemoth's short career. The reactions of their ever-increasing fanbase and metal media set a new standard for them. However, due to a lack of promotion, the album was not well-publicized. After another extensive tour, Behemoth signed a two-album deal with Italy's Avantgarde Music in the fall of 1998. The first result of this new collaboration was the successful album Satanica, on which the black metal sound had evolved into blackened death metal.
The label also secured two European tours for the band in support of Deicide and Satyricon respectively. During that period, Behemoth had to go through some line-up changes and problems with their ex-Polish label. The new members then were Novy (formerly known from Devilyn, now in Vader, Dies Irae) who handled the bass duties and Havok who became the band's guitarist. The new line-up resulted in Behemoth signing with Mystic, a Polish label. The next follow-up release to Satanica was Thelema.6. Massive guitar parts and precise drumming, with influences from different sources, showed that Behemoth were there to offer something really varied and innovative once again[citation needed], complete with characteristic fierce brutality and speed. Arrangements and technical invention on individual compositions made the album an ultimate one for the blackened death metal genre.
Thelema.6 has been supported by the worldwide press and media[citation needed], including having their album being officially released in Russia and Brazil for the first time. Continuing the support for Thelema.6, Behemoth appeared in several prestigious live events like Wacken Open Air, With Full Force, Inferno Metal Festival, Mystic Festival, and Mind Over Matter Autumn. They started first headlining tour alongside with Carpathian Forest and Khold, followed by festival tour in Poland (Thrash em All Fest. with Vader and Krisiun, among others).
In 2001, Behemoth focused on writing new material for a sixth studio album. Meantime, they completed their second headlining tour in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Having completed the recording of their new songs, Behemoth entered Hendrix Studio for the second time, with help of their friend and sound engineer Arkadiusz Malczewski, and produced Zos Kia Cultus (Here and Beyond). The result was impressive and overwhelming for their detractors who thought that the band couldn't reach newer heights following Thelema.6.
In February 2003, the band started their first tour in Norway, playing in cities such as Bergen, Oslo and Stavanger. On March 11, 2003, the American premiere, scheduled by Century Media Records, headlined Behemoth's first appearance in the US continent. The tour started on the 9th of March at the New Jersey's Metalfest and continued with a decent amount[citation needed] of shows across America and Canada, with the company of Deicide, Revenge, Vehemence and Amon Amarth. Shortly after doing their first US tour the band was invited to join the Blackest of the Black Tour by Glenn Danzig. The already legendary festival included acts like Danzig, Superjoint Ritual, Nile, and Opeth. In the fall of 2003, Behemoth flew over to US to complete their third tour with Six Feet Under, Skinless and Black Dahlia Murder. The band did their Finnish debut appearance on the famous Tuska Festival with Ministry, Soulfly, among others. At that time, due to some line up difficulties, Nergal parted his ways with Havok and Novy, who decided to focus on activities with their own bands. Eventually, the band resumed touring in the UK and Europe.
In 2004, their seventh studio album, Demigod was released to good critical response. Recorded at the Hendrix Studios, the album debuted at number 15 on the national Polish album charts. Music videos for the songs "Conquer All" and "Slaves Shall Serve" were also shot. In fall 2005 the band headlined the Demigod supremacy Canadian tour 2005 with Necronomicon
In 2007, the band toured Europe alongside Napalm Death, Moonspell and Dew-Scented. Behemoth released their eighth studio album The Apostasy in July of that year. It was recorded at Radio Gdańsk studio in December, 2006. Shortly after the release of The Apostasy, the band was featured as one of Ozzfest 2007's second stage headliners, one of the four non-US bands playing that year. In October/November 2007, they played their first US headlining tour alongside Job For A Cowboy, Gojira, and Beneath The Massacre. In October/November 2007 the band toured Europe alongside Canadian death metal combo Kataklysm and Belgium's Aborted.
In February 2008 Behemoth toured Europe headlining over Suicide Silence. In April/May 2008 the band toured North America as part of "The Invaluable Darkness" tour with Keep of Kalessin and headliner Dimmu Borgir. Behemoth spent the summer playing a number of prominent festivals all over Europe.
In October 2008, Behemoth released their first live album, At the Arena ov Aion – Live Apostasy. Also, an EP called Ezkaton was released featuring a re-recorded version of Chant for Eschaton 2000, one new song, two covers, and three live songs. The EP has been released in North America on November 11.

Defiling Morality Ov Black God
Behemoth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grant me profane kiss
Oh Isis, mother of all
Thy lips like morphine
Teasing my slumbering heart
Release me!
This cosmos is way too small
Come down on earth, evangelize!
Ravishing muse
Abduct my spirit
And bury my will
In spacious beyond
That human thought can never reach
Alight upon the earth
And consecrate my engines of life!
And so I chant that triumph of might
Trampling kingdoms of conscience
I, the archangel of wrath
With one word, the unholy sword
I overmastered every image of god
I come in splendor and golden glory
Seeking war trophies
And sacred spoils
To purify this heart of mine
To cast away rotten rood
Defile morality of the blind god
Defiling morality of black god
Oh Isis, mother of all
Thy lips like morphine
Teasing my slumbering heart
Release me!
This cosmos is way too small
Come down on earth, evangelize!
Abduct my spirit
And bury my will
In spacious beyond
That human thought can never reach
Alight upon the earth
And consecrate my engines of life!
And so I chant that triumph of might
Trampling kingdoms of conscience
I, the archangel of wrath
With one word, the unholy sword
I overmastered every image of god
I come in splendor and golden glory
Seeking war trophies
And sacred spoils
To purify this heart of mine
To cast away rotten rood
Defile morality of the blind god
Defiling morality of black god
The lyrics to Behemoth's song, Defiling Morality Ov Black God, are a call to the goddess Isis, known as the mother of all, to come down to earth and release the singer from their slumbering heart. They ask her to ravish their muse and bury their will in the spacious beyond, where human thought can never reach. The singer then chants a triumphant declaration of their own power, trampling kingdoms of conscience and mastering every image of god with the unholy sword. They come seeking war trophies and sacred spoils to purify their heart and cast away the rotting roots of morality that bind the blind god.

Grant me profane kiss
I ask for an impure kiss
Oh Isis, mother of all
Oh Isis, the mother of everything
Thy lips like morphine
Your lips are like a drug
Teasing my slumbering heart
Provoking my dormant heart
Release me!
Set me free!
This cosmos is way too small
The universe is too small for me
Come down on earth, evangelize!
Descend to earth and preach!
Ravishing muse
Beautiful inspiration
Abduct my spirit
Kidnap my soul
And bury my will
And hide my desires
In spacious beyond
In an unattainable space
That human thought can never reach
Out of the reach of human thought
Alight upon the earth
Land on the ground
And consecrate my engines of life!
And bless my tools of life!
And so I chant that triumph of might
I sing about the victory of power
Trampling kingdoms of conscience
Overcoming moral kingdoms
I, the archangel of wrath
I, the angel of anger
With one word, the unholy sword
With a single word, the cursed sword
I overmastered every image of god
I conquered all divine powers
I come in splendor and golden glory
I arrive in a magnificent and brilliant way
Seeking war trophies
Looking for war prizes
And sacred spoils
And holy loot
To purify this heart of mine
To cleanse my own heart
To cast away rotten rood
To get rid of bad roots
Defile morality of the blind god
Corrupt the morals of the god who cannot see

this album is so brutal. By far the only album (of any band in general) where I mostly listen to the drums more than the guitars and the vocals. Inferno's drumming on this album is just brutal and insane
Etaniel
This is the Behemoth I love! Insane drumming, powerful voice, very atmospheric guitars... I always get chills at the surge of power at 2:15
Daniel Romo
Fucking Brutal.
The drums at 2:16 are so awesome.
