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.
In August 2009, the band released their newest effort "Evangelion". The album received positive reviews from the metal press.
2) Behemoth was a Swedish black metal band, who released 2 demotapes in 1993/1994.
3) Behemoth was a Swedish heavy metal band, released the 7" Deathwings in 1982.
4) Behemoth was a Brazilian black metal band. They released two demos during the short lifespan, "Malignant Ascencion of Sathanas" (1992) and "Satanic Black Temple of Goat" (1993).
O Father O Satan O Sun!
Behemoth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shine through me
Come forth in war
Come forth in peace
Bring down the sun
Extinguish all the stars
Let me remain in splendor of thy light
As darkness bright
Found not in tongues
Found not in light
Bring down the rain
Drain waters of Styx
Faustian luminary
Redeem blaspheme
Like a day without the dawn
Like a ray void of the sun
Like a storm that brings no calm
I'm most complete yet so undone
Agathos Daimon of plague and fever
Thy name is nowhere, thy name is never
Liberate me
Ignite the seeds
Bind not to guilt
Ignis Gehennalis
Oh father, oh satan, oh sun
Let the children come to thee
Behold the morning star
Akephalos
Shine through me
Come forth in war
Come forth in peace
Like a day without the dawn
Like a ray void of the sun
Like a storm that brings no calm
I'm most complete yet so undone
O Lion-Serpent Sun, the beast that whirlest forth
A thunder-bolt, begetter of life
Thou that flowest, thou that goest
Thou Satan-Sun, Hadith, that goest without will
Thou air, breath, spirit, thou without bound or bond
Thou essence, air swift-streaming, elasticity
Thou wanderer, father of all
Thou wanderer, spirit of all
Hear me, and make all spirits subjects unto me
So that every spirit of the firmament and of the ether
Upon the earth and under the earth
On dry land and in the water of whirling air, and of rushing fire
And every spell and scourge of God
May be obedient unto me
Thou spiritual sun, satan, thou eye, thou lust
Cry aloud, cry aloud
Whirl the wheel, oh my father, oh satan, oh sun
The lyrics of Behemoth's song, "O Father O Satan O Sun!" depict the invocation of several deities by a worshipper. The worshipper calls upon Akephalos to shine through him and bring forth both war and peace. Akephalos, being a bornless one, is a being not found in tongues nor in light. The worshipper then goes on to ask Akephalos to bring down the rain and drain the waters of Styx while pleading with him to redeem blaspheme. The next verse sees a switch of deities as the worshipper calls upon Agathos Daimon, the spirit of plague and fever, to liberate him and ignite the seeds. The worshipper then beseeches Agathos Daimon to bind him not to guilt but to Ignis Gehennalis.
The chorus starts with the worshipper calling out to "Father, Satan, and Sun" to let the children come to them and behold the morning star. The worshipper again requests Akephalos to shine through him while asking him to bring forth both war and peace. The worshipper pleads for power from the Lion-Serpent Sun, the beast that begets life and flows everywhere without any bound or bond. The song invokes the spiritual sun and lust, asking for their power and to make all spirits obedient. The song concludes with a cry to whirl the wheel and call out to "Father, Satan, and Sun."

Whether on dry land or in the elements of water, air, or fire, all spirits shall bow to me
And every spell and scourge of God
And every holy or divine force meant to punish or condemn
May be obedient unto me
Shall come under my power and authority
Thou spiritual sun, satan, thou eye, thou lust
You are the spiritual sun, the embodiment of lust and desire
Cry aloud, cry aloud
Let your voice be heard throughout the heavens and the earth
Whirl the wheel, oh my father, oh satan, oh sun
Turn the wheel of fate and destiny, and let your power rule over all

Satanists think hell is loud music with cockain and orgies all day you're wrong.

(manager, high school, teacher....) that's just a small amount of hate (hate=satan) that's how bad it is in there. Don't get easily manipulated by him
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Revelation 13:18
Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.”

@@moonman908 You didn't understand this song because you're still in the Abrahamic paradigm. Why do you think you need to sacrifice anything for what is freely given to you?
The goat only refers to someone and also to another age. And it doesn't appear in the song but just in the video. It's a decoy to hide the message.
Think about the lyrics. The Sun, Satan the opposite and the father. What does this mean?
What is missing? What has been hidden for centuries? What has become a ghost in the religion that our enemies have imposed on us?
They tell us the father, the son and the Holy Spirit. But the spirit of what?
It is the mother. She is the one they took from us.
So we have Father Satan Sun.
And Mother Earth.
What happens then?
The magnetic and gravitational fields of the Sun and Earth interact. Their friction causes them to slow down and create matter. We also have the production of light and heat. This is how we were created.
This song explains it to you and at the end of the song we understand that everything is connected and that what is above is below. Which means that we too are creators.
"Spin the wheel", it means spin the main magnetic field of our souls to strengthen its power .
