By 2006, Behemoth had already left their raw black metal origins somewhere in the Polish forests and were well on their way to becoming one of the most theatrically devastating acts in extreme metal. Demonica exists as a document of that transition, a double disc that pulls from their early Beherit-worshipping years through to the crushing blackened death assault they'd fully realise on Demigod.Disc one compiles the best of their earlier black metal material while disc two digs into the death metal era, giving you the full arc in one package. If you've only heard Nergal hold court on The Satanist, this is the education. It's chaotic, it's cold, it's occasionally ugly in the best possible way, and it documents a band still carving their identity out of something genuinely extreme. Essential context for anyone serious about the Polish black and death metal underground.2006 compilation release on 2CD. Polish black/death metal. Import.Fans of: Vader, Marduk, Rotting Christ, Dimmu Borgir, Nile, Krisiun, Septicflesh
