So Behemoth finally drops a new song and I couldn't be more excited. To me this track is an evolution of the band's sound further. To some, they think the song was a disappointment. To others it was just a mash up of Evangelion and The Satanist and rehashed material. To them I say, FUCK YOU!
There are a lot of layers to this track. One of the key points I feel is Nergal's voice. On the Satanist, there was this fire in his shouts and growls. Way more anger and a demand for him to be heard. The thing I do like about his vocal stylings is that he really does sound more evil than ever and he isn't relying on a ton of over dubs. This is deeper then that.
Next key point is Inferno. His drumming is too notch and honestly, he makes little things go a long way. His use of the snare roll to be precursor to chaos was amazing to me. A simple roll equates such a huge part. It was like I told a buddy of mine, "he's controlling chaos". One little roll and boom! Blasting at the speed of light. It's just awesome.
Seth's moody lead, albeit short and sweet it was really a great touch. I know we'll hear way more from him and Nergal when the album is released. I also really liked the way they used the boys choir. It wasn't the usual scary eerie little kids singing a song but the fact that they were shouting the Prayer and denouncing Jesus Christ was just nuts. People will be bothered and others will hate it. But seriously, who else has the balls to do that?? I'll wait...still nothing?...ok....time's up.
I loved at your Darkest is released on
