I agree Engram was their best release, great riffs and guitar tone.
Best album ever indeed !!
'Drawing Down the Moon' LP :One of the best metal albums ever! Great albums released in Finland in 1993, with Beherit, Belial, Sentenced, Unholy, Demigod..
Love Beherit though mostly only for Oath of Black Blood and Drawing Down the Moon, although Engram is a great album and their last dark ambient one was quite good. But even just for the first 2 they have immortality in black metal in my opinion, huge albums for me in my life.
Celebrate the dead is great release to me!
Agreed. Took black metal to a new era. Unfortunately nobody has followed it. Maybe someday.
The Best of Beherit
Electriс Doom Synthesis is my favorite dark ambient album of all time. I can listen to it anytime; it never disappoints.
Seems like there are very few of us worshipping this album.
This is funny because I don't even consider it dark ambient. And even if I did, I wouldn't put it in my top 50. I prefer even darker type. Bardo Exist is IMO a lot better, but even that is not as good as Suuri shamaani (since we're talking about Holocausto here).
Suuri shamaani album is masterpiece!@@RautaMetal
Drawing down the moon...black metal masterpiece.
Different and unique🖤
Personally, Beherit were more important for their transcendance into Dark Electronic than their pioneering Metal albums. I liked them on Drawing Down the Moon but truly got into them with Electric Doom Synthesis.
I can totally understand that!
I love Drawing, Engram and Electric Doom. I just wish they did more good metal albums. Messe des morts should have been a full length.
First track off Engram is 10/10, but my all time favorite is Dawn of Satan’s Millennium. I feel like that is the true Beherit sound, the vocals are killer
I am happy to hear Engram being talked about. Beherit is a strange one because you want to love the band of the representation of Finland but on a musical standpoint, it can disappoint people.
Precisely
If you crank the bass in my car to full and put "Engram" on loud my car rumbles big time.
Everything cranks except my vinyl for that, for whatever reason
That 2009 album was Fantastic
I actually remember buying the
Album in 2011 at HMV.
(Too bad they closed down)
Your videos are cool.
Thanks for making them.
Thanks for your words. Glad you like the vids.
That "business not meaning money" remark really cracked me up! 😂
Heh!
Drawing down the moon..
Drawing Down the Moon is a KVLT !!!
I have a copy of the 1991 tape, "Down There," by The Lord Diabolus -Beherit under a different name.
I mainly prefer The Oath and Drawing Down, but enjoyed Engram. Thought Bardo Exist was a step down from Electric Doom Synthesis and H418ov21c. Havent listened to WBRRR. Overall a good discography with a little bit of something for everyone, and i think Beherit demonstrates just how creative, and dynamic black metal as a genre can really be. You touched on this a little when discussing Beherit's genre switch, but one topic about Finnish black metal history that i dont see talked about was the beef between the Polish scene, and the Finnish scene (Impaled Nazarene i think being the main offender). I tried talking to Karcharoth of Infernum about this period when he was alive, but his response was more or less, "those were dark times and i prefer to forget about them." I believe the beef was over tape trading, and, "not being true". Nowadays the idea of this beef is silly, and we all consider Beherit is kvlt, etc etc.
I'm with you on Engram. The second and the third albums are somewhat hit & miss but I really like "Bardo Exists" and "WBRRR", they're solid albums in their own genre, I'd argue that the latter is even better and more consistent than the former.
Personally, I think they are one of the most over rated BM bands out there. I have tried and tried, but to be honest I cannot for the life of me see anything good about them.
Maybe it's more about their impact on the genre? I think they were great for their age, and certainly gave their spin on some things.
Rauta paradox is that all bands are overrated and underrated at the same time. It's the answer that varies by each person.
"Drawing down..." sounds good. I also like the first two purely electronic LPs. The rest bores me, to be honest.
That's always subjective with each and every listener. Personally that band for me, is Dissection. I have tried over and over, since their first record. Nothing about them was exciting or special to me.
@@infernusrex796 Dissection isn't for me either: death metal with a little melody and average-sounding vocals. Doesn't convince me. At least not in this case.
No offense to the guys, Finland is my all time favorite country when it comes to Black Metal, but Beherit is boring and straight bad in comparison to the big names from the scene. I won't even start listing all the bands that surpass them from your country. Like some "cult" names from the Norwegian scene, the only advantage of Beherit is that they have started at the right time in the right place so they've gotten recognition and status. Finland has produced so many more better bands that I'd never waste my time listening to this one.
I will talk about those other bands in my Original Finnish Black Metal series which I will start later this month. But this video is solely about Beherit, nothing more, nothing less.
@@RautaMetal You have a LOT to cover. You will talk about both 90s and current scene, right?
Beherit are very avant-garde so I can see why you might not like them
@@RichardCranium. Quite possible, as I never managed to like a single band that has that label in their genre description.
Yeah, still does not mean it is not good though. But not everyone can like every influential or good band. Though I am not sure if you like Blasphemy and Archgoat. Who have similarities with Beherit except they are not avant-garde
