The Satanist is the tenth album by Polish extreme metal band Behemoth. The album was announced on 31 May 2013[4] and released on February 3, 2014. What really hits you hardest when you listen to this album is the dramatic change in the approach to song writing the band has adopted. Don’t go head first into it expecting the technical blackened death metal approach we have seen in the past, it appears this is a very different Behemoth then what we knew. Whereas before the band relied heavily on speed and complexity it is now blunt impact and atmosphere that drives the songs forward. Opening track 'Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel' showcases a rolling thunder cloud of a riff and declares that this is what Behemoth are all about now, the riffs. It also introduces Nergal’s slower more pronounced vocal approach as he declares the first line of the album 'I saw the virgin's cunt spawning forth the snake'. Lovely imagery.
Exclusive licensed edition for CIS countries. Golden CD with 24-pages booklet and logo sticker.
