Background information about 'And The Forests Dream Eternally'

Polish extreme metal titans Behemoth deliver a haunting collection that bridges their early atmospheric black metal roots with their later death metal evolution. "And The Forests Dream Eternally" captures the band during their most mystical period, when Nergal's vision was deeply rooted in Slavic paganism and occult atmospherics. The original studio tracks showcase the raw, hypnotic power that would later cement Behemoth's reputation as one of extreme metal's most formidable forces.

This special release goes beyond the studio material, offering a treasure trove of live performances and rare recordings that span over two decades of the band's evolution. From the atmospheric "Transylvanian Forest" captured at various festivals to the primitive fury of early rehearsal sessions, this collection provides an intimate look at Behemoth's artistic journey. The inclusion of preproduction recordings from Studio "7" in 1993 offers particularly fascinating insight into the band's creative process during their formative years, making this an essential piece for anyone seeking to understand the full scope of their musical evolution.

For fans of: Darkthrone, Emperor, Mayhem, Immortal, and Marduk
