BEHEMOTH · Grom (Metal Blade) | BLACK 2LP

Black double vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

Background information about 'Grom (Metal Blade)'

Polish extreme metal legends Behemoth deliver a raw and uncompromising journey into the depths of blackened fury with "Grom". This album showcases the band's early exploration of atmospheric black metal territories, featuring haunting melodies intertwined with brutal aggression that would later define their signature sound. The record captures Nergal and his crew during a pivotal moment in their evolution, where pagan themes and occult mysticism blend seamlessly with crushing riffs and blast-beat driven compositions.

The expanded edition includes fascinating bonus material that provides insight into Behemoth's formative years, featuring covers of iconic tracks by Mayhem, Destruction, and Polish metal pioneers Kat. Live recordings from the Pagan Triumph Tour 1996 and rehearsal sessions offer a glimpse into the band's raw energy and dedication to their craft. These additional tracks demonstrate how Behemoth was already pushing boundaries and paying homage to their influences while carving out their own distinctive path in the extreme metal landscape.

For fans of: Mayhem, Emperor, Darkthrone, Immortal, and early Satyricon
