Background information über 'Pandemonic Incantations'

Originally released in 1998, "Pandemonic Incantations" marked a crucial turning point in Behemoth's evolution from their early black metal roots into the more complex, aggressive fusion of black and death metal that would define their later work. With this third full-length, the Polish horde expanded both sonically and thematically, offering a darker, more layered sound while continuing to sharpen their lyrical focus on occultism, anti-dogma, and self-deification. The album showcases Behemoth at their most experimental yet, blending ferocious blast beats with atmospheric passages and incorporating elements that would later become signature aspects of their sound.

This expanded reissue features 7 bonus tracks, including the "Bewitching the Pomerania" EP and rare rough mixes that provide fascinating insight into the band's creative process. The package includes new cover art by Eliran Kantor, paying tribute to the original artwork while reimagining it through a contemporary lens. More than just a nostalgic trip, this reissue stands as a vital piece of extreme metal history, showcasing the moment when Behemoth began their transformation into one of extreme metal's most important acts.

For fans of: Emperor, Mayhem, Morbid Angel, Vader, and Dark Funeral
