The tenth full-length album by the cult Polish Black/Death Metal band.
Given that "The Satanist" is not only the first album by Polish firebrands Behemoth in five years but also their first since frontman Nergal was diagnosed with leukemia in 2010, you might expect them to be restless at the start, to burst open in a characteristic tangle of Extreme Metal. But they begin slowly, a sinister riff cutting patiently through open air. The drums march rather than maraud, while the bass pads the pocket. It feels like the preamble of a classic Rock anthem, perhaps the sequel to “Hells Bells”. But really, Behemoth want to make sure you can hear Nergal and understand him when he opens with purely heretic invective. Rather than emerge as though they have something to prove through speed and precision, one of Heavy Metal’s most popular bands elects to return with something to say that’s as vile and startling as most any moment in their previously impious two decades. Even the precipice of death, Nergal implies, didn’t soften his sacrilege. "The Satanist" in many ways reflects a synthesis of their stepwise, two-decade journey between atavistic Black Metal, expert Death Metal and a mid-career hybrid of the two. "The Satanist" doesn’t give up on high-end recording; in fact, with its occasional exultant choirs, horn fanfares, and acoustic interludes, it’s a complex and deliberate affair. This time, the sheen only highlights what’s beneath the surface, revealing these songs’ eccentricities and thrills rather than buffing them out.
Nergal is careful to stretch his style sheet of references beyond the Devil and Christ; he folds Latin and Coptic concepts into these lines, even nodding to John Milton in one passing moment. There was some doubt, after all, if Nergal would even live long enough to make another album. And there was certainly more doubt than hope that, if Behemoth did finish a tenth record, it would stand somehow as a late-career renaissance. But "The Satanist" is a terrific coil of most everything Behemoth have ever done well, a strangely hopeful vision of hell wrested away from its very grip. A vital, crushing monster of an album, it feels as though the band is digging deep here, tapping into hidden reserves of infernal power to deliver an album of profane and powerful sonic destruction! Behemoth sound revitalized and ready to destroy everything that stands in their path, and fans should be ready to either go along for the ride or be crushed!!

The fourth re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary Polish Black Metal band.
The second release in the Slavonic Trilogy reissue series.
Once upon a time, Behemoth played under-produced and mediocre Black Metal before venturing where their hearts told them. Behemoth’s debut is a very good and rock solid album. It’s always had just the sound of Black Metal, and it finds the right moments to establish Black Metal scenery other than derived repetition. Behemoth decided to move forward into death metal with an interest in Sumerian gods and demons. The genre has changed, but you can spot the fascination in war and evil here too, and the ambition is very apparent. The album is completely memorable, with a style of their own the compositions manage to not be repetitive; it reaches and makes a unique and mature sound. Songs like “Hidden in a Fog”, “Entering the Faustian Soul” or “Hell Dwells in Ice” are undoubtedly the highlights of the album, but without taking merit away from the rest of the songs. Behemoth manages to be melodic, heavy, and atmospheric at different parts in the same composition, and they achieve this with the use of very few resources since they use the same ones throughout the whole album without it getting boring or repetitive. “Sventevith (Storming Near The Baltic)” delivers promising songs, but the band didn’t deliver their best, so their album ends up being a mere introduction to audiences to their first era.
Metal Blade Records has reissued the album, which includes a second disc of bonus tracks with four unreleased studio tracks and seven live tracks. Those just familiar with their more modern works, (anything from 1999 and onward, for sake of clarity), will find quite a different beast with this debut album.
Limited to 300 copies exclusive for UK market, Deluxe Edition 180-gram Double Brown Black Marbled Vinyl in gatefold cover with updated artwork and embossed gold print includes 24-page booklet with lyrics, interviews, vintage photos, as well as Download Card. Bonus disc contains 11 rarities (unreleased and live tracks).
