Tej kapeli nikomu przedstawiać nie trzeba. Założony w '91 roku w Gdańsku zespół Behemoth obecnie jest obok Vader najbardziej rozpoznawalną na świecie polską kapelą metalową i w sumie nie ma się co dziwić. Zaczynali od grania black metalu w norweskim stylu, zasłuchani byli w twórczości Enslaved, Immortal, Darkthrone czy Mayhem, by potem z czasem zacząć swoją twórczość przeobrażać w hybrydę black/death metalową, a następnie udoskonalać tą formułę. Moim zdaniem czynią to z powodzeniem, a ciężką pracą wyrobili sobie markę i dorobili się tak znanego statusu. Jedni uwielbiają, inni nienawidzą. Co do samych muzyków i przede wszystkim "kierownika" Nergala można mieć różne uwagi, ale sama twórczość zespołu moim zdaniem zasługuje na pochwałę.
Aha jeszcze jedno dodam - moim zdaniem temat powinien być umieszczony w dziale black metal, gdyż mimo że kapela dość mocno gra na death metalową nutę, ale dla mnie (i dla samych twórców również) pozostaje black metalem po prostu z przewagą death metalowych riffów, dalej na satanistycznym podłożu.
