If you are anything like myself, you don’t use the internet just to look at porn, new bongs, and to see how fucking awesome Behemoth’s new video is. You will know all about Crabcore, and how it’s the new “brutal” thing. The great guys from MetalSucks, first posted a video of the guitarist for Attack! Attack!’s latestt music video, Stick Stickly (I’m not going to link you to the video). Now, with that being said, I would like to appologize for Columbus, Ohio being known for the birthplace of “Crabcore”. Really, Ohio? Thanks for nothing.
Now this brings me to my next point in hand. This freakin’ sweet ass website, YourSceneSucks.com. Holy shit, it’s been awhile since my last visit. But I’m thankful that they have posted some new “scenes”. YouSceneSucks.com, has some pretty great stereo typical scenesters. So if you have some spare time besides trying to locate that last joint you hid in a sock, check it out.

An amalgamation of orchestral warm-up and the gateway to hell opening, the death riders known as Behemoth crawl out of the depths… “Hear the word of the lord!” he cries… the Dark Lord.
God I love Behemoth. Their ninth studio release Evangelion will be released upon the world August 11th and as I sit with it now, I imagine it will be one of 2009’s finest black metal achievements. (Although we apparently have a new Immortal album to look forward to – we’ll see who takes the reigns!) I’m a little thrown by the beginning of the first track, “Daimonos,” because it reminds me, a little too closely, of Misery Index’s “Ghosts of Catalonia.” However, as soon as the straight kicks, well, kick in, it turns right back into Behemoth.
I am a sucker for a slow, dark march, so “Ov Fire And The Void” is definitely one of the standout tracks. Behemoth have created a video for that song which will be released as part of a digi-pak that also includes a DVD of the trio in the studio working on Evangelion. I’m going to have to get my hands on that one…
“Transmigrating Beyond Realms Ov Amenti” is a typical Behemoth track, could have been found on The Apostasy. “He Who Breeds Pestilence,” “The Seed Ov I” and “Alas, Lord Is Upon Me” seem to swim together as a story-line trilogy. Of course, I can’t understand all of Nergal’s lyrics and since the Satan nerds don’t have access to the record yet to interpret and post them online, this is merely a feeling the three songs give to me. Of course, the last track on the record is “Lucifer” an 8-minute epic piece, full of slow, swelling guitar lines, sung entirely, I believe, in Polish. Well, at least it’s not English…
The doom and despair dispelled by Behemoth beckons me and once inside, I’m blanketed, like a fog taking over a great city… they make the darkness, the hidden-away-from-God places, seem romantic. Definitely powerful.
