Poland’s BEHEMOTH started their career playing black metal in the early ‘90s. The group’s early recordings were premiere raw, atmospheric black metal albums, earning the group a strong cult following. 1996’s “Grom” showed the group beginning to experiment with death metal. 1999's “Satanica,” saw the group shed their early necro black metal style for a full-on death metal sound in the tradition of satanic death metal bands like DEICIDE and MORBID ANGEL. This sound was the beginning of what we now know as BEHEMOTH. The group refined this style with each ensuing album before arriving at a sound that is uniquely of their own. With each album came more success and tours that brought the band more exposure. 2007 has proved to be the group’s most crucial year. Touring Ozzfest brought the group before the largest audiences of any previous tours. They also released their most lucrative album of their career, “The Apostasy” on Century Media Records. Currently, BEHEMOTH is touring the States as a co-headliner with JOB FOR A COWBOY with GOJIRA and BENEATH THE MASSACRE opening. Metal Centre caught up with BEHEMOTH bassist, Orion during their concert in San Antonio at the White Rabbit.
