Behemoth is a Polish blackened death metal band from Gda?sk, formed in 1991.
They are considered to have played an important role in establishing
the Polish extreme metal underground[1][2], alongside bands such as
Vader, Decapitated, Vesania and Hate.

Behemoth, 來自波蘭格但斯克的黑死金樂團, 成立於1991年；
在波蘭地下極端金屬樂的發展史上扮演重要的角色，
Vader, Decapitated, Vesania及Hate等樂團與他們具有相同的地位。

Until the late 1990s, the band played a traditional black metal style
with heathen lyrical content, but soon changed to that of occult
and thelemic themes written by their lead vocalist Nergal and
Krzysztof Azarewicz. With the 1999 release of Satanica, the band
showed their presence in the blackened death metal scene,
while retaining their own signature style characterized
by the drum work of Inferno, multi-layered vocals and
Nile-style Middle-Eastern influences.

Even though Behemoth has been labeled as death metal, black metal or
thrash influenced, Nergal has mentioned that he doesn't like the
band to be labeled.

直到90年代晚期，樂團曲風屬傳統黑金屬混合異教徒式的歌詞；
但很快地，主唱Nergal與Krzysztof Azarewicz將歌詞內容改為描寫
超自然及密教「泰勒瑪」。1999年發表專輯Satanica，
樂團表現出在黑死金屬的才華，Inferno的擊鼓，主唱多層次的嗓音與帶有
中東氣息的歌曲作品，讓樂團獨樹一格。

即使如此Behemoth仍被貼上死金、黑金或鞭擊金屬之流的標籤，
Nergal表示他不喜歡這樣被歸類。

History
Behemoth was formed in 1991 as a trio, with Nergal on guitar and vocals,
Baal on the drums, and Desecrator on the guitar. They started with black
metal demos, Endless Damnation, and The Return of the Northern Moon[5].
The most significant however, was the third demo—...From the Pagan
Vastlands (1993). This tape was released by Polish label Pagan Records
and later on by the American Wild Rags.
Their next release was Sventevith (Storming Near the Baltic) in 1995.
A year later, they recorded their second album Grom,
which was released in 1996. Grom features many different influences
and musical styles, using female vocals as well as acoustic guitars and
synthesizers. At the same time, Behemoth finally got a chance to play
live shows in its native country and finally tour around Europe, gaining
stage experience. Two years later, the band recorded a third album,
titled Pandemonic Incantations. The reactions of their increasing fanbase
and metal media set a new standard for them.[6] However, due to a lack
of promotion, the album was not well-publicized.
After another extensive tour, Behemoth signed a two-album deal with
Italy's Avantgarde Music in the fall of 1998. The first result of this new
collaboration was the successful[7] album Satanica, on which the black
metal sound had evolved into blackened death metal.

Behemoth, 於1991年成立的三重奏樂團，主唱兼吉他手Nergal，
鼓手Ball與吉他手Desecrator；他們開始錄製一些demo，
Endless Damnation, 與The Return of the Northern Moon；
然而最具代表性的是1993年第三張demo，...From the Pagan Vastlands；
此張音樂帶先由波蘭的Pagan Records發行，之後在美國由Wild Rags發行；
1995年發行Sventevith (Storming Near the Baltic)專輯；
1996年發表第二張專輯Grom；此張專輯包涵了許多元素與風格，
使用了女性主唱，木吉他和混音器；同時，樂團獲得在自己國家live
演出及歐洲巡迴的機會，增加舞台經驗；兩年後錄製第三張專輯
Pandemonic Incantations；專輯的反應帶來新的樂迷，
金屬音樂媒體也對樂團有了新的評價；然而缺少宣傳，
知道專輯的人並不多；經過幾次巡迴演出之後，1998年秋天樂團與
義大利Avantgarde Music簽下一只兩張專輯的合約；這只合約給Satanica，
這張聽起來已演變成黑死金的黑金專輯帶來成功。

The label also secured two European tours for the band in support of Deicide
and Satyricon respectively. During that period, Behemoth had to go through
some line-up changes and had problems with their ex-Polish label.
The new members then were Novy (formerly known from Devilyn,
now in Vader, Dies Irae), who handled the bass duties, and Havok, who became
the band's guitarist. The new line-up resulted in Behemoth signing with the Polish
label Mystic. The follow-up release to Satanica was Thelema.6. Massive guitar
parts and precise drumming, with influences from different sources, saw them
progress further towards[8][9] blackened death metal.

這次簽約的唱片公司還分別獲得了贊助Deicide與Satyricon樂團歐洲巡
迴的機會；在這段期間，Behemoth需要解決成員流動的問題，與前
唱片公司的糾紛；當時的新成員包涵貝斯手Novy(來自樂團Devilyn,
現在是Vader, Dies Irae的一員)，與吉他手Havok；新成員加入後
Behemoth與波蘭Mystic公司簽約；繼Satanica之後發行Thelema.6專輯；
大量的吉他與精準的擊鼓，並融合各種不同的元素，
讓他們的曲風更往黑死金屬發展。

Thelema.6 was supported by the worldwide press and media[10],
including official releases in Russia and Brazil for the first time.
Continuing the support for Thelema.6, Behemoth appeared in several
prestigious live events like Wacken Open Air, With Full Force, Inferno
Metal Festival, Mystic Festival, and Mind Over Matter Autumn.
They started first headlining tour alongside with Carpathian Forest and Khold,
followed by festival tour in Poland (Thrash em All Fest. with Vader and Krisiun,
among others).

Thelema.6發行後，受到各新聞媒體的報導，包涵官方在俄羅斯與巴西
的首次發行；隨著Thelema.6的好評，Behemoth受邀參加了幾個著名的
Live演出，例如Wacken Open Air, With Full Force, Inferno Metal Festival,
Mystic Festival, 以及Mind Over Matter Autumn；結束波蘭演唱會行程
( Thrash em All Fest，眾多參與樂團包涵Vader, Krisiun)後，開始首次以
Behemoth為主的巡迴，參與的樂團有Carpathian Forest 與Khold。

In 2001, Behemoth focused on writing new material for a sixth studio album.
Meantime, they completed their second headlining tour in Russia, Belarus and
Ukraine. Having completed the recording of their new songs, Behemoth
entered Hendrix Studio for the second time, with help of their friend and
sound engineer Arkadiusz Malczewski, and produced Zos Kia Cultus (Here and
Beyond).

2001年，Behemoth專注於為第六張專輯撰寫新的題材；
期間Behemoth結束兩場在白俄羅斯與烏克蘭的巡迴演出。
完成新歌的錄音之後，Behemoth再次來到Hendrix錄音室，
在音效工程師Arkadiusz Malczewski幫助之下進行
Zos Kia Cultus (Here and Beyond)的製作。

In February 2003, the band started their first tour in Norway, playing in cities
such as Bergen, Oslo and Stavanger. On March 11, 2003, the American
premiere, scheduled by Century Media Records, headlined Behemoth's
first appearance in the American continent. The tour started on the 9th of
March at the New Jersey's Metalfest and continued with a decent amount[11]
of shows across America and Canada, with the company of Deicide, Revenge,
Vehemence and Amon Amarth. Shortly after doing their first US tour the band
was invited to join the Blackest of the Black Tour by Glenn Danzig. The already
legendary festival included acts like Danzig, Superjoint Ritual, Nile, and Opeth.
In the fall of 2003, Behemoth flew over to US to complete their third tour with
Six Feet Under, Skinless and Black Dahlia Murder. The band then played at the
Tuska Festival in Finland with Ministry, Soulfly, among others. At that time,
due to some line up difficulties, Nergal parted his ways with Havok and Novy,
who decided to focus on activities with their own bands. Eventually, the band
resumed touring in the UK and Europe.

2003年2月，樂團首次在挪威卑爾根、奧斯陸與斯塔萬格舉辦巡迴；
2003年3月11日Century Media Records安排樂團在美國首演，
也是Behemoth在美洲大陸首次亮相；3月9日參加紐澤西Metalfest演出，
接下來同Deicide, Revenge, Vehemence與Amon Amarth樂團橫跨美國與加拿大
的演出中拿到一筆可觀的表演酬勞；結束美國巡迴，很快地樂團受到
Glenn Danzig邀請參加the Blackest of the Black巡迴，這個非常著名音樂節
有許多大咖參與，例如Danzig, Superjoint Ritual, Nile, and Opeth；2003年秋天，
樂團飛往美國與Six Feet Under, Skinless及Black Dahlia Murder完成第三次巡迴；
之後與Ministry, Soulfly等樂團在芬蘭Tuska Festival演出；當時樂團有一些
人事問題，Nergal與Havok, Novy拆夥，因為他們決定要專注於自己的樂團
活動；最後樂團還是繼續在英國與歐洲的巡迴。

In 2004, their seventh studio album, Demigod was released to good critical
response. Recorded at the Hendrix Studios, the album debuted at number
15 on the national Polish album charts. Music videos for the songs "Conquer All"
and "Slaves Shall Serve" were also shot. In fall 2005 the band headlined the
Demigod supremacy Canadian tour 2005 with Necronomicon.

Dew-Scented. Behemoth released their eighth studio album The Apostasy
in July of that year. It was recorded at Radio Gda?sk studio in December, 2006.
Shortly after the release of The Apostasy, the band was featured as one of
Ozzfest 2007's second stage headliners, one of the four non-US bands playing
that year. In October/November 2007, they played their first US headlining

團將在印度邦加羅爾Deccan Rock Festival音樂會演出。

Controversy
In July 2007 the All-Polish Committee for Defense Against Sects distributed a
list of bands that allegedly promote Satanism and murder to many Polish
officials. Critics of this policy primarily see this as a violation of free speech,
with the most scathing criticism generally emanating from within the metal
community. As of present, the list has not gone into effect, and Behemoth is
still allowed to play in Poland freely.

2007年7月，全波蘭議會的保守教義派發表一份樂團名單，
指稱這些樂團宣揚撒但主義與威脅殺害許多波蘭的官員；
大部分的批評者來自金屬樂社群，他們嚴厲抨擊，將此視為
違反言論自由；如預期，此名單沒有什麼作用，
Behemoth仍允許在波蘭境內表演。
