Beherit

Beherit is a black metal band formed in 1990 in Turku, Finland. The band's original lineup consisted of vocalist Nuclear Holocausto, guitarist Cryptor, bassist Sodomatic Slaughter, and drummer Goat Perversion. Beherit's early material was characterized by its raw, primitive sound and Satanic lyrical themes, placing them firmly within the early Norwegian black metal scene. Their debut album, "The Oath of Death," released in 1991, is considered a seminal work of the genre.

Over their initial career, Beherit released several influential recordings, including "Unleashed Order of the Dark" and "Drawing Down the Moon." The latter album, released in 1993, saw a shift in their sound, incorporating more atmospheric elements and industrial influences, while still retaining their black metal core. This period is often cited as a creative peak for the band.

Beherit disbanded in 1994. However, Nuclear Holocausto resurrected the project in 2008. The reformed Beherit released the album "Engram" in 2009, which continued to explore their evolving sound, blending black metal with experimental and electronic textures. The band has since performed live and released further material, maintaining a distinct artistic identity within the black metal landscape. Their legacy is acknowledged for pushing the boundaries of the genre in its formative years.
