Finland's Beherit (the Syriac name for Satan, incidentally) was spawned in 1989 by stunningly named vocalist/guitarist Nuclear Holocausto Vengeance. Along with bassist Black Jesus and drummer Sodomatic Slaughter, his express purpose was to perform the most primitive, roughshod, hell-obsessed black alloy imaginable (no Viking themes to be plant here). Clearly influenced by the dull, unrefined sonic standards heard on Bathory's early efforts, Beherit's heavily traded demo tapes provided the majority material for their 1991 debut,
The Oath of Black Blood. Arguably Finland's first fully fledged black alloy album, it preceded their by now far more legendary peers Impaled Nazarene by a class. Like other lo-fi black metallic element outfits, Beherit's commercial intractableness, terrorisation visuals, and outrageous live performances (including the occasional goat onstage) begat a small merely extremely dedicated cult following, which readily snapped up subsequent releases such as Werewolf, Semen and Blood, Messe diethylstilbesterol Morts, and
Drawing Down the Moon. 1994's enigmatic H418ov21.C inaugurated a altogether different phase for the set (now whittled down to a solitary Holocausto), characterized by the ambient synth collages of darkwave and leading to 1996's like Electric Doom Synthesis. Beherit restfully vanished presently thereafter, simply 1999's Beast of Beherit compilation was eventually released to commemorate the band's crucial contributions to the black metal field.
