And the Forests Dream Eternally
It's often been said that Slayer's music is the "perfect soundtrack for entering hell," and upon hearing one of Behemoth's first-ever releases, And the Forests Dream Eternally (reissued in 2006), the same could be said about this Polish death metal band. When you hear the phrase death metal, you pretty much know what's in store -- growled vocals, metronome drumming, amphetamine-like guitar riffs, horror movie-like lyrics, Satanic song titles, ghoulish make-up and attire.
