Beherit

Finnish black metal band

Beherit is a Finnish band known for their contribution to the early black metal scene. Formed in 1989 by Nuclear Holocausto (Marko Laiho), Daemon Fornication, and Sodomatic Slaughter (Jari Pirinen), the band quickly became notorious for their raw and primitive sound. Their debut album, "The Oath of Black Blood," which was released in 1991, is often cited as a significant early example of black metal. Beherit's music evolved over time, incorporating elements of dark ambient and experimental noise, particularly evident in their 1993 album "Drawing Down the Moon," which is considered a classic in the genre. After a period of inactivity, Beherit re-emerged with new material in the late 2000s. Throughout their career, they have maintained a cult following and are respected for their influential role in shaping the sound and aesthetic of black metal.
