About Rising Phoenix Music

Welcome to Rising Phoenix Music, a blog that's not so one-sided and biased, but has a variety of music that could suit the different tastes of others. I post and review heavy, brutal, loud, soft, relaxing, chill, and experimental music, so look through my archives, we might just have what you're looking for. I made this blog for the sake of these artists--new and old--to share my opinion on their music, and to tell you why I like it and why you might like it too! The artists and albums I post here all deserve to be known, praised, and remembered. I simply want to promote a vast variety of good music and to help out the bands and artists that deserve your attention, not piracy and stealing to deprive these bands of their income. I also believe that you cannot fully judge a band or musician until you have heard most of their material completely, which is why the albums are up for download. I urge you to buy the albums, buy their merchandise, go see them live (if they're still together) and support them!

Behemoth - The Apostasy


Album:
The Apostasy
Genre:
Death Metal
Year: 2007
MySpace
Download Here

1. Rome 64 C.E.
2. Slaying The Prophets Ov Isa
3. Prometherion
4. At The Left Hand Ov God
5. Kriegsphilosophie
6. Be Without Fear
7. Arcana Hereticae
8. Libertheme
9. Inner Sanctum
10. Pazuzu
11. Christgrinding Avenue

The Apostasy is Behemoth's most recent album and their eighth studio release. I have seen these guys live three times, the last time was their tour in support of this album. Let me tell you, these guys really know how to put on a show and I enjoyed seeing some of the new material performed. I cheered so loud when Nergal brought a giant Holy Bible on stage, gave a very heretical, religious emancipation speech, began tearing pages from it, and then threw it in the crowd where the rest was torn to shreds. Also, Inferno did a pretty sick drum solo. Hails to you, Behemoth!

Behemoth - Demigod


Album:
Demigod
Genre:
Death Metal
Year: 2004
MySpace
Download Here

1. Sculpting the Throne Ov Seth
2. Demigod
3. Conquer All
4. The Nephilim Rising
5. Towards Babylon
6. Before the Æons Came
7. Mysterium Coniunctionis (Hermanubis)
8. XUL
9. Slaves Shall Serve
10. The Reign Ov Shemsu-Hor

Demigod is Behemoth's seventh studio album and my personal favourite. Every song is fucking awesome and Inferno's drumming is godly in speed. I love Nergal's lyrics and the themes behind this album, most of which are drawn from ancient Mesopotamian mythology and symbolism. The Reign Of Shemsu-Hor is one of my most favourite songs ever... it's so fucking epic. Demigod is an amazing album and I never get tired of listening to it. Buy it.

Behemoth - Zos Kia Cultus (Here And Beyond)


Album:
Zos Kia Cultus (Here And Beyond)
Genre:
Death Metal
Year: 2002
MySpace
Download Here

1. Horns Ov Baphomet
2. Modern Iconoclasts
3. Here And Beyond (Titanic Turn Of Time)
4. As Above So Below
5. Blackest Ov The Black
6. Hekau 718
7. The Harlot Ov The Saints
8. No Sympathy For Fools
9. Zos Kia Cultus
10. Fornicatus Benefictus
11. Typhonian Soul Zodiack
12. Heru Ra Ha: Let There Be Might

Behemoth's sixth album, Zos Kia Cultus (Here And Beyond), is pretty damn evil. I liked the fact that this album was longer than their previous releases. Inferno's drumming is, of course insane... and Nergal's lyrics are as cool as ever. All in all, a good and heavy album.

Behemoth - Satanica


Album:
Satanica
Genre:
Death Metal/Black Metal
Year: 1999
MySpace
Download Here

1. Decade Of Therion
2. LAM
3. Ceremony Of Shiva
4. Of Sephirotic Transformation And Carnality
5. The Sermon To The Hypocrites
6. Starspawn
7. The Alchemist's Dream
8. Chant For Eschaton 2000

Satanica is Behemoth's fourth album and pretty much the album that the transition from their Black Metal to Death Metal sound began to be heard. It's a sick album and it will definitely keep you awake. Hail Satan...

Behemoth - Thelema.6


Album:
Thelema.6
Genre:
Death Metal
Year: 2000
MySpace
Download Here

1. Antichristian Phenomenon
2. The Act Of Rebellion
3. Inflamed With Rage
4. Pan Satyros
5. Natural Born Philosopher
6. Christians To The Lions
7. Inauguration Of Scorpio Dome
8. In The Garden Of Dispersion
9. The Universe Illumination (Say "Hello" To My Demons)
10. Vinum Sabbati
11. 23 (The Youth Manifesto)
12. The End

I would say that Thelema .6 is the album where Behemoth completely changed into straight up Death Metal (although you can hear the changes begin with Satanica). I do like Behemoth's Black Metal material, but not nearly as much as I like their Death Metal material. Thelema .6 is a good album, bearing classic anti-religious anthems, such as Antichristian Phenomenon and Christians To The Lions (both are sick to see performed live). Get this album and hail Satan! (That was a joke.)
