For all of Behemoth’s Satanic imagery, real life was scarier: in 2010, sole original member Adam “Nergal” Darski got diagnosed with leukemia. He beat it after a harrowing course of treatment. While not directly inspired by that experience, album number 10 certainly contains a renewed zest for life and brought the long-running and respected Polish act to the next level. Complex, serpentine structures and cleaner drumming opened up their sound, Nergal no longer content to serve black metal’s orthodox masters.”Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel” and the demonic “Kashmir” inversion “O Father O Satan O Sun!” bookend the record with two of the genre’s most blasphemous bursts of bombast.
