Artist Bio:
Extreme metal band formed in 1991 in Gdańsk, Poland.
Began as a black metal band and transitioned into more of a blackened death metal band.

It was in 1991 that Behemoth was formed (initially as Baphomet) by frontman Nergal (Holocausto at that time). They released a few demos: "Endless Damnation" (1992), "The Return Of The Northern Moon" (1993) and "From The Pagan Vastlands" (1993), the latter being the material that really showed what they wanted. They signed with an Italian label Entropy Productions and released their debut mini-album entitled "And The Forests Dream Eternally" in 1994. A year later they recorded their first full-length "Sventevith (Storming Near The Baltic)".
