History
Early 1990 tapes of the band were the likes of Seventh Blasphemy,
Demonomancy, Dawn Of Satan's Millennium and Diabolus. Much like
countrymen Impaled Nazarene, Beherit, in its early guise, was one of
the
most Satanic and controversial bands on the scene. Rumours of sacrifice
and the band playing live with its back to the audience, etc. were fed
to
the public. The sound was extremy harsh, raw and the attitude made
Morbid Angel look downright friendly. The band's debut was nothing more
than a compilation of the band's demos and one which Beherit claimed
was
unauthorized. Furthermore, Beherit claimed that at that time Turbo sent
the band $100 to record a second album! The band was joined in 1992 by
the former drummer of Impaled Nazarene and several of the live songs
froms this era were on the Beast Of Beherit album.Still, as the album
names demonstrate, the band became ever more experimental and the fans
and the band soon disappeared. Judging by the names and sound, the band
might have harboured some Blasphemy influence. The last two albums were
electronic pieces. Suuri Shamaaniwas an ambient band.
The Beherit/Archgoat split was reissued by ISO666 on CD in 2004.
