[@emmurewashburn]

Its crazy that Nergal was diagnosed with Leukemia during this album ....he beat it and came back more evil than ever.

[@jamesrodolfo8068]

I know its crazy its because Satan wanted him to create The Satanist album lol

[@emmurewashburn]

Ikr!! Behemoth will always b my favorite band because their style is like no others..plus they're nice guys as well.

[@emmurewashburn]

LMAO...he was never evil...I hear ya

[@jamesrodolfo8068]

I know dude one of my favorite bands too im really hyped for their new album this year!!!

[@emmurewashburn]

James Rodolfo me too bro...counting down the days!!!

[@davidcarducci1097]

The serpent coiled beneath his throne is the kudalani serpent. Nergal's not saying the devil is beneath him, he's saying the energy within him is of the devil. Behemoth's older work has a lot more references to Hinduism and tends to have little to do with mainstream Christianity.

[@VinAndSori]

Ya he mentions “kali” which is a Hindu term isn’t it ?

[@orokusakirecords]

VinAnd Sori Hindu Goddess

[@tarunkurudi8191]

Some say Kali is god of death

[@IntergalacticApeMan]

Afaik any Hindu god can be addressed in any way. It is said, that the dark way can be very powerfull quickly, but doesn't bring your soul further on its path like the pure way. As your spirit is getting older and wiser, it is going to feel an urge to advance to a higher form of beeing.

[@フレドリク]

Wait. They formed in 1992 and you call a song from 2007 "their older work"? Wow.

[@samdoo1433]

Ahh good, back to where I originally subscribed to this channel

[@sammyalx6978]

Aye

[@seanritchie91]

Really? I personally love the million and one Metallica videos they’ve done. Such an under-appreciated band they should do more.

[@Drewskadooed]

ive been waiting for you guys to do this reaction since you started. Ive been listening to behemoth for many years and you guys break down the lyrics so well. Its cool to get an intelligent christian perspective. Thanks Vin and Sori!!!

[@mokhron]

Drewskadooed Me too, I am solely here for these great „Black Fire“ episodes. But I understand and sympathize with vin and sori in that they are trying to make as many people happy as they can. Also, this is probably not their favorite genre, so I‘m thankful for what we get .. even if it‘s just one video a month.

[@mokhron]

Drewskadooed Oh, sorry... I answered to the wrong comment :( . But I agree to what you‘re saying, as well.

[@thejam1212]

Architects - A Match Made in Heaven. Awesome U.K band that sadly recently lost their guitarist to cancer. Love your reactions as always

[@TheRubeoHagrid]

You should also check out Behemoth's "Slaying The Prophets Ov Isa" (before the actual song, there's an intro called Rome 64 c.E)

[@Iconoclastithon]

He's not a misogyiist nor his expression misogynistic, nor talking about sublimating women as lesser than. not fully and properly contextualized and understood. He's talking about males and females natures{which are objectively different, through evolution and bilogy and psychology; different but equal} working together co-operatively-in harmony. The "harlot of the saints/mother whore" is in referance to Babalon- who in occultology is a goddess -whore/harlot refers to the feminine nature- a metaphor about such{feminine nature; in jungian archetypalism; being OPEN- or RECEPTIVE, open minded, nurturing, and strong in her individual ways}- a play on jungian archetypes. }. Both female empowerment and male empowerment- culminating in INDIVIDUAL empowerment. You have to understand what the occult symbolism means to get it. By "restriction" he/they[and the lhp ideas] is referring to authoritarian and "mob"{as in angry controlling mobs- and their repression and witch hunts} IMPOSITION by force. Not against "restriction" per-se; you will find that he and other satanists and LHPers are all for self-control or self-dicipline{a form of restrinction; learned and aquired restriction; in other words controlling ones own actions and taking personal responsibility for such and being aware that other indivduals are capable of and should do the same- so we can live peaceably}. "Oh snake thou art god coiled underneath my throne" - he's talking about kundalini yoga and the chakras- represented by a serpent in symbolism{not the devil- in the sense of the christian or muslim devil character}. Qabbalah, hindu yogism and buddhist meditations,etc. Nergals Satanism is mostly for shock value. Nergal and Behemoth are better interpereted and understood as "chaote occultists" influenced by several diffferent, intercoonected types or strands of occultism and paganism; Satanism but evenmoreso gnostic Luciferianism and even more than that= Aleister Crowleys "Thelema"{which technically is a Right Hand Path-in theory, more a middle path in practice}, qabbalah, egyptian and sumerian/babylonian mytho-poetic referances, and just traditional paganisms as well, and the western enlightenment, amongst other influences. Basically he/they are about the concept of balancing out of and unification of opposites{for example when he sings 'wandering neither way of light nor darkness, which seed sprouts in summer of my life"; basically balancing out and unifying these two seemingly opposite principles andother seemingly opposite principles; the understanding that opposites define, refine, and perfect each other}. In other of their songs you will find allusions to divinity and God in a more positive sense- when they refer to this they are basically infering to the Deistic and/or Pantheistic notions of God/the divine. They use satan and lucifer and "devil/demon" as symbols to refer to aspects of the divine/God{as they also will sometimes refer to the more angelic/light side notions of the divine/God}-or to symbolize aspects of the self{but will also refer to the angelic, divine, and light to refer to aspects of the self; again with the unification of opposites/balance}. It's easy to understand if you study occultology deeply and also various other spiritual and religious and philosophical traditions apart from the abrahamic alone. If you do not- you will not properly understand it and may in fact misunderstand and misrepresent what they are talking about. Which is understandable, as even some LHP-ists and some atheists and some rationalists will make the same error of misjudging religions or RHP or christianity and/or abrahamic and revealed religions,etc. One must deeply research ALL{as wel as philosophy and science, and various other fields} t grasp and comprehend the bigger picture and the balance

[@БълхатаНаКоткатаНаНикиБанков]

Cradle Of Filth - Cruelty Brought The Orchids

[@benwebb4424]

Time to write a novel of a response. Going to number each of the points so if you respond you can toss a number in so I know what you're talking about. 1. First thing, misogynistic sentiments in black metal? Nope. Sexual expression in art? Yup. That is how they get away with it. When Nergal sings about big floppy crimson dragon titties or whatever, it's not different than Madonna singing Expressing Yourself. It's art, and censoring it is dumb. IF what he is saying is truly misogynistic let people complain about it, but let him continue performing and writing. Art is about expressing, and telling people what they can and can't express will be the death of art. You don't have to like it, but there is plenty of art I don't like the message of that I have no problem with existing. 2. if you think women don't benefit from pulling back the restraints on sexuality than you're underselling women. What about the women who feel empowered by sexuality? What about the women who need an outlet for their sexuality? Keeping restraints in place is oppressing those women. Restraining sexuality is oppressive to women. 3. The bible isn't sexist, but paganism is? So women willingly choosing to be prostitutes is bad for women apparently. Meanwhile women should submit to their husband (Peter 3), women should be discrete, chaste, home keepers (Titus 2), women not being allowed to teach men (Timothy 2:12), and women shouldn't speak in church (1st Corinthians 14:34) is totally not sexist. Consenting prostitution bad, telling women to shut up and keep the home good. Got it. 4. My main gripe with Satanism is that rebellion for the sake of rebellion is childish at best, destructive at worst. Rebellion for protest can be quite fruitful. We can both agree that the biblical Satan is a bad guy. However, I think the biblical God is a worse guy. Choosing Satan over God is akin to choosing Castro over Hitler. The correct choice is fuck both of them and conquer the world on your own terms. Why choose the left hand path or the right hand path when you can plop your kingdom in any spot you want it to be? 5. Would I rather my daughter be a whore or be saintly? I don't have a daughter, but if I did my answer would still be the same. I wouldn't care. I wouldn't care if she chose to be a whore because it's her life. What I would care about is for her to have the ability to make that choice on her own. To have the societal freedom to achieve being what it is she wants to be without bigots like you ruining her life. 6. If you think my masculinity is toxic it's because your femininity is frail.

[@dirkdiggler6316]

Ben Webb “6” isn’t femininity innately frail? And overt masculinity is toxic as is overt feminism.

[@dirkdiggler6316]

Ben Webb “1” I feel like your objection that black metal isn’t misogynistic stems from your desperate need to be against the grain for the sake of offense.

[@VinAndSori]

since you refuse to have an actual dialogue on the topic I guess we'll have to communicate in this forum. 1. I know it's expression. I never said a word about censoring it. I did however wonder aloud about the hypocrisy of our culture that allows terminology like this to be used about women but would get you a black eye if used in actual parlance. furthermore, I do think it's an expression about a certain subculture and I was pointing that out bc it functions to damn itself without further commentary. 2. I live in the real world. I know that the ideal is to pretend that men and women operate and experience sexuality in the same way, it's been unequivocally proven that we do not. so this has implications in the real world not the ideal world. 3. much like my friend Aron ra, you quoted a bunch of texts but provide no context for any of them. You haven't demonstrated any familiarity or conversance with the cultural millieu of the author or the audience, or the point of what he was getting at so there isn't much to comment on here 4. the fact that you can make such a metaphor means you don't know the god of the Bible. not much to say there 5. you don't have a daughter, so you're speaking from your ideal. and as far as ruining lives. we've actually worked with women in the sex industry. we've cried with them when their babies are taken by the state. we've also visited them in the hospital and prayed for miracles when they OD'd on drugs bc they couldn't deal with the hell those lifestyle "choices" brought on them. We've also seen them shoved into abortion clinics by pimps. the fact that you speak about sex work as if its just another career choice proves you don't know the first thing about what a ruined life looks like, or why the vast majority of the women in world history and around the globe currently "choose" that career 6. there is such a thing as toxic masculinity, but from what I've seen from you, I don't think anyone would label you that at all. you were the one that seemed to have an issue with my masculinity lol. I think this would be a good fireside discussion. anytime you're willing ben, we're here.

[@benwebb4424]

I would argue that femininity isn't innately frail. I can think of a lot of strong women who exude femininity. As for overt masculinity and overt feminism, I am inclined to disagree but I have no solid opinion one way or the other. However, I am currently of the opinion that the freedom to be overtly masculine is more important than if being overtly masculine hurts the feelings of a few people. Here''s the thing - if you don't like someone you don't have to deal with them. Might be a big shock to some people but people like different things. Some men are hyper masculine, some women like hyper masculinity. Some women don't like hyper masculinity. Is one group more important than the other? I'd say no. Live and let live.

[@SimonH109]

Afgrundsvisioner this or Absission would be great

[@Afgrundsvisioner]

Simon Harris Agreed. Abscission is interesting too. I wanted to recommend a song from Fas, but it would require them a deep knowledge of Bataille’s writings to understand some of the concepts on the album and I don’t expect none Francophones to be familiar with him.

[@bmfan]

Bataille is imperative to understanding really all Deathspell Omega, Fas especially certainly. I'm still hoping for Sola Fide II, but Wings of Predation or Abscission would be good, just I'm worried about the lyrical analysis without the proper context.

[@Arzharkhel]

Yes! Or any other Deathspell Omega song for that matter.

[@jeremybishop1623]

I’ve always seen the left and right hand (7:00 about) as the strong hand and the clever hand, as in music where the right hand is typically doing the mare strength and endurance task of strumming/picking while the left hand does the more precise and dexterous work of fretting. I was thinking this could be construed of a path of deception and trickery on the left and straightforward strength on the right in Christian theology

[@tylerbrass4002]

I consider myself a Christian, I believe, and I pray. When I was younger I got into a lot of crime, and drugs, and since I got out of that life, I have been committed to the idea of leaving this world, knowing, that I left more positivity than I did negativity. For a while, my love for metal, especially bands like this, and anything sacrilegious in music in general, gave me a lot of reservations when listening to/enjoying it. But as I grew, and prayed, I came to realize that My choice in music doesn't really affect my mind, and my heart at all, and I think God understands that, and gave me the free will, and intelligence to explore ideas which may be contrary to the way of the Lord, if he wanted us to mindlessly obey, I dont think he would have given us that. That intelligence and free will allows me to overcome these things in my own heart, and to be confident in God's power and respect Man's knowledge, and achievements as well.

[@FRAYHOLE501]

Its about the POWER you receive from the music nothing more !!..

[@notcreativeside]

Have you heard Nergal's folk/blues/county/rock/something side project, Me And That Man? They only have one album so far and Nergal sings (clean vocals) about half the songs. It's not as good as Behemoth in my opinion, but is still interesting. I"d suggest "Cross My Heart and Hope to Die" or "My Church is Black." (Be aware that the official video for the second one does contain nudity.)

[@OverTheVoids]

FYI, a new Behemoth music video just came out today and the song is new too. You should look into it.

[@makaveli6831]

Left Hand is the Path of Freedom through Love. Good and evil are collapsed by love and the realization of loves vibration. The right hand is the weakest as they cannot stand alone and become the One. He must merge with this idea of God and as an infinite being God devours them and they have no self. The man of the left hand is free to do his will, he has free will to choose freedom.

[@corpazilum5352]

The thing about Nergal's leukemia didn't come out until about... 2010 or '11, I think? So this would be before. Doesn't mean that he didn't know and was keeping it on the DL or something, though.

[@SovereignAUS]

The left hand of God, to my knowledge, is Samael. Essentially he's the "darkest angel" or the hitman of sorts, also referred to as "The Venom of God" he acts as the main angel of death and is also the angel who reaped Job. I find him to be a very interesting figure amongst the hierarchy of God's angels because though he is still an angel, he does and condones things that the rest would not. Moses had this to say upon being introduced to him by Metatron in the seventh heaven "O may it be Thy will, my God and the God of my fathers, not to let me fall into the hands of this angel."

[@corinthiabellx]

[@raphaelleclair2688]

The christian point ov view is interesting but we can see the limitations ov it to get the bigger picture. The real message ov the song is about exploring others points ov views. Mind relatively expands itself and is able to comprehend not only whole planet but even solar system, however there's still need for more basic magickal work so to speak. Human need to be exorcised from possession by the biggest sect ov this world -Christianity. To do so let us explore other points ov view, ancient civilizations where gods are still walking in the hearts, go beyond ourselves, beyond impure monotheistic and patriarchal byproduct ov western thraldom and remember that the only sin is restriction.

[@ovfireovvoid7526]

I would like to point out that the word "sinister" comes from the Latin word for left, left handed, or left ward. The sound of the album is sinister and multiple mentions of a serpent, which in Abrahaimic religions is portrayed sinister as a symbol for Satan.

[@snoopygee848]

There are also elements of Thelema in Behemoths music. Its not just Christianity vs Satanism. The line, "To sit as slaves at the left hand ov god" is not exactly an image portraying a powerful role.

[@DrummerTheAndre]

If I'm at god's left hand, god is at my right. I guess just a matter of relativity. The right hand man would be the king's trusted adviser. Any king worth his salt would have more than one adviser, one to the right the other to the left, naturally. the connotation of 'the left hand man' would be to balance the opinion of the right, to argue the other side of a point. Basically to counter the right so that the king can remain balanced and fair. To sit at the left hand of god would be to have the most powerful counter to the right, and equally to have 'the almighty' to your right. Also, are prayer and hymns not chanting by another name?

[@DieterBuys]

Lucifer is not driven by the desire to replace God, but rather to replace divine authority with individual responsibility. To say that being "at the right hand of God" is to be in a place of strength is true insofar as God's strength can grant authority to your actions. However being on the sinister side the objective is not to derive strength from divine authority, the objective is to deconstruct the very idea of divine authority. On the surface it may seem that the sinister is weaker, until the moment when it topples the king and awful the truth is laid bare - that submission to divine authority is not perfection for free-thinking humans after all. Lucifer is not trying to defy God and replace him, he's trying to teach humanity that they have been robbed of their spiritual sovereignty by the church.

[@raynarbane2873]

i beleive the left hand of god refers to matthew 25:33 and he will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left" hes not saying "i am free to do whatever i want by going outside tge cap to the desert" he is saying " in my exile my i am free to find my true self to face and coquer my inner devils" "by stability of mater by serenity strength and beauty by the mighty chant of every breath" i think he means "in my exile i will use these tools ro concquer my inner devils resulting with by mighty chant of every breath, as i live and breath with iner streangth. through this struggle and victory i prepare myself to sit at the left hand of god. livingn in nither light or darkness. although this struggle leaves me depressed and humbled in the summer (hight of spirtual rebirth) of my life. this song depicts someone preparing themselves spiritually to commune with the kreator just my viewpoint tho. btw i enjoybyour channel very much it has opownd my mind and humbled/enlightend me immensely thank you.c

Doesn't it say somewhere in revelations that the damned will be at the Left hand of God during judgement? Isn't that what he is referencing?

[@D.A.EpicMusic]

You obviously havent noticed, or maybe havent understood, that ending chants....they are singing La ilahe illallah, a muslim prayer, which means "there is no other god but the one true god"...I was always confused why did Behemoth use that...maybe to create some Oriental feeling to their track, maybe some middle eastern mystery or something like that...or maybe they used it because it sounded "different" to create feeling of epicness...I dont know,but really strange

The English word 'sinister' sounds a lot like the Italian word 'sinistra', which in English means 'left'. This is absolutely NOT a coincidence. Both languages have roots in Latin, which of course comes from Rome and was spread by the Christianised Roman Empire. Across Europe for centuries left-handed people were considered to be sinister. Parents of left-handed children tried very hard to train them to be right handed. I'm from England and I know that as recently as 60 years ago state schools would try to stop children from being left-handed. I know this because it's exactly what happened to my mother, who is now 71. Her school tried very hard to get her to write with her right hand and not her left. Of course they failed!

Thank you guys!

[@brycecombs3977]

"Wondering neither way ov light Nor darkness" implies neither the left hand nor the right hand, but the middle path, which is implied again in the next lyric "Ov which seed Sprouts dispassionately". This is a fairly universal religious concept, and Thelema is no exception. Cf. Liber Tzaddi: My adepts stand upright; their head above the heavens, their feet below the hells.... 36. Many have arisen, being wise. They have said "Seek out the glittering Image in the place ever golden, and unite yourselves with It." 37. Many have arisen, being foolish. They have said, "Stoop down unto the darkly splendid world, and be wedded to that Blind Creature of the Slime." 38. I who am beyond Wisdom and Folly, arise and say unto you: achieve both weddings! Unite yourselves with both! The lion-serpent is the "secret savior" and there is way too much to go into in a comment, but it would help to imagine a spermatazoon, then also the seed which in old thought went into the earth, died, and came back anew. "O Lion and O Serpent that Destroyeth the Destroyer, be Mighty among Us!"

[@brycecombs3977]

And the Serpent coiled beneath the throne among other things probably implies kundalini. Another thing to consider is that, in Hebrew, Messiah and Serpent (Nechesh) have a numerical value of 358. Take all of that, put it in a brain blender til your mind blows its top, repeat

[@brycecombs3977]

And the Golden Cup of Fornications refers to the Holy Graal, into which the blood of the saints is collected. All of this is is very technical and refers to techniques of spiritual progress. (last comment! Thelema as a system of attainment has practices to control emotion and make it serve the will, as unchecked emotion leads to slavery to it. All emotion has its use, except pride, according to Crowley, since pride is completely tied to the ego)

Maybe my comment will get lost but if you get to read this. I highly recommend a listen case study of the "Arcane Rain Fell" album by Draconian. It will give a very different atmosphere and fresh air to the current content on Black Fire while still maintaining a similar scope.

Which of the songs you reacted to have been banned in Poland? I've watched your channel since you've done your first Behemoth's song and I'm pretty sure nothing's been banned here in Poland. BTW, you think, that sexual freedom can be beneficial to men only? It's pretty narrow, and well, "christian" way of thinking... You forgot about a role women played in some "pagan" cults, you forgot about matriarchal societies (which are not necessarily all thing of the past) and you seem not to notice that a woman is a sexual being and can find a joy in all sexual activities just the same as a man do.

[@thetruth4654]

good and evil are merely, labels that we attribute to morality. The nature of existence isn`t ruled by morality. It`s ruled by nature nature doesn`t care if you`re "good:" or "bad." Although Christian morality needs the emotion of shame to function, you cannot emotionally blackmail people into submitting to the idea of sin or being sinful, if you cannot get them to feel shame.

[@JamesRevan]

On the point of sexuality, I guess it all depends on your perspective. in the medieval era, an anonymous Jewish book containing Jewish folklore appeared called "The Alphabet of Ben-Sira". In there you can find the description of Lilith, said to be the first woman ever created - before Eve and first wife of Adam. Now Lilith, who was created the same way Adam was by Jehovah, decided that since she and Adam were both created the same way, she was equal to him and she should get a say on how will they have sex. Adam however didn't see the point of argument she was making and wanted her to be fully subservient to him. Since Lilith did not want to be Adam's sex slave, she left the Garden of Eden, by herself, of her own free will and during her journey through the wilderness she met the devil (I think she is actually portrayed as the wife of Samael in some of the literature, but could be wrong on that one) and other demons and since they were more lenient towards her needs, she slept with all of them. Jehovah was not exactly a massive fan of her leaving Adam, so he proclaimed that every day, one hundred of Lilith's children would die. But, again, that's just another story. In satanism, at least in the more rational variants, the concept of sexuality comes from the perspective of "me first". As only a person who is truly happy and actually loves themselves, can share those feelings in a meaningful way with others and create meaningful relationships. It's not all "fuck whatever, do whatever", it's more of a "Do what feels right to you", but since rational satanists do not believe in the concept of an afterlife, life is ***THE*** most cherished thing that exists, so we look at it "Do what feels right to you and doesn't cause harm to others". That perspective is applicable to most aspects of life, not just sex. Please react to Sabaton - "Uprising", "40:1" and "Inmate 4859".

You guys ever done a video on your perspective of people experiencing gods other than your own (or yours and others) especially multiple gods?

[@ryancoon4678]

Because the throne is in you

[@tarunkurudi8191]

I think you should stick to the most recent album "the satanist" But some other songs that are interesting to break down are "Christ grinding avenue" "The Reign of shemsu-Hor" "Alas , lord is upon me" "Seed ov i" Ben sahar"

[@shallowlord]

Come on.. you have to do An apprentice of Satan by Dark Funeral!!

[@colddarkmatter1731]

I think that the point they are making is that they don't want a throne. They don't want anyone sitting on the throne. Satan is just a symbol of the physical body. That we should all be free to be animals without judgement. Just my take.

Left and right hemispheres of the brain. Serpent and lion is the sun. Outside the desert would be outside of confusion. What people don't understand is that the bible stories play out inside of us.

[@justinrubalcava2744]

I be on the left hand but with the strength of he right hand. All hail behemoth

[@HSJ2011ofminecraft]

I was surprised you didn’t discuss the chant at the end of the song since I thought Vin would bring his knowledge on Islam for it! Great and awesome video as always, the analysis was enlightening indeed. Going back to the chant. The chant is saying the first part of the Muslim Shahada which is “la illah il Allah” (There is no god but Allah). Every now and then Behemoth adds some Islamic imagery. I have no idea why Nergal would put it there, maybe it has to do with his “meta-game” line where one must recognize in the great game of God, there is only one player (God) which of course makes it very one sided and unfair as some might perceive it as. Here’s my two cents. Keep it up with the great work!

[@lilwhitedevils]

this song i listen in my headphones during pool tournaments,, helps concentration and its a must for no mercy on your opponrnts... drums are the best.. inferno is flawless

[@williamdewey9568]

The lyrics are full of Thelemic symbolism. Serpent and Lion is a description of Baphomet. The word of sin is restriction as Crowley stated. Babalon is a major goddess also know as the Scarlet Woman who's consort is Chaos.She is the the great whore whose primary symbol is the chalice and a symbol of liberated woman and the full expression of the sexual impulse..She refuses none but extracts a heavy price.Which is usually the blood of the devotee and his ego identity .But she has other associations interpreted through the qabalah and the Tree of Life where she is connected to the sphere Binah.But you can look all this up on Thelemapedia if you choose to. Samael means venom of God or blindness of God and is Ha-Satan the accuser in Job. The serpent is often seem as a symbol of wisdom on Gnostic texts. And the left hand path is taken from the Hindu term Varma Marga which is related to Tantra many who identify as left hand path have no clue to what it really means.

Dissection - Where Dead Angels Lie

[@CrimsonAltar]

Y'all should check out Nergals other project. Me and that man, it's a blues/western style of music. My church is black is a good song.

[@BasiliusRavencroft]

The lyrical content of this song sounds more like an incantation. I have a pretty good knowledge on the occult and I can point you guys to a few books on where nergal wrote his lyrics

[@SpaceSloth707]

I'm not a christian, mainly because I never felt anything with the religion. But it's definitly cool to see christians exploring music genres that many christians sadly easily call 'satanic'. Sure, these genres generally have more satanic lyrics and imagery, but that doesn't mean that because of that, all of it is. My favorite Metal genre is Black Metal. There actually is christian Metal, and even christian Black Metal. Personally I prefer the non-christian stuff. (ps, Behemoth is Blackened Death Metal, they started as a pure Black Metal band, but quickly turned to Death Metal, but kept some Black Metal aspects. Maybe you 2 knew this already, maybe not) Greetings from the Netherlands! :)

Knowing all the shit that has been done in gods name. It's ironic to see christians refer to them and their god as "good" ...

[@chadkuhn555]

He's not taking Christianity exoterically but seems to understand the stories are meant to be understood esoterically.

[@frankanthony2956]

How many people have died in the name of God?How many people died in the name of Lucifer ?P.S I used to be a Jehovah Witness :-)

[@gamingfail7220]

Me and that man - Cross my heart and hope to die (Nergal's folk music like band. very much the opposite of behemoth and worth a listen)

[@daniellehurrell6620]

Dark Funeral- Unchain My Soul

[@sandra-martina3915]

behemoth best band

[@michaelacevedo3626]

Arcturus "The throne of tragedy"

[@TPrice919]

I don’t usually comment on videos but I just wanted to say I really enjoyed this both as a Christian and a long time fan of black and death metal. Nergals lyrics are usually pretty intelligently written and I’m glad you were able to appreciate that and add your own perspective. I would add that if you’re not familiar with occultism you might miss some of the symbolism in the song. I think someone else already mentioned the lyric referencing kundalini. As for a request it’s symphonic metal rather than extreme metal but do The Rise of Sodom and Gomorrah by Therion.

[@PRHILL9696]

Maybe their greatest album!

[@abrocksification]

surprised you guys haven’t done Ov Fire and the Void.. also to be honest I believe your videos are very long to the point where (although I enjoy your content) I feel intimidated to click and watch. It may only be me and i’m definitely not asking you change anything just my opinion..

[@jasonwilliams5925]
