Behemoth
Behemoth is a blackened death metal band from Poland — and one of my all-time favorites. Their 2014 release The Satanist is not only their best work, but it’s also one of the few albums I consider among the greatest metal albums ever.
I was most likely introduced to them by my friend Lord K from The Project Hate, who knew my taste well and was confident I’d appreciate Behemoth. This must have been in late 2002, since the first album I heard was Zos Kia Cultus, which had just come out. I wasn’t fully sold at first, or at least not as strongly as later — but this changed the following year when I saw them live. Everything clicked, and I’ve been a fan ever since.
During all these years Behemoth has released one killer album after another, along with a series of absolutely fantastic videos. And yes, I’ve written a few Behemoth quotes next to my paintings over the years, and even painted their name in 2015.
ABOUT | Special Features
These are collections of artwork based on one selected band, all gathered into a single file, a book, per artist, without descriptions for individual pieces. Some — or even all — of the artworks presented in these features have previously been shown here, accompanied by descriptive texts and additional photos (usually of graffiti based on the sketches).
For a few bands that mean more to me than most, I’ve naturally created more artwork, so it felt like a good idea to give those bands a bit more exposure than the majority of the content you see here.
If you’re new to the concept: these are graffiti-style sketches I’ve drawn, based on selected songs, shown here in the same order they appear on each album.
