Behemoth - Sventevith (Storming Near the Baltic)
12" White Vinyl
Sventevith (Storming Near the Baltic) is the debut studio album by Polish extreme metal band Behemoth, originally released in 1995. Just as the name implies, Behemoth began like a rabid beast, playing sadistic black metal. While a very expressive form of music like much black metal, Behemoth seemed to favor an abundant onslaught of sounds with a raw aggression instead of minimalism. "Sventevith" is a landmark. Behemoth is known mostly for their later death metal days, but their early black metal albums remain compositions of some of the world's finest black metal.
