Behexen

Behexen is a Finnish black metal band founded in 1994. They adopted a traditional black metal approach by incorporating raw characteristics. Their first album, Rituale Satanum, was released in 2000, and followed by By the Blessing of Satan in 2004. They released a split with Horna (12-inch LP limited to 500 and CD 1000 copies) and a 3-vinyl set From the Devil's Chalice (limited to 666 copies). Behexen toured Europe in 2005, supporting Archgoat. Behexen played old-school black metal until 2012’s Nightside Emanations, which was a stylistic shift. The vocals are now mostly lower-pitched death-like growls as opposed to the earlier high-pitched shrieks, though they use elements of the earlier black metal sound, such as blastbeats and tremolo picking, resulting in a blackened death metal sound.
