We give you the opportunity to discover the much awaited new BEHEXEN offering.
Indeed "The Poisonous Path", their preeminent opus to date, is listenable in its entirety below :
Their fifth album is already critically acclaimed :
- "The ferocity of Behexen’s attack is undeniable. The songs hit with the power of a raging storm, the music having been produced in a way that gives it a massive, pulverizing sound. The drums really do sound like thunder, while the bass resembles a rumbling avalanche. The riffs — which are never less than magnetic — are themselves deep and destructive. And Torog’s jagged, gravel-throated invocations of Lucifer burn with blood lust." (No Clean Singing)
- "58 minutes of utter hatred, blasphemy and Satanic might." (Wonderbox Metal)
- "One of the contender for the best black metal releases of this year" (VHorde)
- "The Poisonous Path" brings back the remarkability and memorability of their earlier material !" (Toilet Ov Hell)
- "'The Poisonous Path' hits hard, creating a dense wall of all-out blasting and razor sharp leads that feel like they’re going to tear you to pieces (...) One of the year’s best offerings." (Tometal)
- "'The Poisonous Path' swallows the fantastic claims made of the light and crushes its unhealthy spirit through waves of dark matter." (Soundscape)
