Beherit - Live Rovaniemi 1990 [bootleg]

 

Beherit was one of the earliest Nordic black metal bands, formed under the name Diabolus.

 Beherit was formed in 1989 by Nuclear Holocausto (Marko Laiho), Black Jesus (Arjo Wennström) and Sodomatic Slaughter (Jari Pirinen), with the purpose of performing "the most primitive, savage, hell-obsessed black metal imaginable". "Beherit" is the Syriac word for Satan. Through the uncommercial nature of their music, visuals, and live performances, the band quickly attracted a cult following. Besides the "raw" sound, the band's music is noted for its avant-garde side and emphasis on atmosphere. Beherit are now regarded as a pioneer in their genre.

In 1990, Beherit released 3 demos "Seventh Blasphemy", "Morbid Rehearsals" and "Demonomancy" and a picture 7" EP "Dawn of Satan's Millennium", the latter released by German Turbo Music. These releases & some live shows gathered already a rather large following, aswell as media attention from the local newspapers.

''We have played quite few gigs, less than 10. Our last gig was with XYSMA (you know, quite cool gore-core from southern Finland) but mainly we've played with other local bands here in North-Finland. On our gigs at least I'm "weltering in Blood", Necro-Vengeance and Sodomatic Slaughter have black face & corpse painting on. In future there should be more blood and fire on the stage and of course lots of upside-down crosses and pentagrams. We've planned to perform some Satanic rituals on stage, too. Oh, I almost forgot: we should be playing in Norway, too, in December, with Mayhem and Xerasia... Hail Satan!''
