Behexen
Behexen is a Finnish black metal band founded in 1994. They adopted a more traditional approach to black metal by incorporating raw characteristics. Their first full-length release was Rituale Satanum, released in 2000 and followed by By the Blessing of Satan in 2004. They have also 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, as a support act to Archgoat.
Originally, Behexen played pure old school Black metal. However, since 2012’s Nightside Emanations’ onwards has seen a stylistic shift in the band’s sound, the vocals are now mostly lower pitched death-like growls as opposed to the earlier distinctive high pitched shrieks, though they utilise some elements of the earlier Black metal sound by still making use of fairly regular blastbeats and Tremelo picking, forming a more Blackened death metal sound.
