Behemoth - Zos Kia Cultus - CD

2002's SIXTH STUDIO ALBUM FROM POLAND'S MASTERS OF BRUTAL & TECHNICAL EXTREME METAL. PRESENTED ON MID-PRICE CD WITH 16 PAGE BOOKLET.

Behemoth was born in Poland in 1991, formed by band mastermind, Nergal. The evolution of Behemoth grew out of early demos & studio recordings with strong black metal roots & atmospherics, into brutal extreme metal. They stamped their own identity on the metal world with the compositions becoming more fierce than cold/grim, with a great maturity in songwriting & execution becoming clearly evident with each passing release, raising the Polish group proudly to the apex of the extreme metal world.

Dating from 2002, ‘Zos Kia Cultus’ was the sixth album from Behemoth, & saw the band ascend ever closer to the top of the Death Metal hierarchy with their sharply refined technical prowess on display in both execution & composition. The brutal & complex riffs & structural twists would stand Behemoth alongside bands like Death Metal heroes Morbid Angel – Behemoth’s abilities bringing them far from the primitive black metal roots evident when the band formed.

‘Zos Kia Cultus’ was recorded in 2002 at Hendrix Studios & released later the same year. The album was produced by mainman Nergal & engineered/mixed by Arkadiusz Malczewski.
