The Oath of Black Blood is great but I have to say I'm not familiar with the rest of Beherit's discography.
"The very Hemoglobin of a persons blood is based on IRON! The same Iron in the earth that you turn into STEEL, that is in everyone." -Michael Coffey, Stone Vengeance
I love BEHERIT.It makes all the mainstream Black Metal bands sound like Rhapsody.
That unholy band is the most extreme band in my opinion ever existed together of corpse with SARCOFAGO.
Oath Of The Black Blood!!!!
If I have time on my holidays I'll scan interviews of them from various finnish 'zines from early nineties. (Not much english written ones though if I remember correctly.)
Anyway, I love "Drawing Down The Moon". Sometimes when in hangover it's the only record I can listen to!

Any quotes from their interviews that you can remember?
I think "Oath of the Black Blood" is pretty good but I like "Drawing Down the Moon" a lot more. I really like the production on DDTM with the vocals up front. I like the rasping,growling weird whisper sounding vocals. I think they contribute to the overall disgusting sound of the album.

No!See my avatar.Keyboards in BM don't excite me at all even if they are for the atmosphere.
Oath Of The Black Album=Beherit that album is something unique.

Agree! I also liked the Diabolos demos / rehearsals back then. You guys probably don't like what followed DDtM. It wasn't so bad though.
I liked Electric Doom Synthesis a lot. This album has quite some dark and meditating atmospheres.
That's why I prefer Drawing Down the Moon to The Oath of Black Blood too, the first one being more atmospheric/trance-inducing. That's kind of ritual music, and that's not a bad point IMO.
How about H418ov21.C ? I remember parts of it and think it's quite good. This band can be proud about its discography. Includes classic and sheer strangeness. Incidentally, does someone of you know what this album title means. Some mortuary labelling or sth?
I only have DDTM but I like it a lot. Very compelling songs on that record. Just had to put it on the turntable after reading this thread.
It's been years since I last heard OOTBB but I never got into that record. Too chaotic from what I remember.

I'm working on these, I threw my Windows out of the window and changed to Linux and I haven't got my ancient scanner still working correctly...
