Never been able to fully appreciate the oath, I've always preferred Drawing down myself. Haven't heard any other Beherit though.

The Oath of Black Blood is great but I have to say I'm not familiar with the rest of Beherit's discography.

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.

only heard ootbb and ddtm, and i like them both...i guess which i like more depends on my mood at the time...as with almost everything

Guess I'm the only one who likes Oath a lot more then Drawing. The latter bores me after a while

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?

That's what I meant, it's a destructive force, something from beyond to enter this pathetic world

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...

Drawing Down The Moon is their best work. I like this style of black metal the best. Pure underground filth at it's finest

took me many years but I can now sort of straightforwardly enjoy DDTM but good god, better mix (not production generally, just mixing) needed!!
