Behexen is a formidable force in the underground black metal scene, hailing from Finland and known for their unrelenting darkness and Satanic themes. The band was formed in 1994, initially under the name Lords of the Left Hand, and consiste of members who adopt pseudonyms echoing their fierce musical and thematic aesthetics. Throughout their evolution, Behexen has maintained a reputation for producing a raw and aggressive sound that pays homage to the early days of black metal, while managing to carve their own niche within the genre with their particular brand of occult-laden ferocity.

Their discography, marked by malevolent atmosphere and scathing riffs, includes several full-length albums that have solidified their standing among aficionados of extreme music. "Rituale Satanum," released in 2000, served as a diabolical debut that made a strong impact in the black metal community. Following works such as "By the Blessing of Satan" (2004), "My Soul for His Glory" (2008), and "Nightside Emanations" (2012) continued to build on their sinister soundscapes. The band's most recent full-length album, "The Poisonous Path," released in 2016, is regarded as one of their most formidable offerings, unleashing a maelstrom of occult energy and technical proficiency. Alongside these albums, their "Split" release with fellow black metal act Satanic Warmaster demonstrated Behexen's ability to stay relevant and collaborate successfully within the black metal scene while staying true to their core principles.
