Behemoth’s XXX Years Ov Blasphemy captures the raw, unpolished grit of their legendary live sound, celebrating three decades of blasphemy.
Marking three decades of dark mastery, XXX Years Ov Blasphemy is a live tribute to Behemoth’s relentless journey in blackened death metal. With a slightly muddy mix (but hey, it’s a live album!), this record captures the raw, unfiltered energy of their stage presence. For die-hard fans, it’s a reminder of the band’s status as legends. Nergal’s vocals, though perhaps showing the grit of time, command a certain maturity that loyal listeners may respect. It’s not revolutionary, nor does it venture into new territory, but it’s a powerful nod to Behemoth’s roots and relentless endurance.
Instrumentally, XXX Years Ov Blasphemy doesn’t disappoint: classic Behemoth brutality, Inferno’s drum thunder, and Orion’s unmistakable basslines come through with force. But if you’re looking for emotional catharsis, it may not strike the deepest chord—this album is for those who want to feel the weight of Behemoth’s legacy without expecting a reinvention.
