People that never got through their angry fucked up teenage years still wanting people to see how much 'rage' they have inside...apparently.It's very techinical and it aint for everybody, but I think your take on it is a bit general and condescending. I have a vast variety of tastes in music spanning over several different generes and I am a musician myself so I do know an accomplished artist when I hear one and Behemoth are very good at what they do. I don't buy into the whole satanic evil thing they do, but the material itself is well written, composed and performed (live and in the studio). Currently Behemoth is being held in Russia over trumped up charges regarding their visas, so their angry angst likely has a lot to do with the religious persecution they've experienced over the years abroad and at home in Poland. I've met them on several different occasions and they're all very intelligent, well spoken professional musicians.
