Beherit is a Finnish black metal band revered as one of the genre’s most influential and controversial pioneers. Formed in 1989 by Nuclear Holocausto Vengeance, Beherit quickly gained a reputation for their raw, unfiltered sound and blasphemous themes, laying the foundation for the atmospheric and ritualistic side of black metal. Their music ranges from savage and chaotic to deeply meditative, embodying both the aggression and mysticism of the genre.

With Nuclear Holocausto Vengeance at the helm, alongside Black Jesus on bass and Necroperversor on drums, their early releases captured the ferocity of black metal’s rawest roots. As the band evolved, their music took on an experimental edge, blending eerie synths and ambient soundscapes to push the boundaries of what black metal could achieve.
