Messe Noire: Live Satanist

In an incendiary live performance steeped in bombast and ritualistic atmosphere, Polish black-metal masters Behemoth play their landmark album *The Satanist* in its entirety. Tearing into sonorous opener “Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel,” torrential riff salvo “Furor Divinus,” and the doom-laden title track with blistering intensity, vocalist/guitarist Nergal and his corpse-painted retinue breathe hellish new life into their phenomenal 2014 album—with plenty of crowd appreciation to back it up. They conclude with an especially searing rendition of the album’s closing death march, “O Father O Satan O Sun!”
