Zos Kai Cultus (Re-issue)

• 1478527-Product-0-I.jpg

"Zos Kia Cultus" was the sixth album from Poland's Behemoth and saw them ascend ever closer to the top of the death metal hierarchy. The brutal and complex riffs & structural twists would stand them alongside bands like death metal heroes Morbid Angel, with Behemoth's abilities bringing them far from the primitive black metal roots evident when the band formed in 1991. Recorded in 2002 at Hendrix Studios and released later the same year. The album was produced by mainman Nergal & engineered/mixed by Arkadiusz Malczewski. The album themes are firmly rooted in strong occultism, the title referring to 'Zos Kia Cultus' (Here and Beyond), a form of magic developed by Austin Osman Spare. One of the leading active death metal bands today, currently enjoying worldwide success, having toured with bands such as Deicide and Satyricon and embarking on numerous headline tours.
