ountry of origin: Finland Location: Rovaniemi, Lappi (early); Kuopio, Pohjois-Savo (mid); Helsinki, Uusimaa (later) Status: Active Formed in: 1989 Genre: Black Metal, Dark Ambient Themes: Satanism, Blasphemy, Occult, Darkness, Mysticism Current label: World Breaking Records Years active: 1988-1989 (as Horny Malformity), 1989 (as Pseudochrist), 1989-1991, 1991 (as The Lord Diabolus), 1991-1996, 2007-present Beherit is Syriac for Satan. They also released the demo Down There... under the name The Lord Diabolus, because of problems they were having with Turbo Music at the time. Black Jesus and Necroperversor left the band shortly after the recording sessions for Drawing Down the Moon. As a replacement, Kimmo Luttinen briefly joined the band and played drums on the band's last gig on August 21st 1992. Both H418ov21.C and Electric Doom Synthesis are not metal albums, but rather synth-based ambient "dark ritual music", which NHV released by himself while attempting to put together a full band between 1994 and 1996. Around the same time, Beherit started to release ambient albums, NHV had semi-lost his interest in playing metal and started working again as a techno DJ under the name Gamma-G and he even released one compilation CD entitled (G)raveyard 2001 - The Ultimate Hardrave Massacre. 93年的beherit保留了乐队早期混乱无序的音乐特征，并且在这基础上将极端金属演绎的更加冰冷刺骨，更加邪恶狠毒。Drawing Down the Moon是beherit集大成的作品，它是一个完整的感念。芬兰的这帮疯子提前上演了一出撒旦主人的秘密仪式。感觉这张唱片的邪恶没有丝毫炒作，故作状态的嫌疑。而且听过整张唱片后你会发现自己根本无法用语言表达出那种极恶的痛苦。唱片中的音乐仍然有着大量The Oath of Black Blood时期的影子，大量death/grind元素配合old-school专用的嗓音，活生生的演绎一出撒旦主义辉煌赞美诗。beherit当年将自己的音乐称之为“satanic brutal death metal”.可见这支乐队的亵渎以及丝毫不加掩饰的邪恶。如果有一个亵渎黑金属排行榜，上榜的不仅会有像tsjuder,horna,behexen这样乐队，还会有beherit,archgoat这样的撒旦嫡系亲属。
