There seems to be an ongoing battle of Belphegor VS Behemoth, I believe there was a thread for it in the previous metal storm forums, so here goes. Also hopefully this will stop people from coming into my Belphegor thread saying "These guys are awesome, but Behemoth is better".

If I didnt have my voting ban still in effect Id definitly vote for Belphegor. I find the growls are alot less sloppy.

Poll

Which band is the superior blackened death metal band?

Behemoth
155
Belphegor
57

Total votes: 212

Behemoth is very good but most people (that I know) seem to only care about Nergal, which isnt a good thing.

Really? I always thought that Inferno drew a lot of attention from fans. Hell, he's even winning in my best drummer poll.

Behemoth is a bit more dark...but they aren't really that talented in my opinion, as much as I love them. Belphegor sounds a lot better, and Helmuth has a much better voice than Nergal.

Hmmm tough but I'll go with Belphegor on this one although I think Behemoth's earlier stuff was just amazing. Belphegor for me!!

I've chosen Behemoth simply because I have listened to Behemoth more.

While I've listened to Behemoth for a longer period then Belphegor the first and so far the best album that I've heard would have to be Necrodaemon Terrorsathan.

I've listened to Lucifer Incestus and although it's growing on me I feel that nothing can surpass N.T. and as far as Behemoth goes I feel that they keep getting better and better but they have a overlapping quality of death metal to them. This is not a bad thing, but for me a equally distributed amount of Black and Death Metal appeals to me, maybe even more Black then Death. That's what N.T. is to me, the riffs are solid & cold while their solo's cut like a knife and rip out your lungs, this album is probably the closest thing to perfection in a Black/Death Metal band in my opinion.

But both bands are good and I will continue to explore their music libraries.

I vote for Behemoth. I like the atmosphere of their music more and the vocals of Behemoth are so demonic and brutal. As of late, they have turned into more of a death band than a black, but I welcome that, because I believe they sound much better like this. I guess I never really got into Belphegor too much. I don't know why, but the music just doesn't appeal to me.

Which band is the superior blackened death metal band?

IMO Belphegor is much better , if you talk about Blackened death thing. Behemoth is different , they use to play black metal .... plain black metal then they moved to blackened death and now they are brutal death ( last album demigod ) .Behemoth is brilliant because they were great in all the phases. I like Satanica , Grom and Demigod. Amazing musician they are .Where Belphegor is a classic blackened death metal and i doubt any other band gonna beat them in this sub-genre. So personally i enjoy behemoth more then Belphegor but as far as the question goes that which band is superior blackened death then i'll say that Belphegor is the BEST.

Well i voted for Behemoth

Belphegor all the way, allthough i'm into Behemoth as well. After i've seen Belphegor live, they now are one of my all time favorite Black Metal bands.

I suppose Belphegor gets the title for the better blackened death metal band since Behemoth have turned more to death metal. But if i was to chose whos the better band, id go for Behemoth, theyre so goddamn awesome, and Inferno dominates on drums

i like belphegor more, because i like black metal more than death metal and there is more black metal in belphegor. they make the perfect mix of death and black metal and i like it far better than just some (brutal) death which gets annoying after heraring a few time...

again, Behemoth are the winners. they deserve much respect for their albums than Belphegor. I personally find them a death metal version of Marduk and nothing more.

That's a no-brainer! Behemoth is a way better band than Belphegor. A tour de force which will leave you astonished at their technical supremacy. I dig Belphegor, but there's just no comparison. Amazing acoustic guitars, insane solos, perfect drumming. No way in hell Belphegor can catch up. Inferno and Nergal are metal gods. Plain and simple.

I personaly like only the old Behemoth albums...they still are a great band for me...respect to them.but still my favourite would be Belphegor

In a battle Behemoth/Gorgoroth, I voted for Behemoth.
But why almost always in stories Behemoth/Belphegor, Behemoth wins?
Belphegor is not forgotten!

Because Behemoth has a far more accessible sound, that sounds strange to say that when referring to black/death bands, but in comparison to one another, I find Behemoth is slightly more melodic with more catchy sounding songs (at least the newer stuff that Ive listened to, havn't dug into their older stuff yet.)

They are both two excellent bands, I've seen them live (two times for Behemoth, and once for Belphegor), they are amazing! I want to see Belphegor another time ( Nile was the main part of the gig, Belphegor much impressed me than Nile...!). They were really sympathetic! The drums in the two bands are also great! So impressive. I love them!
