Behemoth has the best live stage presence I've ever seen, everything about them is just awesome.
'
behemoth look swell because of costumes, but don't have presence... Nergal had minimal ability to banter with the audience.
conversely, Opeth, a band I don't enjoy nearly as much has Behemoth, well, MIkael HAS presence and can entertain between songs.
BEST stage presence *EVER* - i'll go with B.B. King, blues master. Consummate professional.
Within metal, Baroness had the ability to captivate without words, Slayer in their prime could whip an audience into a frenzy like no other. Enslaved are awesome for their ability to play current stuff as good as it sounds, old stuff BETTER, some banter, but mostly the ability to play a crowd of 50 as if it were Wacken.
Slayer in their prime were still the best.
