BEHEMOTH “The Satanist” – A Remarkable Album And Fan Loyalty = Album Chart Success
BEHEMOTH – There’s no question that the tenth studio album, The Satanist, from Poland’s BEHEMOTH has made a lasting Metal impact upon the Metal masses. I see this current album/digital chart success as a telling reminder to the status-quo mainstream: that quality Metal exists and will never say die! Both the commendable Metal and artwork of The Satanist, coupled with BEHEMOTH’s (ever-growing) loyal fan base have made a profound Metal statement during this month of February.
Album chart success for an Extreme Metal band is not an example of selling-out; instead it’s an example of the Metal cream rising to the top. Hard work and dedication to one’s craft shall pay dividends; in the case of BEHEMOTH, the Metal dividends are (in my opinion) well-earned. This recent chart success for BEHEMOTH also means that their fans have spoken and spent their hard-earned money on The Satanist, while any illegal downloaders can march straight into the douche-bag posers lounge and drink stale prune juice.
The Satanist was released in North America, via Metal Blade Records on February 4th. Below you will see the chart numbers for both the U.S. and Canada. This information was posted on the BEHEMOTH! Facebook page, on February 12th. – Stone

“illegal downloaders can march straight into the douche-bag posers lounge and drink stale prune juice” LOL! They sure can!
Great post Stone. Great to see Behemoth flying the flag with this great album. It’s a great package with the book and DVD for just £10. Why wouldn’t you buy that?

Right on! I know, the total package of ‘The Satanist’ is unreal great! You and I both have seen ‘single’ newly released CD’s sell for way more than 10 bucks!! Behemoth, Metal Blade and Nuclear Blast truly gave fans a gift at this price! Besides being a candidate for ‘Metal Album Of 2014’… ‘The Satanist’ is also, hands down, THE BEST Metal Value Of 2014!! \m/\m/
Keep On Rockin’, Thrashin’ and Moshin’, Metal Brother!
