Behemoth & Dimmu Borgir

A concert pairing the Polish blackened death metal band Behemoth with the Norwegian symphonic black metal group Dimmu Borgir, with Dark Funeral also on the bill, at the O2 Academy Brixton in London.

Behemoth is a Polish blackened death metal band formed in Gdańsk in 1991. Signed to Century Media Records, they released their debut album, "Sventevith (Storming Near the Baltic)", in 1995. Dimmu Borgir is a Norwegian symphonic black metal band formed in Oslo in 1993. Signed to Nuclear Blast, they released their first album, "For all tid", in 1994. Both bands come from the Scandinavian and Eastern European extreme metal scene of the 1990s, and the evening brings their two catalogues together under one headline.

Dark Funeral, also listed on the bill, complete the lineup of extreme metal acts for this night. The programme is built around the heavier end of the genre, with the headliners'contrasting approaches, Behemoth's blackened death metal and Dimmu Borgir's orchestral black metal, offering two distinct live sounds in one evening.

The O2 Academy Brixton is a established London venue for concerts and shows, and this event suits listeners who follow black and death metal and want to hear several bands from the genre in a single night.
