23.Behemoth-Evangelion (2009)
Poland blackened death metal icons Behemoth made a triumphant comeback earlier this year with The Satanist- their first record to be released since vocalist/guitarist Nergal beat leukemia. However, Evangelion, their last record to come out prior to their multi-year hiatus is an even more savage and fulfilling listen than The Satanist. Evangelion takes Behemoth's pummeling death metal sound and beefs it up with a beautifully contrasting middle-eastern influence. The use of sitars, spoken-word pieces and Arabian-inspired guitar scales make Behemoth's already epic sound even more grandiose. Evangelion has all the ferocity of a typical Behemoth record with an added layer of excitement and experimentation with music from an area of the world that needs more exposure.
