Classic cd i've been listening to alot latly. One thing about this album that really appeals to me is the vocals. Can anyone think of any other albums/bands that share a similar vocal style, preferably a death metal band but anything will do. Closest thing I could think of was some of the lows in Wormphlegm sound similar.

Blasphemy and blasphemy-worship bands comes close to the vocal style in the black metal regions.

Archgoat, Proclamation, etc...

Teitanblood, Abhorer, Bestial Warlust, Bestial Summoning, Blood,

somebody else chime in, I'm tired of these threads.

Hahaha, but you seem to be the most knowledgeable about this type of black metal here.

Thanks Blasphemy and Archgoat seemed to be relativly close while both being good bands.

Nolan no offense man but for being tired of these threads you really didn't help much. Abhorer was the only band who seemed to resemble Beherit's vocals. The other bands obviously drew influences musically and had the high vocals but didn't really compare to the growls that are so prevalent in a song like Solomons Gate. Nonetheless thanks anyway, Teitanblood is pretty good.

Bestial Warlust's two albums sound nothing like Drawing Down the Moon.

You can also check Manticore.

Right. I accidentally slipped them in thinking about The Oath of Black Blood.

After hearing so much praise for this band and in particular this album, I've checked out a couple of tracks and just don't get it. They sound like a band just learning how to play their instruments and the vocals are completely laughable.

Try Necros Christos

Classic album. Unholy Crucifix from Norway is in this style I would say, solid stuff and worth checking out.

Does anyone have good tab for Sadomatic Rites?

No fucking way.

That's an easy one, as well most of the album tracks. listen a lot and you'll have it

teitanblood is completely utterly boring though at least the Black Putrescence of Evil release.

I always felt that this band really captures the Pungent Stench's "For God Your Soul, For Me Your Flesh" sound perfectly. Listen to their albmus in conjunction with Pungent - same guitar tone. same vocal style. In that regard, listening to Teitanblood can be a little stale. Good band though, non-the-less.

siiick band but not even close , Truth is there isn't anything that sounds close to ddtm just be thankful we all have that masterpiece . Vocally try the Goatvomit demo and the chapel of the winds of belial e.p. they are total Beherit worship actually .

or :o or :o or
the greatest album ive heard since the nineties is seven chalices

Many of my favorite bands have been mentioned (Teitanblood, Archgoat, Wormphlegm, Necros Cristos (Fuck yeah!), Manticore, Bestial Warlust), but not a single one of these bands really shares the same vocal sound as that Beherit album. Manticore? Wormphlegm?! No no no.

My favorite album. A lot of Doom metal elements in the slower songs like Sadomatic Rites, black arts and gate of nanna. Salomon's Gate and Nocturnal Evil is so epic that it has this dark spiritual aura to it.

Speaking of Salomon's Gate, dos anyone have the lyrics to that song? I can only decipher the bridge part at 1:53 where he says:

Storm through the gates, preaching hate, Break through Salomons Gate
Storm through the gates, blessed hate, break through Salomons' Gate

Mystifier's "Wicca' is the closest album I've found in mood, and the vocals do bare some similarities, including with the amount of distortion used. I always see people recommending bands that sound like Blasphemy...in my view "Drawing..." doesn't sound much like this Canadian band at all on anything but the most superficial level.

I think "Drawing"...is brilliant. At first, I simply thought, "woa, this is evil!"..and surely it is, but there are alsoo massive riffs, a lot of subtle touches of sound and synthesiser, and loads of vocal variation, which I love. The mood of the record is just supreme.

Doesn't anyone think Sorcofago share a lot in common with Beherit?

I know they are from the different end of the scale, but I always mix those two bands in my head.

I was actually about to edit my post earlier to mention Sarcofago. I'm positive that Wagner's vocals were the biggest influence on HOlocausto...just listen to that rabid-sounding hissing delivery. Of course, there is similarity in the riffing department, too.

"Seven Chalices" is completely soulless in the musical department and trying too hard to look all "enlightened" and mysterious in the lyrical one [read: it's a huge pile of boring and pretentious... music?]. The guitar tone is totally sick, though, I must admit it.

Ride for Revenge - The King of Snakes has a similar thickness to the sound and a comparable atmosphere to DDTM, and I also think whoever said Mystifier - Wicca was on the money.

Absolutely incredible album. As mentioned the doom influence in some of the songs is excellently integrated with the first wave black metal. But what stands out most for me is the brilliant use of ambience in songs like "Nuclear Girl" and "Summerlands" and when you combine the aforementioned features with some original (not to meniton pretty weird) vocals, you get a mystical classic that only gets better with time for me!

Derailing the thread once more: combining ambience with such a songtitle as "Nuclear Girl" is not the worst idea ever, but pretty damn close.

To stay on topic: as I stated a few times before, I can't listen to DDTM because I inevitably start to fall asleep after the third song (at most). I don't know why but it (the album) works as a soporific on me.

I'm surprised no one has pointed out that this is a thinly veiled recommendation thread yet.

I always found early Samael to be fairly similar to DDtM era Beherit, mainly due to their crushing, oppressive, doomy passages. Though I don't think the Moon's sound can ever be replicated; it's quite simply a masterpiece.

It's moved on a little bit. We'ree trying to make it into a discussion of this classic album, I guess.

A great album indeed, however I still haven't found much that resembles the vocal style. It always seems like a massive stretch to find anything to sounds much like the vocals, even the music to a certain extent. Perhaps this has something to do with why this album is held in such a high regard.

I could never understand all the praise this album receives. The music does deserve a certain amount of praise, being oddball black / death metal fusion with one-of-a-kind atmosphere which has never been replicated or achieved by someone else. But the vocals due to the heavy usage of effects spoil the album for me. In my opinion it would have been much better, had it been recorded with non-processed vocals.

Have to post this for the threadstarter. Got the pic from an old MA-thread (if I remember right) that does not exist anymore, which was about Metal covers re-done with Microsoft Paint. Godly.

Oh, I couldn't disagree more. The vocals are one of my favourite things about the album. They sound extremely inhuman, and the variety delivered in their presentation isn't all just down to processing. he growls, whispers, speaks, hisses...they may be a little too loud in relation to the guitar, but that's really a mixing issue.

Wow, so this thread got raped and pummeled so it doesn't exist anymore.. damn. Could you maybe give me the links the to the other MS paint covers?

I don't mind the delivery itself. But I consider it spoiled by some effects.

No, the thread got deleted, because it was from late 2007. All old threads are somehow gone

I only saved one more pic back then:

hahaha they couldn't even spell "Jesus" backwards correctly

I bought that album when it first came out, and was ridiculed for liking it. Things have changed a lot, that's for sure. I love Beherit, I have their old logo tattooed on my forearm that's how much I love that band. The end.

Well to each his own but i found the second time i listened to it (First time was on too much ketamine to process any of it) i was blown away by the heavy emphasis on atmosphere above all else. Rarely a band makes an album that so perfectly creates a cohesive atmosphere all the way through. Try listenin to it agaiin as a whole, tryin to not separate it into instrument/vocal etc...
