Behemoth are subpar. Their early work was a poor copy of what was occuring in Scandinavia (although "Wolves Guard my Coffin" is a brilliant track); I got "Zos Kia Cultus" & "Satanica" later, and both albums were boring. Like on the track "No Sympathy for Fools" - powerful crescendo and all, they do the start/stop poorly, and they throw too many elements into it, so there's no single unifying element or drive.
Call me a boor, but I don't like to have to wait a minute or two for a death metal song to become interesting.
"Wolves Guard my Coffin"; Behemoth's best track.
