#5 - BEHEMOTH - Evangelion (Metal Blade)
BraveWords.com's David Perri wrote in his review: "Yes, Evangelion is that forthright and uncontrollable. Sometimes experimenting with riffing and song structures that have been heretofore unseen in the Behemoth catalogue, Nergal has outdone himself and graced us with a record that brings his band to new artistic heights, all the while increasing Behemoth’s extreme focus (a feat that at one time seemed unattainable). Just as Demigod impressed us beyond what we felt possible, Evangelion has the listener slack-jawed in amazement that death metal has, yet again, been re-perfected by Behemoth."
