This album shows Behemoth moving on from the Black Metal scene into Extreme Metal, hence some people have refered to their style as 'Blackened Death Metal'. I personally find this album to be the best Behemoth album produced thus far. Blastbeats, face melting riffs and very brutal Death Metal vocals culminate together to create a very difinitive Death Metal album.
However I must warn you, if you're not familiar with the genre it is an aquired taste... Standout tracks for me are 'Chant for Escheaton 2000' 'Decade of Therion' and 'The Alchemists Dream'.
If you're expecting a pure Black Metal album like their earlier offerings, then you will be sorely mistaken... However if you want top quality Death Metal then look no further...
If you enjoyed this album then check out 'Demigod' which picks up where this left off.

Definetely Behemoths finest album so far, pathing the way for bigger and better things. This album turns the corner for them and leads the way for others. A very technical headstong ablbum which obliterates all in its path, beginning to leave the shadow of the black metal scene and take extreme metal to new heights, tracks like Decade of Therion, Chant for Eschaton and Ceremony of Shiva stand out, a must for any collector. 10/10

'Satanica' really is an amazing album, made by an amazing, yet somewhat criminally unknown band.
Behemoth been around for more than a decade, and in my view, this is their best offering yet.
Tracks like 'Decade of 0epion', the breathtaking 'Ceremony of Shiva' and haunting out track 'Chant for Exhaton 2000' make sure you have to take notice of Behemoth.

HASH(0x9a8b4aec) out of 5 stars Stunning 11 Aug. 2001
By ka0z - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Audio CD
Absolutely stunning death/black metal album. The first track I heard from Satanica was Decade of Oepion, and I'll be damned, I was literally blown away. This cd is by the finest Polish Death/Black metal band, and without a doubt one of the best in the scene. Satanica is absolutely amazing. Bordering between death and black, from the evil guttural blackish vocals to the absolutely astonishing drumming, this is bass heavy (first indication to a more death metal inclination), and with guitar riffs/solos, this is destined to become a classic in the genre. I mean it, this is some serious stuff folks, dont pass by on it if you're into this kind of music. This is some of the finest there is. Also check out Thelema.6 by Behemoth, it's in the same vein, evil evil music. God I love it!

HASH(0x9a8b4b40) out of 5 stars Behemoth-Satanica 23 April 2001
By Chris Zappo - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Audio CD
Wow...What can I say? Being a big black metal fan, I listened to this C.D. at a local record store (Root Cellar Records). I was blown away when I first heard it and it just keeps getting beter with every listen. Skirting the boundaries between black and death metal, this is one of the most impressive C.D.'s to come out recently(although it is two years old). From the opening track Decade of Oepion all the way to the end, you will not be disappointed. A definite 5 of 5. Add this one to your collection if you find it. You will not regret it.

HASH(0x9b7b7444) out of 5 stars Brutally evil death metal 16 April 2003
By Total Scumbag - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Audio CD
This is one of the older Behemoth CDs so it is not as polished or musically mature as their later releases like Thelema 6 and Zos Kia Cultus. However, this album is one brutally evil work of true blackened death metal. All the songs on this CD are pretty brutal and straight forward. The best songs are "Decade of Therion" and "Sermon to the Hypocrites" both songs are total brutal works of satanic horror. While I feel that Behemoth has improved greatly as a band after this release, this album is still very good, just more of a straight forward death/black metal album rather than the more mature and technical works of their newest releases.

HASH(0x9a8b4dc8) out of 5 stars Behemoth's first great album, but definitely not their last 5 July 2006
By A. Stutheit - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Only when Behemoth's fourth disc was released did blackened death metal truly start to take form. 2000's "Satanica" is ripe with blinding energy, intensity, conviction and astounding musicianship. This disc, which is Behemoth's first real death metal influenced release, is top-shelf blackened/technical death metal. These songs' punishing, ultra muscular rhythms ooze with nimble, blazing riffs, vocals which alternate between growls and high-pitched barks, deliciously evil lyrics, and almost constant, frenetic death metal blasts (which are seemingly played with virtuosic ease from one of the best, fastest, and most technically proficient skinsmen in the business, Inferno). The result is a monster, "Satanica", which is completely devastating, ferocious, and genuinely tight and brutal. These songs are stripped of excess fat, making every powerful, punishing track full of frantic, engaging energy and painstaking technicality. "Decade Of Therion" begins the disc on a strong note by underpinning jackhammer insistence of walloping bass drums with searing guitar riffs. (Track six, "Star Spawn", is also this way.) The thunderous second track, "LAM", is one of the best songs of this bunch, because it's backed by chunky power chords and catchy, slamming, lightning fast blast beats which anchor the song. A few other killer songs are the scorching "Of Sephirotic Transformation and Carnality", "The Sermon to the Hypocrites" (which features a deft, driving beat, huge, crushing riffs, and Nergal's retching, black metal-esque yelps which are designed to make the listener's skin crawl), the mostly instrumental and mid-tempo "The Alchemist's Dream", and the album closer (an untitled bonus track), which is slower but equally as bludgeoning and features demonic, monstrous bellows. "Satanica" is Behemoth's first truly great record, and, luckily, the band didn't stop here; they did (and are doing) what all iconic metal bands do: continuing to grow and perfect their sound. They produced another superb album, "Zos Kia Cultus", in 2002, and eventually dropped the godly "Demigod" in 2005. Newcomers are advised to start with that career-defining album, but "Satanica" is still a great, truly inspiring album and a highly recommended pick up for all fans of this band and genre.

HASH(0x9a8b4d68) out of 5 stars Behemoth - Satanica 27 Sept. 2006
By J. van Berkom - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Audio CD
After hearing the second song on this album "LAM" on a sampler of the cult German Ablaze magazine years ago, I felt I needed to have this album. Behemoth is one of those bands that combine brutal agression with great melodies, and "Satanica" is their first great effort of combining death metal with a pinch of black metal (actually, their previous album "Pandemonic Incantations" marked their first steps away from being a pure black metal band, but that album was just good, not a must-have).

Nergal, Behemoth's band leader, has in him the skills to write great riffs. I think some people will need to get used to his vocals, as they are in between the typical death metal and black metal style. Just like the music is, actually.

It's hard to tell which bands Behemoth is similar to, they are quite original, as much as a band can be nowadays that is. Even so, it will not sound as a surprise that Behemoth hails from Poland, just like Vader and Decapitated.

If you like their latter albums like "Thelema 6.0" and "Zos Kia Cultus" there is NO way you will dislike this album, even though the newer albums are a bit more technical than "Satanica" is.

If you don't know Behemoth yet, expect great, brutal death metal with a black metal edge (maybe just like Immortal, although this last band was a bit more catchy), with superb riffing, uncompromising drumming and texts influenced by Sumerian mythology, Lavey, etc.

THIS IS DEFINITELY A BAND TO DISCOVER!!!
