Beherit is a black metal band from Finland, originally founded in 1989 in Rovaniemi by Marko Laiho (Nuclear Holocausto Vengeance), Jari Vaarala (Daemon Fornication), and Jari Pirinen (Sodomatic Slaughter). The band's name means "Satan" in Syriac and they are recognized as one of the pioneering Finnish black/death metal bands. Their debut album, "Drawing Down The Moon," released in 1993, is considered a classic in Finnish extreme metal. After the release of their debut, Beherit transitioned into a solo project for Laiho, who began to explore electronic music, leading the band's sound away from metal. The subsequent albums took on an experimental electronic and ambient direction. Following the 1996 release of "Electric Doom Synthesis," Beherit entered a long hiatus. In 2007, Laiho and original drummer Pirinen reactivated the band, culminating in the release of their comeback album, "Engram," in 2009, which marked a return to their black metal roots with a full band line-up. The latest release, "Bardo Exist," is once again a solo effort by Laiho, revisiting the ambient and electronic influences of Beherit. The current line-up includes: - Nuclear Holocausto Vengeance (Marko Laiho): guitar, keyboards, programming, vocals (1989 – present) - Sodomatic Slaughter (Jari Pirinen): drums (
