🎃 Behemoth’s New Album: Is The Shit Ov God Really That Bad? 🤘🔥

Oi oi, front-row heathens! The Polish blackened death overlords Behemoth have returned with a brand-new slab of blasphemy titled The Shit Ov God. Brutal? Yep. Controversial? Always. But the question shaking the crypts of the metal underground right now is: is it actually any good, or is it just, well… shit? 💀

Let’s dive in headfirst — corpsepaint smudged, pint in hand, and volume cranked.

⚡ What the Critics Are Screaming

Like any Behemoth release, this one’s divided the metal masses quicker than you can say “hail Satan.”

🔥 High-Energy Praise

• Blabbermouth slapped it with a 9/10, calling it “their finest album in a decade.”
• Kerrang! gave it 4/5, praising its “transcendental darkness.”
• Distorted Sound cheered a mighty 8/10, calling it “rich, opulent, and irresistibly catchy.”
• Ghost Cult Mag lost their minds, throwing down a 9/10 and declaring it Behemoth’s strongest since Evangelion.

😶 Lukewarm & Meh

• Angry Metal Guy wasn’t exactly headbanging — 3/5, noting “nothing interesting happens until the last couple of tracks.”
• Soundboard Reviews found the mix “cluttered and overwhelming,” though admitted there was still black magic lurking within.
• Sonic Perspectives liked the riffs but said the lyrics felt “more blunt than poetic.”

💩 Full-On Hate Train

• Toilet Ov Hell went nuclear: 1/5. They called it a tired rehash of The Satanist and accused the band of self-plagiarism. Brutal.
• Sputnikmusic users dragged it with a 2.3/5, calling it “indistinguishable from their past work.”

🤘 What the Fans Are Saying

On Reddit and forums, the chaos continues:

“Title track is weak… rest was surprisingly good.”

“Lyrics? Abysmal.”

“Honestly a lot better than I expected…”

“This album is cringe as shit.”

“It blasts ass.”

So yeah — about as divided as the mosh pit when someone drops a pint. 🍺

🩸 The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

The Good:

• Lean and mean at just 8 tracks, under 40 mins — no filler.
• Massive riffs, especially on “Nomen Barbarvm” and “O Venvs, Come!”
• Energy and darkness that feels like classic Behemoth.

The Bad:

• Lyrics that sometimes read like edgelord fan-fic.
• Overproduction that leaves some riffs buried.
• If you wanted groundbreaking innovation, this ain’t it.

The Ugly:

• That album title. Imagine telling your mam you’re off to listen to The Shit Ov God. She’s gonna be tamping, mun. 😂

🎤 Final Riff Report Verdict

So, is The Shit Ov God really that bad? Nah.

It’s not a flawless masterpiece, but it’s not the catastrophic turd some haters are calling it either. At its best, it’s ferocious, concise, and fun as hell (literally). At its worst, it’s a little self-indulgent and lyrically cringe.

Think of it like a festival pint — not always cold, sometimes a bit flat, but still gets the job done when you’re screaming at the stage. 🍻

🕶️ TL;DR Tidy Takeaway

At the end of the day, Behemoth still sound like Behemoth — loud, dark, and unapologetically sacrilegious. Love it or loathe it, The Shit Ov God proves one thing: Nergal’s still not here to make friends. 🖤

C’mon butt, give it a spin and decide for yourself!
