Band biography

Beherit was one of the earliest Nordic black metal bands. The band formed in Finland in 1989 under the name Diabolus and released several cult albums before calling it quits in 1997. The band actually broke up earlier on but the founding member Nuclear Holocausto continued Beherit as a solo project with the last two albums being more ambient and experimental music than black metal. After putting Beherit to rest Holocausto sold all his property and went to the far east. The drummer decided to live a normal life. Black Jesus formed Parade Of Souls, then joined Painflow, toured Germany, and after a while fell into chemicals. He later on joined the Finnish goth band UltraNoir. Nuclear Holocausto's other band Goat Vulva released a demo called "Baphometal" in 1990.
