The Poisonous Path is the next step in the evolution of the sinister black metal force called Behexen. Since the third full-length album the band was demonstrating its increasing interest in a darker and more ritualistic sound. However, the previous album even had some stylistic changes, as death metal influence appeared there. On The Poisonous Path Behexen becomes more rooted in death metal providing a dark and powerful mix of black and death metal. The mentioned changes have brought the logical effect – on The Poisonous Path Behexen’s music is majorly dynamic and heavy, yet it’s filled with a grim and oppressive atmosphere. The death metal wrapping settles brutality and raw energy. The black metal basis settles darkness, mysticism and tragedy. Behexen masterfully combines those two styles. Yet Torog’s vocals are now firmly rooted in growling, while screaming appears only episodically. Torog’s growls are now lower and harsher. The Poisonous Path is an absolutely holistic work. All the compositions are written in the same style, almost with the single approach. The vast majority of tracks start fast and roughly, in a death metal style, but later, closer to an end, the blackness prevails, grimmer melodies appear, the ritualistic atmosphere becomes deeper. Anyway, while being brutal and high-paced, the music of The Poisonous Path manages to remain hypnotic and those atmospheric endings look like culminations of hypnotic sessions. With this album the band demonstrates yet another form of its darkness. The work presents the ritualistic atmosphere of the previous full-length in a harsher style.
