They have also released a split with Horna (12-inch LP limited to 500 and CD 1000 copies) and a 3-vinyl set From the Devil's Chalice (limited to 666 copies). Behexen toured Europe in 2005, as a support act to Archgoat.

Album Review

Behexen's 'Beyond the Four Gates' is a raw and unrelenting journey through the depths of black metal darkness. The album's overall sound is characterized by a sinister atmosphere, with haunting melodies and aggressive vocals that create a sense of impending doom. The production quality is deliberately lo-fi, adding to the eerie and chaotic nature of the music. Standout tracks include the relentless 'Ave Satani' with its chilling chants, the epic 'Eternal Realm' with its atmospheric build-up, and the fierce 'Blessed Be the Darkness' that showcases Behexen's mastery of black metal riffing. 'Beyond the Four Gates' fits perfectly in the band's career as a testament to their dedication to the black metal genre and their ability to create dark and menacing music.
