"This two disk set is actually a great show piece and collectors item for any fan of Behemoth or early Black Metal. In the start of Behemoth's career they started out as a Black Metal band. The works today of course are hard to find. Thanks to this box set, their legendary ...From the Pagan Vastlands album and a few others have been re-released along with never before released tracks.
The sound quality of the music is typical Black metal fair with a low budget sound...yet raw and heavy production value. In fact, this collection displays Behemoth's better work...aeons before they changed into a death metal band. If you can find a copy of this limited edition collection and are a fan of Behemoth or early Black Metal, please...do not take a chance, go out and BUY it. You will not be dissapointed, especially actually having a collection of their early work."
Awesome Set

"Great boxset of one of Black Metal's best bands. A truly wonderful collection of songs, great sound quality and just worth every penny for any Behemoth fan."
Black Metal Behemoth at their Bloody Best

"If you're a Behemoth fan, you know that they morphed from a raw black metal band into a polished black metal band and then into a sick death metal incarnation. What we have here is a collection of Polands best playing early, very-DIY sounding musick that's a treat for all fans of early Emperor, Hellhammer, Mayhem, Beherit and Enslaved (to name but a few). Demonica is a collection of hard to find stuff and it's all fairly rough but well done considering they likely had no budget and were teenagers in the early 90s.
Included amidst the maelstrom are two new re-recordings of old Behemoth tracks done by the present DM incarnation. These tracks are great but are somewhat OTT next to the low budget gems on the rest of the two CDs. Overall though, this is a box full of stellad dark gems that all fans of necro black metal need."
