this band released, in my opinion, one of the greatest black metal albums ever created. it was called Dictius Te Necare, roughly translated from Latin to mean "You Must Kill Yourself." The vocals on this album, coupled with great production, did something that no other black metal album has done for me. they conveyed the raw emotion of someone fed up with the world. while the typical black metal band was composed of a few nerds screeching in monotone about killing christians or something else they'd never done, Bethlehem's vocalist gave the listener a connection to the agonized individual. The music leaps back and forth from insane banshee-like wails over intense guitar-driven jams, directly and without transition to soft, almost lullaby dirges with the pallor of a funeral. this is the soundtrack to the moods of a manic-depressive.

Bethlehem was the band that got me through high school. While all my friends were fawning over Korn and Limp bizkit, I was struggling to find the appeal of that watered-down shit. Since i listened to music made by people who had literally no reason to live, I found myself bored with the angst of middle-class suburban white kids.

so yeah, Bethlehem released two exceptional albums, namely Dictius Te necare, and S.U.I.Z.I.D, before their vocalist left the band to pursue the rest of his life and they started churning out ambient crap and shit that attempted to sound like their good albums.
