    I love all of Bethlehem's earlier albums, but especially Dictius te Necare has been one of my all-time favourite albums for years. Rainer Landfermann pulls off the most insane vocals that sound actually disturbing, unlike lots of DSBM bands that try to copy them. The ending to Aphel, die Schwarze Schlange is probably my favourite moment.

      „Aphel, die Schwartze Slange“
      Wtf. If this is your favourite Bethlehem moment then write the song title correct.
      It's not that hard to do that, even if this is not your native language - You're in the fuсking internet...

      I honestly never read about this theory, but i read about Silencer actually been a project made by the members of the Bethlehem, you can actually listen a lot of resemblance in the sound, expecially in the clean/slower parts, like in the song "Sterile Nails And Thunderbowels", is totally something Bethlehem would compose.

    Gummo is probably the film with the most extreme metal soundtrack. That's where I also found about Bethlehem as I remember. The song played on the ending credits is actually "Schuld Uns'res Knöch'rigen Faltpferd's" which was featured exclusively in the film. "Verschleierte Irreligiosität" is played briefly during one of the scenes in the movie, specifically the outro section of the song.

    I personally prefer Dark Metal (one of my top 10 all time albums), but I totally get people liking Dictius te Necare more. Rainer's performance on that is pretty much legendary. Feels like the deranged side of black metal is still chasing that sound and he remains on top.
    As weird as it is that it exists in the first place, that "My Way" cover is amazing.

    Nice video but some missing things should be said as well. Bethlehem lost their dark metal face when the guitarist Klaus Matton left the band. Jürgen Bartsch might be the soul of the bands but is not able to compose such riffs and melodies Klaus did.
    Marco Kehren, one of the two vocalists of "S.U.i.Z.i.D", has his own band called Deinonychus which is musicaly and personally close related to Bethlehem. The other vocalist of the Bethlehem's third album is Cathrin Campen and most of the time you can clearly hear the difference between the two. She is not only talking some parts, she is also doing brutal female vocals for example in the track "Teufelverrückt Gottdreizehn".

    There is more links and similatiries between Silencer and Bethlehem:
    Steve Wolz who was the drummer in 'Death Pierce Me' was also, the drummer of Bethlehem.
    Bethlehem's guitarist did the cover art for Death Pierce Me.
    I read online in some forums, which is not hard to find, that Silencer was a Jürgen Bartsch's project, he never confirmed it, but you can definitely hear some some resemblance, specially in the clean/slower parts in "Death Pierce Me" and "Sterile Nails And Thunderbowels" is totally what Bethlehem sounds like.
    I don't believe nattramn actually existis, is all a marketing play by the guys from Bethlehem appealing to shock value.

These give even the Schatten aus der Alexanderwelt trilogy a dark twisted atmosphere. I usually don't care for lyrics but those are definetly a great bonus. I like that every album is more or less unique.

I love their experimental era, lasted over a decade and they did some great albums, Alexander Welt in particular is well worth a listen IMO but I tend to enjoy experimental music. The vocalist on Suizid went on to form Deinonychus, one of my favorites and i can't recommend them enough, especially the newest album Ode to Acts of Murder... which I have mentioned a number of times commenting on your videos. Jurgen did a industrial/black metal side project called Stahlmantel with Nihilist from In Memorium/Thy Infernal/currently Plague Bearer, also worth checking out. Jurgen's childhood was really fucked up, its no wonder the music is so dark.

    I respect them for the unique style but I cant listen to this depressing kind of black metal and the vocals
