Nergal began looking for new members but could not find a new drummer. By the time Satanica came out, Inferno and Les were out of the band. During that period, Behemoth had to go through some line-up changes and had problems with their ex-Polish label. The label also secured two European tours for the band in support of Deicide and Satyricon respectively. The first result of this new collaboration was the successful album Satanica, on which the black metal sound had evolved into blackened death metal.

After another extensive tour, Behemoth signed a two-album deal with Italy's Avantgarde Music in the fall of 1998. However, due to a lack of promotion, the album was not well publicized. The culmination of their increasing presence and metal media set a new standard for them. Two years later, the band recorded a third album, titled Pandemonic Incantations. At the same time, Behemoth finally got a chance to play live shows in its native country and finally tour around Europe, gaining stage experience. Grom features many different influences and musical styles, using female vocals as well as acoustic guitars and synthesizers. A year later, they recorded their second album Grom, which was released in 1996. Their next release was Sventevith (Storming Near the Baltic) in 1995. This tape was released by Polish label Pagan Records, and later on through Wild Rags. The most significant however, was the fourth demo. They started with the demos Endless Damnation, and The Return of the Northern Moon.
