They've been doing their thing for a lot longer than most bands even similar to them, and better for the most part.
And for the record I love some of Behemoth's music, they're about even in terms of personal preference for me.
In a genre filled with shit like Arch Enemy, Children Of Bodom, and In Flames, thats not saying much. Melodeath sucks for the most part, and Amon Amarth are not one of the bands that I point out as an exception. And who gives a fuck how long they've been around? You can still write generic music. Amon Amarth has been writing the same album for the past 15 years. You're honestly telling me you think their last couple records were something new to you?

I just don't think it's fair to call a band "generic" when the reason they seem that way is because of the hundreds of similar bands to follow after them.
And I think Deciever Of The Gods was much better than Surter Rising, and nearly as good as Twlilight Of The Thunder God.
I personally enjoy Origin, Revocation, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Arsis, Obscura, Gorguts, Broken Hope, Unleashed, Suffocation, Obituary, Nocturnus AD, Krisiun, Kataklysm, Kalmah and Hour Of Penance more than Behemoth.
And yes i know that most of them aren't straight death metal, but neither is Behemoth.
Behemoth's last few records have leaned more towards straight death metal....
And out of those bands right now I'd only take Gorguts and Obscura over Behemoth. Revocation isnt really straight death metal enough to be included in the conversation.

You're missing the point. It has nothing to do with other bands. It has to do with Amon Amarth writing uninspired music that sounds far too similar to their previous release. Other than Slayer, I cant think of a band that sticks to one particular formula for so long. And lets be real here, Amon Amarth is no Slayer. Hell, at least Slayer switched it up a bit in Seasons.

For you, yes. It might still be totally inspiring to someone else.
I personally have enjoyed AA's last several albums, I don't think they have a single "bad" record. And yes I also agree that AA's newer music isn't all that special in midst of the dozens and dozens of great releases to come out the last 3 or 4 years, but it's completely Amon Amarth, you know what you're getting into when you buy a new album of theirs. And i like that, sometimes.
AmOn Amarth puts out the same album every year but they're def fun live in a smaller setting
Behemoth to me is just one of those bands where no song ever stands out.. All the songs are ok but I've never heard a song where I was like damn that song kills.. I like memorable riffing too and I can't remember a single riff that stands out.. That being said I'd still love to see them live
Sculpting the Throne ov Seth Demigod Conquer All Mysterium Coniunctionis (Hermanubis) XUL Slaves Shall Serve Slaying the Prophets ov Isa Prometherion At the Left Hand ov God Christgrinding Avenue Diamonos Shemhamforash Ov Fire and the Void Alas, Lord Is Upon Me

I have to ask.. I know you just got an interview with Nocturnus, but are you really familiar with them other than the last few days of checking them out due to getting an interview? I just don't see a fan of theirs prior to them starting to do shows again referring to them under the name they're being forced to play as in Nocturnus AD. I know it is a generalization, but typically newbies to bands refer them to names they're given due to legal reasons as opposed to what they really are. It's as stupid as calling Ghost as Ghost BC or calling Pungent Stench as The Church Of Pungent Stench.
It's not all original members, so they messed with the name to be safe.
"We hereby inform you that after a 6 year break PUNGENT STENCH are back in business, again!
Original composer, vocalist and guitarist El Cochino (Martin Schirenc) has once again beaten the odds by re-animating the filthy kings of odor, and is joined by his henchmen Danny Vacuum (Genocide SS, The Accidents) on bass & vocals and Mike G. Mayhem (Hollenthon) on drums.
Due to possible legal bullshit regarding the use of the name “Pungent Stench”, the re-born triumvirate from Vienna/Austria will perform all future shows under the banner: “THE CHURCH OF PUNGENT STENCH’
Fans will finally get what they’re asking for, throughout the years: An old school set list including some rare and even never played before material, such as tracks from the 1989 split LP with Disharmonic Orchestra, as well as classic smash hits from their first three albums!
The band is highly motivated and will play its first official show on Friday, 13th December 2013 at the Eindhoven Metal Meeting in The Netherlands. That day, THE CHURCH OF PUNGENT STENCH will perform together with other highly appreciated artistes such as Napalm Death, Brutal Truth, Vomitory, Watain, Belphegor, Tiamat and Carpathian Forest.

And live? I'd take Behemoth. 0.
I'd rather go see Fleshgod Apocalypse headline live than see Behemoth right now, it's just about personal preference.

As a whole
Behemoth > aa
I honestly dont listen to much Behemoth. They're cool, just never really got big on them.
I would argue they are just as gimicky and repetitive as Amon Amarth though. I just like AA's gimmick and sound better.
Demigod
Conquer All
Mysterium Coniunctionis (Hermanubis)
XUL
Slaves Shall Serve
Slaying the Prophets ov Isa
Prometherion
At the Left Hand ov God
Christgrinding Avenue
Diamonos
Shemhamforash
Ov Fire and the Void
Alas, Lord Is Upon Me
All great songs
