Behemoth Destroys the Citizens of Katowice & Wroclaw!

This past weekend, the citizens of the Polish cities of Katowice and Wroclaw, welcomed extreme blackened Death Metal meisters Behemoth with their Horns Up!

The band expected it would take some time to return to form, but so far, they are ahead of schedule. As we all know, Behemoth had to take a forced musical break when Adam Michał Darski (A.K.A. Nergal) was diagnosed with Leukemia in August of 2010. Here is an update from Nergal after the bands first few performances since he was able to rejoin the musical spectrum.

"Things are going better than expected. I was really thinking it’d take more time for us to adjust to live circumstances after such a long break. Surprisingly, we are catching up real fast. Shows in Katowice and Wroclaw belong to the best ones we’ve ever played in Poland! Both venues we completely sold out. I already can’t wait next round this coming weekend. Warsaw, be warned!"

Behemoth has one show left on their "Phoenix Rising" tour in Poland. The show is October 21st in Warsaw, Poland. Many more tour dates are being booked in addition to the "Full Of Hate" tour with Cannibal Corpse across continental Europe February-March 2012.

In other Behemoth news; the new music video for the track 'Lucifer' off the bands 2009 release "Evangelion" was recently presented to the masses. The video was shot in Wroclaw, Poland and stars the song's guest vocalist, Maciej Malenczuk.



Back in print and newly repackaged, "Demonica" chronicles the earliest recordings of Polish blackened Death Metal legends Behemoth! "Demonica" will include two booklets; a 28 page booklet and a 16 page booklet with rare photos and lyrics that were not included with the original release. Here is an mp3 for the track 'Summoning of the Ancient Gods' off the upcoming reissue.

Behemoth - Music Video Premiere for 'Lucifer'!

Poland's Heavy Metal meisters Behemoth have teamed up again with Grupa 13 to produce a music video for their song 'Lucifer'; which is a track taken from their 2009 release titled "Evangelion". The song clocks in at over eight minutes long and is one of the most atmospheric and foreboding songs in Behemoth's vast catalogue.

The video was shot in Wroclaw, Poland and stars the song's guest vocalist, Maciej Malenczuk.



Here is a behind the scenes video of the making of 'Lucifer'.



Back in print and newly repackaged, "Demonica" chronicles the earliest recordings of Polish blackened Death Metal legends Behemoth! "Demonica" will include two booklets; a 28 page booklet and a 16 page booklet with rare photos and lyrics that were not included with the original release. Painstakingly compiled by the band, and in particular, front-man and founding member Nergal, who had this to say about compiling lyrics:

"Finding and collecting all the lyrics was a difficult task, demanding patience and time. With an aim of preserving the so-called historical authenticity, I have resolved to forward the lyrics in their original form, even though some of the language mistakes in them may obscure the overall meaning of the work… The fact that none of them has ever been published before, speaks of their exceptional collectors or even historical value… All the lyrics, despite their imperfections and just terrible English, depict me from the time of their creation. I still believe that it was a very straightforward and honest material, which had its mighty influence on who I am today."

"Demonica" will be available in North America November 22 in North America, via Metal Blade Records.

Behemoth - Behind the Scenes of the making-of Video for "Lucifer"

Poland's Heavy Metal meisters Behemoth have teamed up again with Grupa 13 to produce a behind the scenes video during the production of Behemoth's video for "Lucifer". A track taken from their 2009 release titled "Evangelion". The song clocks in at over eight minutes long and is one of the most atmospheric and foreboding songs in Behemoth's vast catalogue.

The video was shot in Wroclaw, Poland and stars the song's guest vocalist, Maciej Malenczuk. The video is currently being edited and will see a worldwide premiere this September. Behemoth set the bar high with their last video, which was also a Grupa 13 collaboration, "Alas, Lord is Upon Me".

"It's crazy. The making of video is 10 minutes long and you watch it like it was 3 minutes… it's so intense and still, doesn't look like anything we've done before! "Lucifer" was a huge artistic challenge and I managed to create a VERY unique atmosphere. Watch and enjoy while waiting for the final result. The video's gonna fuckin' slay!" - Behemoth front man, Nergal



On other news, Nergal was acquitted for the second time for bible-tearing in Poland, here is what he had to say about this.

"I really had so much faith in judges. The verdict seems to be right. Intelligence and truth won over backward thinking and conservative attitudes; though I'm aware of the fact it's not over yet. The battle is won but the war is on…"
