In the annals of metal there is no band more synonymous with an unswerving commitment to the single-minded defiance of expectation than Behemoth. Over the course of their remarkable 31-year career, these Polish hellraisers - spearheaded by Adam Darski, aka Nergal - are more than just the architects of their country’s legendary extreme metal scene. Over the course of three decades and previous 11 albums, Nergal’s singular vision has forged Behemoth into something far more than a mere black metal band. Beyond any confines of genre, they have grown to become nothing less than the personification of rebellion, individuality and unflinching self-expression informed by a literate worldview and worldliness that’s resulted in a locking of horns with everything from the mainstream press to the Polish Catholic church…

Polish extreme metallers BEHEMOTH have announced “In Absentia Dei”, a groundbreaking immersive live-stream spectacular which will broadcast on September 5 from a secret church location in Poland. The event will be streamed in high-definition 4K.

The second release in the Slavonic Trilogy reissue series. Sventevith (Storming Near the Baltic) is the debut studio album by Polish extreme metal band Behemoth; originally released in April 1995. The 2021 reissue is beautifully packaged and include bonus audio material and booklets containing exclusive archival content.

Behemoth have announced their upcoming EP A Forest, is set to be released May 29th. With the announcement of the album, they have also released a death metal cover version of “A Forest” with vocals from Shining’s Niklas Kvarforth. The song is originally performed by The Cure.

It also features two brand new tracks called ‘Shadows Ov Ea Cast Upon Golgotha’ and ‘Evoe, which serve as a continuation from the bands critically acclaimed 2018 album I Loved You At Your Darkest.

It is time to cover Europe in darkness once again: Today, BEHEMOTH release their new digital EP "Live At Maida Vale". The release precedes the black metal heroes' tour edition of their latest album "I Loved You At Your Darkest", which will be out on January, 24th. Poland's darkest force recorded several songs during an exclusive BBC Radio 1 session and are releasing the EP in support of their appearance on the upcoming European SLIPKNOT tour.

Behemoth is a Polish blackened death metal band from Gdańsk. They are considered to have played an important role in establishing the Polish extreme metal underground, alongside bands such as Vader, Decapitated, Vesania and Hate. Over the years Behemoth has moved from traditional black metal into blackened death metal and then into modern death metal with each consecutive release. Until the late 1990s, the band played a traditional black metal style with heathen lyrical content, but soon changed to that of occult and thelemic themes written by their lead vocalist Nergal and Krzysztof Azarewicz. With the 1999 release of Satanica, the band demonstrated their presence in the death metal scene, while retaining their own signature style characterized by the drum work of Inferno, multi-layered vocals and Middle-Eastern influences.
