BEHEMOTH<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 arguably the biggest extreme metal band in the world \u2013 have extended and expanded their contract with\u00a0Nuclear Blast<\/strong>, who will now distribute the group’s music worldwide outside of their home country. The group originally signed with\u00a0Nuclear Blast Europe\u00a0prior to the release of 2009’s\u00a0Evangelion<\/em>,\u00a0but their forthcoming album \u2013 which is tentatively set for a Fall 2021 release \u2013 will be their first to be released by the label outside of the Old Continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formed in 1991 by then-teenage guitarist\/vocalist Adam “Nergal” Darski, Behemoth shattered the glass ceiling of the European metal underground thanks to a combination of aggressive worldwide touring, fiery and theatrical live performances, visually captivating music videos and unwaveringly intense music. Albums such as Demigod<\/em> (2005) and 2014’s The Satanist<\/em> \u2013 one of two Behemoth records to achieve gold-certified status in Poland \u2013 pushed blasphemous blackened death metal to heights previously thought unattainable. Those releases provided the group with no shortage of fierce ammunition to conquer all audiences in its path, whether in support of childhood heroes such as Ozzy Osbourne, Slayer, and Danzig; on some of metal’s biggest festival stages around the globe; or more recently, in European arenas alongside fellow subversives Slipknot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite numerous attempts to be silenced by Poland’s religious right, Behemoth has steadfastly refused to compromise, and Nergal believes that the best is yet to come.”Nuclear Blast has been a household name in metal for decades, and Behemoth has been part of that long and illustrious history,” he says. “But now is about the future, and we look forward to beginning Behemoth’s next chapter with a refocused and revitalized team at Nuclear Blast!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jens Prueter, Nuclear Blast Europe’s head of A&R adds, “It’s a great pleasure to extend our partnership for the worldwide release of Behemoth’s upcoming studio albums. Their 30-year journey has not yet reached its pinnacle, and we are more than proud to assist them on their way to being not only the biggest extreme metal band but also one of the most exciting rock acts of the next decade. There are just a few bands that have the vision and will to dominate the music scene. Special thanks also to their management powerhouse 5B \u2013 namely, Adam Foster and Justin Arcangel \u2013 for making this happen on all levels.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behemoth is currently working on the follow-up to 2018’s I Loved You At Your Darkest<\/em>, whose “Wagnerian satanic metal” was praised as “glorious” in a four-star review by The Guardian. The group is also preparing for its biggest live production yet \u2013 a co-headlining tour with Arch Enemy that will see the bands play arenas across Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
