Behemoth are set to make history with their largest ever headline performance, taking place at the prestigious Hala Stulecia in Wrocław, Poland, on Friday, April 25.
With 6,000 tickets sold and the event officially sold out, this monumental hometown show marks a defining moment in Behemoth’s storied career – and in the history of extreme metal itself.
Under the banner of The Unholy Trinity, Behemoth will be joined by two titans of black metal, Satyricon and Rotting Christ, for a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of the genre’s elite.
Together, they will command the stage inside the legendary Hala Stulecia, a UNESCO World Heritage site celebrated for its cultural and architectural significance.
Speaking on the upcoming event, Behemoth frontman Adam “Nergal” Darski shares, “We are standing on the threshold of an unprecedented moment in extreme metal. This will not only be the biggest headlining show Behemoth has ever performed and will be one of the most monumental and significant black metal concerts in history.”
He continues, “For this occasion, we’ve prepared an extraordinary production – our biggest to date. With a full multi-camera setup, we’ll be capturing every moment of this spectacle. Fans from the United States, from across continents, from every corner of the globe who can’t be with us in person – you’ll still be able to join us live in real time, or stream the show for 48 hours after the event. I invite and encourage all of you to be part of this. If not in the flesh, then in spirit, through your screens.”
Tickets can be purchased here, where fans can also get their hands on exclusive merch. Early bird tickets are priced at $12.99 if purchased before Wednesday, April 23. Standard tickets thereafter will be priced at $16.99.
Behemoth’s new opus, The Shit Ov God, will be released on May 9 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Behemoth have always been known for not shying away from controversy, and they most certainly remain true to this approach with their 13th full-length. Here’s a band that, 34 years in, is releasing its most inflammatory and extreme record to date. Eight songs that go into the fathoms of humanity, divinity, and what defiance means in an age where individuality is prized but everyone is clinging to their saviors — musically, politically, or otherwise. The title of the album is in line with those sensibilities.
Nergal says of the title, “We chose this provocative title deliberately, rejecting subtlety in favor of a direct and polarizing statement. It’s a defiant plunge into the depths, daring to seek the absolute even in the gutter.”
But make no mistake, despite its apparent insubtlety, the album title gets a touch of genius when seen in combination with the strikingly clever artwork, which depicts an upside-down version of the most common Christogram “IHS.”
Nergal commented, “I’ve reached a point in Behemoth’s journey and my own creativity where words and statements mean less and less. The true essence of who we are and what we stand for lies in our music, our art, our visuals, our sounds, our performances, and the ways we connect with you. I deeply believe Behemoth represents transcendent, timeless art. The number thirteen—so magical and significant. If this were to be our final album, I could say I die a proud man. Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the most refined, purest representation of Behemoth. No filler, no excess — just the very best we have to offer, handed to you. Hail Satan.”
Behemoth meticulously chose the audiovisual artists involved on the album. Production on the album was helmed by the inimitable Jens Bogren of Fascination Street Studios (Emperor, Enslaved, Kreator, Rotting Christ et al.). Working closely with the band, Bogren’s deft hand underscored the band’s natural sound while sacrificing none of the mayhem and ferocity which permeates the band’s essence. As is always the case with Behemoth, the visuals were as carefully constructed as the sound. The band tapped long-time collaborator and partner in crime Bartek Rogalewicz (BLACK.LODGE.IS.NOW) as well as Dark Sigil Workshop to make the beautifully ominous and unique cover-art.
