Metal Blade Records News Update BEHEMOTH: Revolver Magazine Unveils Exclusive Excerpts From Forthcoming Biography

North American Live Takeover
Continues

Next week, Metal Blade Records will unleash Behemoth:
Devil’s Conquistadors. A definitive BEHEMOTH biography penned by
Lukasz Dunaj, the stunning 490-page, hardcover tome takes an in-depth look at
the history of the events that materially influenced the band, their music,
their ultimate rise to the upper echelon of metal and becoming a household name
in their native homeland of Poland. In addition to the author’s narrative, the
book includes quotes and anecdotes from current and former BEHEMOTH
members as well as interviews with Tomas Krajewski, Rob Darken, Graal, Havok,
old photos of the band, flyers, lyric sheets and so much more. In the foreword
by Krzysztof Azarewicz (Polish poet, writer, occultist and longtime lyric
co-writer): “If, as a cultural anthropologist, I were to point to a single
cosmic force which BEHEMOTH’s music expresses, I would name it not Satan but
Dionysus. A deity that represents not only the intoxicating influence of cosmic
energies and earthly benefits, but also their benevolent healing properties. A
deity of strength and pride. A deity of creative might.”

In advance
of its release, today Revolver Magazine offers up an exclusive excerpt from the
book where vocalist/guitarist Nergal recounts his early grade and high school
years, his increasing interest in extreme music and his growing skepticism of
Catholicism. Check it out at THIS LOCATION.

In related news, BEHEMOTH is
currently damning stages throughout North America on a mammoth co-headlining
tour with legendary death metal practitioners/labelmates, Cannibal Corpse. The
month-long takeover continues to march its way across the country and will
trample through nearly three-dozen cities upon its conclusion on March 7th in
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Support comes from two of Sweden’s finest metal
exports: Aeon and Tribulation. Reports The Dallas Observer of the band’s set,
“BEHEMOTH’s credo is the power of the will, and it completely permeates their
live show… On a starkly lit stage filled with cast-iron ritualistic symbols,
vocalist and guitarist Nergal lurched around with the ease of a seasoned
performer. He held the audience in his hand, and his performance alone made it
plain why BEHEMOTH’s live show is so renowned.”
