To celebrate the release of their critically acclaimed new studio album, The Shit Ov God, which is out today, Poland’s kings of extreme metal, BEHEMOTH, have unleashed a stunning music video for their latest single, ‘Sowing Salt‘.
NERGAL added: “‘Sowing Salt‘ is arguably one of the most brutal compositions in Behemoth’s catalogue to date. Unrelenting. Unapologetic. Absolute.
The video was directed by Zev Deans, with whom we’ve had the pleasure to collaborate before. He’s crafted a visual that powerfully completes the song — musically and lyrically. And the lyrics? Just as radical and confrontational as music itself.“
With the post-apocalyptic and retro-futuristic imagery that dominates the clip, BEHEMOTH enter new territory without sacrificing the visual leitmotif and thematic virulence they have established over the course of their more than three-decade-long career. Scroll down to watch the video for ‘Sowing Salt‘ below.
And don’t forget to check out The Shit Ov God – BEHEMOTH‘s most inflammatory and extreme record to date!
NERGAL commented: “Nearly 35 years in, thirteen albums deep — that’s a hell of a journey. And now, with full honesty and open veins, we give you this: The Shit Ov God is upon you. The new era begins as we bled for this monumental labor! Take this, all of you, eat and drink from it for this is our body given up for you! Rejoice!”
BEHEMOTH are set to make history with their largest ever headline performance, taking place at the prestigious Hala Stulecia in Wrocław, Poland, on Friday 25 April. 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. 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.”

Poland’s kings of extreme metal, BEHEMOTH, have unveiled a stunning music video for their new single, ‘Lvciferaeon‘.
Filled to the brim with iconic, blasphemous imagery, the video for ‘Lvciferaeon‘ follows the tradition of cinematic and spectacular music videos for which BEHEMOTH have always been known. Similar to ‘The Shadow Elite‘, the last single from their highly anticipated thirteenth studio album, The Shit Ov God, the brand new song ‘Lvciferaeon‘ encapsulates both the band’s raw black metal roots and the vicious grandeur of modern-era BEHEMOTH.
NERGAL commented: “It seems fitting to announce ‘Lvciferaeon’ as our next single amongst all the protest activity seen on the streets of the Unholy Trinity Tour. Lucifer has been a recurring symbol for us over our three decades of existence – a symbol of defiance and humanity in contrast to the divine ideal. Our fight continues!”

Following the announcement of their new album, ‘The Shit Ov God’, BEHEMOTH have unleashed their latest single, ‘The Shadow Elite’, alongside a gripping music video.
On an exclusive invite-only basis, the band’s legionnaires gathered at a secret location for a raw, primal live performance. Branded and tattooed with BEHEMOTH’s sigils, the band’s most dedicated fans, known as ‘The Shadow Elite’, form a chaotic scene as the band performs from within a cage.
Marking Ash Wednesday in true BEHEMOTH fashion, ‘The Shadow Elite’ channels their early roots with relentless blast beats and searing tremolo riffs, a ferocious testament to their signature sound.
NERGAL commented: “‘The Shadow Elite’ is the second single and the opening track from our thirteenth album, The Shit ov God. A raw, high-energy anthem with a relentless drive—a banger built for the stage! Lyrically, it’s a call to arms—a fearless battle cry for outcasts, anarchists, and free minds to rise. We will not be silenced. It’s about uniting and summoning the courage to embrace and amplify the fire of freedom that burns within us!“

Extreme metal giants BEHEMOTH have revealed the title, cover art and release date of their upcoming new opus, The Shit Ov God, which is due to be released on May 9th 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. Intentionally polarizing, founder and frontman 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.
