For Immediate Release:
Perhaps death metal’s next heir to the throne once occupied by the Morbid Angel and Deicide’s of the world, Poland’s Behemoth is without a doubt death metal’s biggest buzz band at the moment. Their hard work ethic, amazing live show, superior musicianship and high praise in the press have all helped bring the band to the forefront of extreme metal. Having delivered show-stealing performances in the U.S. with the likes of Danzig, Testament, Halford, Superjoint Ritual, Opeth, Deicide and Lacuna Coil, Behemoth is a band that hardly believes in rest.
Behemoth will be kicking off their first North American tour in support of their new album, Demigod, on 1/23 in Atlanta GA. The band will be direct support for death metal legends Suffocation. When asked about returning to the states after the success of Zos Kia Cultus (Here and Beyond) main man Nergal (vocals/guitars) could not hide his enthusiasm:
"We are very excited about coming back to the US! It seems our tour schedule for Demigod will be the tightest we've ever had. Anyway, we will be supporting Suffocation all across the US starting in January. Demigod will be out in the U.S. January 25th with some bonus materials and different artwork so keep your eyes open! I’m hoping everyone will love the record! See you guys on tour! You all rock!"
“(Behemoth) are somehow transcending many preconceived barriers of Death and Black Metal, creating a music that renders futile any such external conceptions of artificial stylistic limitations. Behemoth is the epitome of what a metal band SHOULD be - forging their own sound with originality, fire and brutality. Demigod is a spectacular musical effort. Fucking blazing!” – Karl Sanders, Nile
