Behemoth continues to dominate

By admin

Poland's extreme metal kings, BEHEMOTH are a ferocious touring machine! The band has already completed nearly 100 shows in support of their latest album, Demigod, and is still hungry for more. The group's latest effort Demigod has quickly surpassed the sales of their previous record Zos Kia Cultus in less than two months! Since Demigod's release, the band has toured with Suffocation and been featured on the covers of Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles, Pit, Metal Bite and Metal Maniacs. Soon to return to the U.S. to embark on a full tour with King Diamond, Nile and Black Dahlia Murder, we decided to ask Nergal (vocals/guitars) about the band's stateside popularity.

"I remember that not so long ago we were struggling so hard to get any recognition in North America. But on tour with Suffocation, I could easily see that BEHEMOTH's legions have grown so much. Thank you for coming to the shows and buying our merchandise and new album. It's going great and it obviously wouldn't without your tremendous support! YOU ROCK TOTALLY! See you all soon on my 'dream team' tour with King Diamond!"

Perhaps death metal's next heir to the throne once occupied by the Morbid Angel's 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.
