The Polish metal titans drop their second single and prepare for a monstrous tour with Dimmu Borgir.

Pulling no punches, Polish extreme metal legends Behemoth have just unleashed their latest sonic assault, 'In League With Satan,' the second single from their highly anticipated studio album, 'I, Scvlptor.' Released today under Nuclear Blast Records digitally and Massacre Records physically, this track is a testament to the band’s relentless drive to push boundaries. Accompanying this infernal offering is a music video crafted by the renowned Polish collective, Grupa 13, featuring none other than the iconic Shagrath from Dimmu Borgir, whose vocal prowess adds an otherworldly dimension to the track.

Frontman Nergal shared his thoughts on the new single, revealing the inspiration behind the name of their upcoming tour with Dimmu Borgir. “To pay homage to the titans of satanic rock, Venom, 'In League With Satan' captures my vision perfectly,” he stated. Nergal’s creative process seems intertwined with the very essence of the song, as he can’t quite recall whether the tour name or the song idea came first. One thing is clear: the collaboration with Shagrath has amplified this track to titanic proportions, resonating with crushing weight. Fans can expect to witness this powerhouse live as they prepare for the upcoming tour.

In a recent interview with Tons Of Rock TV, Nergal also hinted at plans for Behemoth’s future, emphasizing the need for a well-deserved break after the intense October tour with Dimmu Borgir. “We need to recharge,” he asserted, revealing that the band may take a year off from live activities to rejuvenate creatively. However, they’re not disappearing completely; an EP featuring 40 minutes of new music is set to drop just before the tour, ensuring that the Behemoth camp will still be active on the recording front.

The 'In League with Satan' co-headline tour promises to be a monumental event, featuring the powerhouse pairing of Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir, alongside special guests Dark Funeral. Kicking off in Zurich on October 9, the tour will take these heavyweights across Europe, culminating in a series of shows that are sure to be etched into the annals of metal history. From the pulsating halls of Germany to the darkened venues of Scandinavia, fans are advised to secure their tickets ASAP—this is one tour you won’t want to miss.
