Behemoth announce new album ‘I Loved You At Your Darkest’
BEHEMOTH have announced a brand new album!
The upcoming album, titled I Loved You At Your Darkest, follows 2014’s critically acclaimed The Satanist and is scheduled to be released in October this year!
The upcoming record was produced by the band themselves, with drum co-production by Daniel Bergstrand (MESHUGGAH, IN FLAMES), mixing by Matt Hyde (SLAYER, CHILDREN OF BODOM) mastering by Tom Baker (NINE INCH NAILS, Marilyn Manson), and a 17-piece Polish orchestra arranged by Jan Stoklosa.
Speaking about the record, BEHEMOTH mastermind Nergal says, “it doesn’t get more blasphemous than this, it’s a verse from the Bible. It’s actually a quote from Jesus Christ himself. For BEHEMOTH to use it as the basis of our record, it’s sacrilege to the extreme.”
Alongside the announcement of the forthcoming album, the band have launched a new music video for the first single; titled God = Dog. The accompanying music video was directed by Grupa 13.
