In some ways, BEHEMOTH is the closest thing you get to pure evil in modern music. The band is really at the center of black metal. They announced the release of their upcoming 12th full-length album, tentatively titled 'Opvs Contra Natvram'.
Most bands are trying to please their fans. BEHEMOTH couldn't care less; they just play what they want to play - even if it doesn't make sense to anyone else. And while this statement seems like a bold claim - it's not in any way meant to diminish other bands or make them seem unimportant - but one listen to “Opvs Contra Natvram” and you'll realize pretty quickly that you're listening to a critically acclaimed band that follows their own rules and does things on their own terms.
The latest single, 'Off To War!', directed by Påhl Sundström & Erik Sundström, give us a hint of what we will hear on their new album. Frontman Adam ‘Nergal’ Darski, comments about the new single:
“Militant times bring militant music… we’re increasing the tempo with our new single, ‘Off To War!’ – one of my personal favorites from the new record. This song has a killer punk section, one of the greatest Behemoth leads of all time, and a nice extreme metal twist at the end. A true sonic tornado in times of confrontation, enjoy it legions!!”
As with previous studio outings, “Opvs Contra Natvram” was produced by BEHEMOTH, with mixing by studio legend Joe Barresi (Nine Inch Nails, Tool, QOTSA, Alice in Chains).
