BEHEMOTH have been forced to drop off the Sonisphere Finland show on August 7th due to health issues. It is unclear if any more of their European festival dates will be effected by this or not. More details are expected to be released over the next few days.

Behemoth will be releasing their second-ever DVD, titled Evangelia Heretika, this fall, 2010. More details, such as DVD content, video clips, and pre-order information will be made available in the coming weeks.

Vocalist and guitarist Nergal comments: “We’ve been through hell and back to make this release happen. I know we only have a few DVD’s in our catalogue so far but they are not even close to what you are gonna experience with Evangelia Heretika! Expect approximately 5 hours of essential Behemoth. Long-time Behemoth artistic collaborator, Graal, has provided us with some of his most disturbing and completed vision to date.”

Evangelia Heretika will be released in North America via Metal Blade Records, in Europe via Nuclear Blast Records, and in Poland via Mystic Records.

Starting on November 3rd, Behemoth will hit the road on a headline run dubbed the Lawless States Of Heretika tour that kicks off in Quebec City, Canada. Joining Behemoth on this tour that takes the band through the US and Canada are WATAIN, WITHERED and BLACK ANVIL.
