In a Custom Bike Show contest organized at EBW 2013 by Harley-Davidson brand, the Behemoth bike, a diabolical machine from Poland, took 2nd place in the Radical category and won the prestigious audience award - People's Choice Award.

Behemoth Bike was constructed by Polish company Game Over Cycles and is custom motorcycle inspired by and created in collaboration with by the global Polish icon of metal music — Behemoth and particularly the band’s leader, Adam “Nergal” Darski. European Bike Week is one the biggest motorcycle rallies in the world (110,000 participants in 2012).

Regarding the title of the new album, Nergal recently stated: "It took us over two decades to come up with a title that…says it all. While our new songs artistically take surprisingly adventurous directions, our message stands steadfast—Proud and Radical. The Satanist« stands for undying yearning for liberation and love for freedom in all aspects of life. Considering all our life experiences that often took dramatic curves I couldn't think of more appropriate and fitting statement of who and where we are now."

Behemoth recently announced an Australian tour in October with HOUR OF PENANCE. There's no word yet if the album delay has affected the tour schedule, but dates are currently booked as follows:
