BEHEMOTH Frontman NERGAL - "I Can’t Think Of Any Extreme Metal Band Using A Jesus Christ Quote To Put On Their Album Title"

Spencer Kaufman of Heavy Consequence had the opportunity to speak to Nergal from Behemoth about the title of their newest release, I Loved You At Your Darkest. Check out the conversation below.

Behemoth have unleashed their new album, I Loved You At Your Darkest, via Metal Blade Records (North America) / Nuclear Blast (Europe). A crushing salvo of black metal majesty replete with hellish riffs, thundering drum cannonades and soaring liturgical choirs reminiscent of classic horror cinema, I Loved You At Your Darkest is the group's most dynamic record yet: extreme and radical on one hand, but also more rock-oriented than any other Behemoth release.

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, I Loved You At Your Darkest can be ordered here.
