BEHEMOTH Frontman NERGAL Weighs In On SLIPKNOT And SLAYER - "Every Time I Meet The Mixing Guy Or Production Guy For The Next Album, I Bring Either Iowa Or God Hates Us All"

Behemoth frontman Adam "Nergal" Darski spoke with Radioactive Mike Z at the Knotfest Roadshow on July 27th. During their conversation, found below, Nergal looked back on the first time he heard Slipknot and Slayer.

Nergal:  "Every time I get to meet the mixing guy or production guy for the next Behemoth album, I bring either Iowa (Slipknot) or God Hates Us All (Slayer). These two are my most referred albums when it comes to Behemoth productions on so many levels. I'm not saying that we want to copy that - there's a vibe - there's something absolutely untamed on both records. It's awesome."

Behemoth are hitting the road this summer with Slipknot on the Knotfest Roadshow Tour. All dates are below. The band has shared the video for "Sabbath Mater" from their latest album, I Loved You At Your Darkest. Watch below.

"We bring you the new video for 'Sabbath Mater,'" the band said. "The energy and vibe was made for performance and that's exactly what we accomplished in the video. Oh, and some ungodly imagery - it is a Behemoth video after all. As always, we are fortunate to have the mighty Grupa 13 helping us to manifest our nefarious visions. Enjoy it and we'll see you very soon."

Behemoth will be selling a single-disc LP version of I Loved You At Your Darkest during the tour. All Behemoth summer 2019 tour dates are below.

I Loved You At Your Darkest is a crushing salvo of black metal majesty replete with hellish riffs, thundering drum cannonades, and soaring liturgical choirs reminiscent of classic horror cinema. It's Behemoth's most dynamic record yet - extreme and radical on one hand, but also more rock-oriented than any other release. Produced by the band itself, with drum co-production by Daniel Bergstrand (Meshuggah, In Flames), mixing by Matt Hyde (Slayer, Children oof 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 is available here.
