Polish black / death metal overlords Behemoth recently stirred their fans into a frenzy by issuing a brand new image, created by artist Sylwia Makris, of frontman Nergal crucified on the cross. The picture, which can be seen below, is titled "GOD=DOG". Could this be the new album title? Perhaps the name of the next single / video? Time wil tell.

This October/November, Polish black/death overlords Behemoth will hit the road across North America to headline the Ecclesia Diabolica America 2018 e.v. tour. Featuring special guests At the Gates and Wolves in the Throne Room, this is one show not to be missed.

Behemoth singer, guitarist and main-man Nergal comments: "I hereby announce Behemoth's triumphant return to the North American shores this Fall. We will be in the noble company of At The Gates and Wolves In The Throne Room, who will be supporting us on our 11th opus. Even though it's only been a few moments since we played for you, our American legions, we cannot wait for this tour to start! It's gonna be the first headlining run supporting new music and we are bringing all the artillery, which means the biggest production thus far! 'Ecclesia Diabolica America 2018 e.v.' arrives soon and we WANT you to celebrate this sonic pandemonium with us!"

At The Gates front-man Tomas Lindberg adds: "At The Gates have not done a support tour since 1996. When we got invited to this tour, we immediately saw the logic to the package. This is three bands with their own unique sound, three bands totally dedicated to finding the core of their art. Three important bands. It all made sense to us, and we are flattered to be part of this. I truly believe that this is THE ONE tour not to miss this year. Get ready to drink from the night itself together with us."
