BEHEMOTH’s Orion Says “There Will Be New Music”
April 26, 2016, 8 years ago
SkullsNBones has posted a new interview with Behemoth bassist Orion before their show in New York City on April 23rd.
An excerpt below:
SkullsNBones: Speaking of the “process,” Nergal said last year he didn’t know if a new Behemoth album would happen, but then we saw a few months ago that the “process” had begun again. What’s the latest?
Orion: “People freaked out over that statement, but it’s not as serious as people took it. If you read the whole article, he was just saying nothing is promised. We may not have a tomorrow, you may not have a tomorrow, so that’s all he was saying. We were talking about the next record when he made that statement, so that was blown way out of proportion. Do we want to make another Behemoth record? Of course we do. This is our life, but we will need some time before we begin that whole process over again. This is why we decided to finish The Satanist tour by the end of this year, and then we’ll probably take four or five months off from anything revolving around Behemoth. That’s just our mindset now, but the reality is, it could change tomorrow. There will be new music. It’s actually happening right now on the road. When we have time, we put our ideas together, but we are not just going to make a record because we ‘have’ to. The timing for all of us has to be right, but there will be new music.”
