BEHEMOTH Launch Video Trailer #3 For Upcoming XXX Years Ov Blasphemy Livestream Extravaganza
October 29, 2021, 3 years ago
Polish heretics, Behemoth, are set to raise their own livestream bar this Halloween with the arrival of their next visual spectacular, XXX Years Ov Blasphemy, hosted by the premium social live media platform, Moment House. The event will mark their 30th Anniversary with three separate sets in three different locations, commemorating the band's three decades making music and art, with an unfettered dedication to a superior aesthetic.
The cinematic extravaganza is set for Halloween night, October 31, when the veil between our tangible existence and the netherworld is thin, so the spirits of the other side may enter. This year, that veil will be set ablaze by Behemoth's artistic and sonic black magick.
Watch a new video trailer:
Having blown everyone away with 2020's In Absentia Dei stream, arguably the most ambitious and critically lauded livestream of the year, Behemoth's legions know that the band don't do things by halves. Expect XXX Years Ov Blasphemy to be Behemoth's biggest, most extravagant production to date.
Behemoth's frontman and visionary Nergal states: "30 years of blasphemy and bring on 30 more! What better night than All Saint’s Eve to celebrate this most unholy Anniversary than with us, as we present the most ambitious project of our career to date, ’XXX Years Ov Blasphemy’. Legions, when I say this is the ultimate cinematic Behemoth experience, I cannot express how much I mean that. Another huge risk for us, but as always, we go feet first and push our limits. The result will be a sight to behold. We’ll see you in The Forest…and more!"
The event will air three times to allow legions all over the world to watch at the optimal time for them: 6 PM, JST/8 PM, AEDT (Asia, Australia, New Zealand), 6 PM, GMT (UK, Europe, Africa) and 6 PM, PDT / 9 PM, EDT (North & South America). Ticket holders will be able to watch the show via Video On Demand for 24hrs after the initial screening.
Secure your ticket for the night of all nights here.
With each set, Behemoth will showcase their glorious 30-year history and focus on each decade, starting with the early day of pagan and black metal sounds of Pandemonic Incantations through their international breakthroughs; The Apostasy and Evangelion, up to their most recent masterpiece, 2018's I Loved You At Your Darkest. Three times over, Behemoth will invoke musical demons from the past as they explore the depths of their discography. The event is directed by Dariusz Szermanowicz (G13 Production House).
Tickets are available now at an Early Bird discounted price of $16 until 4 PM, UK time on Friday, October 15. Standard ticket price of $20 applies thereafter. There will be a number of VIP ticket options available for those wanting more, including an Online Meet & Greet via Moment House, limited to 30 fans only. Each fan will get a 2-minute video call with the band (Nergal, Orion and Inferno), which will take place pre-stream, between 4 PM - 5 PM, UK time on October 31. Also available as an option is a post-show XXX Years Ov Blasphemy - Behind The Scenes bonus event for an additional $5. This is also available to watch on demand for 24hrs post-event. An array of event merchandise is also available, with the first 500 merch customers receiving a burning cross sticker in their parcel.
Behemoth are sharing another taste from 2020’s ground-breaking In Absentia Dei livestream spectacular with the hauntingly beautiful "Bartzabel", taken from their upcoming audio-visual album of the event, set for release on December 17 via Nuclear Blast Records.
The spectacle that is In Absentia Dei is testimony to the band's pioneering vision at the height of our global closure. The Polish masters of extreme metal took over an abandoned church in rural Poland to perform a sumptuous display of black metal magick. You can listen to the track and pre-order the release in a range of different formats here.
Behemoth frontman and visionary Nergal states, "In Absentia Dei was a massive challenge and a huge risk, but it was a great artistic and commercial success. The response was absolutely brilliant - we made a statement with this performance and set the bar high. I hope that we can continue to raise the bar with the projects to come!"
The spectacular set opens with "Evoe", which you can watch below.
