Sweden's Access:Rock spoke with Adam "Nergal" Darski from Polish black metallers BEHEMOTH prior to their performance yesterday (Friday, August 9th) at the Getaway Rock festival in Gävle, Sweden.

Behemoth debut the brand new song, 'Blow Your Trumpet Gabriel', at the Getaway Rock festival. Watch for video footage to appear soon!

The release of Behemoth’s upcoming tenth studio album, The Satanist, that was previously announced for this fall has now been postponed to early 2014 and will be accompanied by an extensive headlining tour. Further information including the exact dates to follow soon.

Until then, the only chance to catch Behemoth live in Europe will be their exclusive show at Germany's Metal Hammer Paradise from November 15th to November 16th. For further information, visit Metal-Hammer-Paradise.de.

Regarding the title of the new album, Nergal recently stated: "It took us over two decades to come up with a title that…says it all. While our new songs artistically take surprisingly adventurous directions, our message stands steadfast—Proud and Radical. The Satanist« stands for undying yearning for liberation and love for freedom in all aspects of life. Considering all our life experiences that often took dramatic curves I couldn't think of more appropriate and fitting statement of who and where we are now."

Behemoth recently announced an Australian tour in October with HOUR OF PENANCE. There's no word yet if the album delay has affected the tour schedule, but dates are currently booked as follows:

24 - Capitol - Perth, Australia
25 - The Esplanade Hotel - Melbourne, Australia
26 - The Manning Bar - Sydney, Australia
27 - The Hifi - Brisbane, Australia
29 - Kings Arms - Auckland, New Zealand

Stay tuned for updates.
