The uncensored version of the latest BEHEMOTH video, for the track 'Alas, Lord Is Upon Me', has been banned from YouTube.

The censored version of the video is still available online, and can be viewed below. 'Alas, Lord Is Upon Me' video was filmed by Grupa 13 in Poland, the same people behind Behemoth's last videos, 'At The Left Hand Ov God' and 'Ov Fire And The Void'.

In a recent interview with Gazeta.pl, Nergal, leader of Behmoth says that he is taking his illness at face value.

Gazeta Wyborcza: Are you that strong or pretend to be?

Nergal: "Let's just say that the shit inflicted a very strong mother-fucker (laughs).Most serious illnesses like mine are healed by positive thinking. I don't rely on faith, but on strong belief in myself. I take my sickness at face value thanks to which I understand and learn more.

People ask themselves, what's next? What's the goal or reference? When they realize that it is the vermin in the ground, suddenly they're overcome with emptiness. I deal with this since the beginning. I don't care about the ideologies guaranteeing salvation and happiness after death. I live according to my own aspirations and needs. You can call it self-righteousness, I feel I am fair to myself and people around me. I try not to hurt anybody."

A previous update from Nergal reads:

"Dear All,

I’d like to announce that Behemoth won’t be able to tour for the forseeable future. I don’t wanna bore you with details here, but I’m sick and am receiving some serious medical treatment.

It’s gonna take another few weeks or more for full recovery, and so we have been forced to cancel all the Behemoth shows in August, planned dates in Russia and Baltic States for September and October and our American tour in November.

I know how much it sucks but health comes first. I can assure all of you that when we return, I’ll be stronger than death, and we’ll reschedule every tour as soon as logistics allow.

I feel good and strong, my mind is focused, I've got my loving woman by my side, my band mates, friends (never thought there are so many, haha), management, agents and label people are giving me massive support. I can’t ask for more but a little patience now.

The fact that we won’t be touring for the next few months doesn’t mean we’ll hibernate. Behemoth will be active on several other levels. In upcoming days you can expect the premiere of our newest video, 'Alas, Lord Is Upon Me' which is by far the sickest fuckin’ thing we’ve ever done!

Evangelia Heretika DVD is coming out as scheduled in November this year. Also, check out our Webstore that opens for international markets in upcoming weeks. This is it for now. Stay tuned!”

Behemoth will be unleashing the group’s second-ever DVD, titled Evangelia Heretika, this fall, 2010. More details, such as DVD content, video clips, and pre-order information will be made available in the coming weeks.

Nergal commented: “We’ve been through hell and back to make this release happen. I know we only have a few DVD’s in our catalogue so far but they are not even close to what you are gonna experience with Evangelia Heretika! Expect approximately 5 hours of essential Behemoth. Long-time Behemoth artistic collaborator, Graal, has provided us with some of his most disturbing and completed vision to date.”

Evangelia Heretika will be released in North America via Metal Blade Records, in Europe via Nuclear Blast Records, and in Poland via Mystic Records.
