Behemoth's Nergal and Lucien Greaves from The Satanic Temple and Netflix’s Hail Satan invite you to join them as they sit down and discuss what it is to be a Satanist in 2020. Heavy Metal vs The Church brought to you by World Metal Congress.
Behemoth's In Absentia Dei, a groundbreaking immersive livestream spectacular, will broadcast on September 5 from a secret church location in Poland.
In Absentia Dei will be streamed in high definition 4K, with an immersive experience option, allowing viewers to choose from 8 different camera angles in the multi-camera shoot or watch the "Director's Cut". Tickets for this theatrical extravaganza are available here. Parts of the performance may offend, so the footage is only recommended for fans 18+.
Special guests at the event will be mysterious black metal avantgardeists, Imperial Triumphant, whose set will come from The Slipper Room in New York City.
Behemoth frontman and visionary, Nergal informs us: "We bring a new offering for our faithful Legions! You've seen Behemoth in many places across the globe, but never before in the Holy Church. This is a truly innovative event of which the likes have not been seen before. There will be ritual, there will be sacrilege and all from the comfort of your home.
