Poland's BEHEMOTH have issued the following update:

Behemoth has just started mixing their new album, The Apostasy in Sweden's Dug-Out studio with Daniel Bergstrand (MESHUGGAH, IN FLAMES, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD).

(Mainman) Nergal has just checked in with the following report:

“Finally I made it to Sweden. I know, we owe you the new video report and some news but lately things were just insane here and physically I wasn’t able to deal with anything but recordings.

Last few weeks I spent in the studio in Poland were nothing but constant struggle. Tracking down the record for 3 months straight (!!!) led us to the point where we no longer were able to judge the results objectively. Needless to say, it was me who fanatically tried to complete the recordings with the best possible result. It took me some time to realize that I could go on like this… forever. I’m happy I finally said STOP so we could move on. I still lack objectivism and all I have now is pure faith that THIS is so far the most completed record we’ve ever committed as a band.

The performance on The Apostasy is simply awesome and I have to say that we have really outdone ourselves this time. Anyway, I’m here in up in the north of this beautiful country, in a little town Uppsala. Daniel is currently putting the final touches to drums. Earlier today we compared this to our last record “Demigod”. And let me tell you something… we REALLY beat that record! Drums sound sooo tight and intense that’s almost impossible to keep up tempo, ha ha. I already see these comments saying that’s humanly impossible to play THAT fast and technical, ha ha. We are starting with guitars and bass tomorrow. Also today I managed to download guest vocals to the song called “Inner Sanctum” but I’m not gonna reveal any names, yet. Sit tight and be surprised. Cross fingers my friends! I’ll be back shortly with a longer update and hopefully some video footage from the studio!”

Behemoth are expected to release their new album in late July. Stay tuned for further updates.
