BraveWords Preview: BEHEMOTH Frontman NERGAL On ME AND THAT MAN - "I've Never Said I Will Only Play Black Metal For My Entire Life"
December 11, 2021, 2 years ago
Following the chart-breaking and critically acclaimed antecedent, New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol.1 (2020), the new offering showcases an abundance of heavy music icons, but this time, it's taken to a whole new level. Experience the likes of Gary Holt (Slayer, Exodus), Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy), Mary Goore, Randy Blythe (Lamb Of God), Myrkur, Devin Townsend, David Vincent, Doug Blair (W.A.S.P), Hank von Hell (Turbonegro) and Olve 'Abbath' Eikemo (Immortal, Abbath) intertwining with the album’s collection of occult anthems. This symbiosis of unfiltered blues, gothic-laced folk, essence of dark outlaw country and a touch of evil you’ll swear was either beamed straight out of hell or the most blackened of churches.
Frontman Adam "Nergal" Darski (Behemoth) recently spoke with BraveWords about the new album. Following is an excerpt from the feature story, coming soon.
Nergal: "Me And That Man is growing and it's going well. People do seem to have caught on to it. The first album might have been quite confusing to some people (laughs) because it just came out of the blue. I think people have gotten used to it, and they know my skills are all over the place.I've never said I will only play black metal for my entire life. I keep myself very open to exciting projects. The last thing I want to be is a slave to the expectations of my fans. That is not happening. You're more than welcome to jump on this train, and if you don't like it just don't join."
