Me And That Man, the blues/dark folk/Americana project from Behemoth mastermind, Adam 'Nergal' Darski, will release their new studio album, New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol. 2, via Napalm Records this Friday, November 19.

In a new interview with Guitar World, Nergal talks to Greg Prato about gear, leading a double life in both bands, tapping up his guitar heroes for Me And That Man's new LP, and his future plans. An excerpt follows:

Guitar World: What's your guitar setup for Me And That Man?

“It’s very simple. I have some pedals - the names I don’t remember, because they were made custom for me. What is set in stone is always the same combination, it’s a Peavey Combo, vintage something - I’m so bad with names - and Gretsch guitars. I’m endorsed by Gretsch - I’ve been a huge fan of those guitars. I call them ‘jewels’ - they’re not really guitars, they’re jewels. They’re just beautiful pieces of art. When people think of Me And That Man, I want them to see a Gretsch. And when people see a Gretsch, they think of Me And That Man.”

Guitar World: How does it differ from your setup in Behemoth?

“You don’t want to hear any Behemoth song played with my Me And That Man set-up. We could never pull off anything – because it would sound like… someone farted! [Laughs]  Of course, there are no secrets - with Behemoth, it’s a high-gain band. You’ve got to have this sustain and punch. You can’t do that with the Me And That Man setup. So, it’s basically two opposite worlds - because the music comes from two opposite angles. I mean, you can compare it… But what’s the purpose? It’s not going to work.”

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.

New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol.2 will be available in the following formats:

- 1 CD Sleevepack
- 1 LP Gatefold Vinyl Black
- 1 LP Gatefold Vinyl Sun Yellow (Napalm Records worldwide exclusive)
- 1 LP Earbook Marbled Black/Gold “Die Hard Edition” + 48pages booklet + slip mat (Napalm Records worldwide exclusive)
