Behemoth is a Polish blackened death metal band from Gdansk, founded in 1991 by guitarist and vocalist Adam 'Nergal' Darski - the only original member still in the lineup. Starting out in raw black metal, the band gradually shifted toward a denser fusion of black and death metal, and is widely credited with helping shape the Polish extreme metal scene. Their 2014 album 'The Satanist' is considered a landmark of the genre, and the band's elaborate theatrical live shows have made them one of the most recognizable acts in extreme metal worldwide.
Behemoth announced The Godless IV North American tour for April-May 2026, with Deicide, Rotting Christ and Immolation as support acts.
An expanded reissue of the 1998 album 'Pandemonic Incantations' was released on September 12, 2025 via Metal Blade Records, featuring seven bonus tracks and a 20-page booklet.
Behemoth released their 13th studio album 'The Shit Ov God' on May 9, 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Behemoth headlined the Unholy Trinity European tour alongside Satyricon and Rotting Christ, running from April 4 to April 27, 2025 across cities including Vienna, Berlin, Paris, London, Stockholm, Helsinki and Prague.
Behemoth announced 'The Shit Ov God' as their 13th studio album, with Nuclear Blast Records set to release it in May 2025.
