Behemoth are a Polish extreme metal band from Gdańsk, founded in 1991 by guitarist and vocalist Adam 'Nergal' Darski. Starting out in black metal, they gradually shifted toward blackened death metal, building a sound defined by dense, ritualistic intensity. Albums such as 'Demigod' (2004) and 'The Satanist' (2014) secured their place at the top of the international extreme metal scene, and with 13 studio albums to their name they rank among Poland's most globally recognised metal acts.
Behemoth released their 13th studio album 'The Shit Ov God' on May 9, 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir announced in November 2025 a joint European co-headline tour, 'In League With Satan', scheduled for October 2026 with Dark Funeral as support.
Behemoth performed 'The Unholy Trinity' tour in Europe in April 2025 with Satyricon and Rotting Christ as guests.
Behemoth announced in January 2025 the title single and album title 'The Shit Ov God' as the successor to 'Opvs Contra Natvram' from 2022.
Drummer Inferno had to cancel Behemoth's European summer tour 2024 due to health problems; Jon Rice from Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats stepped in as a replacement.
