PLEDGE YOUR SOUL TO BEHEMOTH… PLEDGE YOUR SOUL TO “LUCIFER!”

This weekend, Behemoth will return to the stage for the first time since Nergal was diagnosed with leukemia (if you live in Poland, you can dates here). And, as if to announce their return with the absolute maximum amount of impact and creepiness, the band has now released a totally awesome, totally unsettling video for “Lucifer,” the concluding track from their most recent studio album, Evangelion. I can’t tell you what the hell is going on in the video, but I can tell that as soon as I hit “play,” birds started falling from the sky right outside my window, and all my crops died. Whatever, could just be coincidence.

Check out the video below, although you shouldn’t do it at work, ’cause your co-workers probably will not appreciate the sight of a naked woman drenching herself in blood. Unless you work at Filene’s Basement… that’s place is EVIL!

Metal Blade will reissue Behemoth’s 2006 compilation of the band’s earliest recordings, Demonica, on November 22, complete with two new booklets that will collect rare photos and lyrics for the first time. You can get an mp3 of the track “Summoning of the Ancient Gods” and pre-order the reissue here.
