Behemoth Announces Title Of Upcoming Album

Polish extreme metalers Behemoth have set Evangelion as the title of their 9th full-length studio album due out this summer. Evangelion marks the follow up to the bands extremely successful 2007 release The Apostasy; a release which saw Behemoth acquire the supporting slot to second stage headliners Hatebreed on Ozzfest which also featured Lamb Of God, Lordi, and Nile just to name a few. Following Ozzfest, Behemoth co-headlined the Radio Rebellion Tour with Job for a Cowboy with support from Gojira and Beneath the Massacre with the band's final North American tour being a direct support slot to Norwegian legends, Dimmu Borgi. After a short break for writing, Behemoth entered Radio Gdansk in Poland to begin recording. Evangelion see's Behemoth, Daniel Bergstrand and Woytek and Slawek Wieslawscy as producers with Colin Richardson (Machine Head, Slipknot, Napalm Death, Carcass) set to mix the album.

Here's what frontman Nergal has to say; “I've had this title in my head for almost a year now and it grew on me. It sounds nothing but powerful and epic which perfectly mirrors the essence of the new album. Evangelion comes from a Greek word ‘Spreading the word of God' or ‘spreading the good news'…oh well, you already know that we love to play with the meanings and symbolism. We're here to show you our interpretation of what Evangelion really is.”

In support of the band's 9th full-length studio album Evangelion, Behemoth will be touring on what is sure to be this summer's largest and most bone crushing metal festival; the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival. Behemoth will be conquering the Hot Topic stage alongside label mates Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, Job For A Cowboy and Whitechapel on over 25 dates this summer so make sure to catch the masters of blackened death metal live when they come to a city near you.

+1

[BobMarleysGhost]

Dimmu Borgi is the plural of Dimmu Borgir.

I mean, how rediculous would "Dimmu Borgirs" sound?

[lama163]

well, I hope it's gonna be good. The Apostasy was off the ****ing hook, but the latest single (Ezkaton) sucked IMHO... Well, I'm looking forward to getting my ass kicked by behemoth ))

[Trynstopme]

MOAR SPELLCHEKZ PLEAZZ!

lol. seriously. What the hell is with this spelling shit? Dimmu Borgi? Band names are singular. Reguardless of how awkward it sounds - bands are a single entity, the plural of Dimmu Borgir is Dimmu Borgirs.

oh. and im glad im not the only one who caught both Killswitch Engag and All That Remain. theyre screwing with us in some way.

That said...i cant wait for Behemot live in Chicag on the Mayhe tour. and the new album, Evangelio is going to kick ass.

Actually I was just making a poor joke.

[RUSTDOGG666]

there is not a damn thing wrong with these guys. Go Behemoth. Real Metal. Cant wait for the album.

[CaptnWar]

These dudes are just awesome...
They played in my hometown two years ago. (London, Ontario)
The place was a shithole, not even 50 people in the crowd. The stage was too small for them to pose like usual. I'm still surprised they didn't just leave before they even played.
I was so damn close though, I got hit in the face nearly ten times by Orion's rubber chaps.

[MANTAJAZZ]

these dudes are mentally children as any other death metal band is(except morbid angel :)

[dedguy666]

I can't seem to get into these guys for some reason. Maybe I'm listening to the wrong songs or something. Can anyone recommend some songs? It would be a shame to go to Mayhem Fest and know all the other bands except for Behemoth.

LOLOLOL

[metallifreak77]

Haha when I saw the spelling error on Dimmu Borgir i just new us UG users couldn't let it slide, most the comments here are all about it haha!

Anyways, this album will surely kick ass, Behemoth is just badass Blackened Death metal at its best, im very excited for this. I want to see them at mayhem, but there are SOO many crappy bands there

[kevinm4435]

hmm, i wonder how hideaki anno will handle this.

"MOAR SPELLCHEKZ PLEAZZ!" Yet you seem to fail in spelling Behemoth ^_^

Anyway, can't freaking wait for this!! Evangelion is a baaaadasss album name!

[pantericadeth]

Hmm I like the new name. Can't wait!

[CarbonDeath]

I don't get it. The mayhem festival is supposed to have Slayer, Manson, Trivium as well. I just want to go to a cheap metal show with the couple of bands.

[Volkerball06]

[This Is Fun]

If Evangelion is even half as good as Demigod then I'll be more than happy.

Man, Dimmu Borgir will always be singular, its a band name, unless there are two Dimmu Borgirs?

[o d y s s e y]

NEON GENESIS ?!?

[Majin Gaara]

Eh... Behemoth is just meh. Pretty boring.

[Guitar_Dan_666]

Should be good, can't wait to hear it.

[l)ragonForce]

Saw behemoth with nile at ozzfest back in 06 or 07 cant remember but anyway dimmu borgir would be real tight to see as well, anyways can't wait to hear there new masterpiece at work

[AA00P]

Eargasmic music, but am I the only one who thinks their promo pictures are ridiculous?

[sk8ordie97]

id go see em but the only other band worth paying to see is CC
i mean come on marilyn manson? trivium? slayer?(not as bad but not a fav)BFMV?! WHITECHAPEL!? WTF?
this is supposed to be a metal concert not a scenster orgy

[pyritmann]

i dont understand why these bands have to dress so intense, and metal heads get mad at emo kids for wearing eyeliner, look what those dudes have on their faces. Their music may be good, but when i see bands looking like this its a major turn off for me, just seems like their trying way hard to be RAWWWRR BLACK DEATH METALLLL!!! AND DEATH!!

[cheetoque121]

HELL YEAH!
I hope it's gonna sound like Demigod or not.

Yes darling, I know, but it's still cringeworthy.

Chant for Eschaton was a re-recording.

Careful guys, we've got a funny one.

They dress up like that because it's music to go to war to. They don't do it to be poster boys.

He left out the last letters in the last sentence on purpose like UG did with Dimmu Borgir, All that remains, etc. So the joke's on you, buddy.

Anyways, I never really got into Behemoth, their riffs seem kinda lame and mediocre to me and I don't like Nergal's vocals that much...

[metalheadblues]

can't wait
yo yo yo no album art work as yettttt??
wtf bt behemoth is still supreme
