Minions of the Watch

Set Abominae

Poland's most blasphemous and entertaining export, BEHEMOTH, are set to make their much anticipated return to North America this spring on "The Invaluable Darkness Tour Part 2: Legions of the Chosen Few" as direct support to Dimmu Borgir. The month-long trek, which kicks off on April 2nd, also features Keep of Kalessin in the support slot and marks BEHEMOTH's third stateside run in support of The Apostasy. See below or visit www.myspace.com/behemoth to view their complete touring itinerary.

Nergal (vocals, guitars) states: "We've always been big Dimmu fans, plus I've known the guys since early 90's and we've remained friends ever since. Silenoz (Dimmu Borgir guitarist) and I have been thinking about putting together this package for a long time now. The idea was to create the most lethal bill and bring evil back to States! For BEHEMOTH it's gonna be the last tour of North American for The Apostasy touring cycle. I'm stoked. I'm more than sure that fans will totally dig this package. We've got some surprises ready for this event, so hopefully you are all ready for it. See you all there.

"We just finished shooting a video for another song from The Apostasy. Picking 'At The Left Hand Ov God' as our next single seemed to be a natural choice. We wanted to do something new and refreshing. This is the most epic clip we've ever done. Darek Szczepanski from Group 13, a company based in Wroclaw, Poland, was in charge for the production. We had 20 people working for us for two days, 15 hours straight. Sit tight and get ready for something huge and disturbing!"

There is no doubt in anyone's mind that BEHEMOTH emerged from 2007 as the definitive band within the extreme metal genre. The group became Ozzfest 2007's most talked about act and followed that up with the massive Radio Rebellion Tour, co-headlining alongside Job For A Cowboy that further solidified their status as one of the genre's most explosive, premiere live acts. They have also performed over 150 shows this year and show no signs of slowing down anytime soon as their highly acclaimed album, The Apostasy, remains on pace to become their highest selling effort yet.
