Behemoth

Behemoth announce new EP, on tour with Slipknot now

Behemoth are on a North American tour as we speak, opening for Slipknot (whose very good new album We Are Not Your Kind is out now), and after that they’ll go on a headlining European tour with Zeal & Ardor, Whoredom Rife, and In Twilight’s Embrace. Now, they’ve announced that they’ll put out a limited 10″ EP available only on that tour. Its title track is “O Pentagram Ignis,” which was previously released as a Japan-only bonus track to their 2018 album I Loved You At Your Darkest, and it also comes with live recordings of three songs from that album. Here’s more:

Behemoth’s new EP, titled “O Pantragram Ignis”, will be released this autumn. The 10″ vinyl will be release in two strictly limited editions: clear (333 copies) and white (333 copies). Each copy will be signed by Behemoth.

Behemoth’s EP Tracklist – “O Pentragram Ignis”:
Side A:
1. O Pentagram Ignis
2. Sabbath Mater (Live)
Side B:
1. Wolves ov Siberia (Live)
2. Ecclesia Diabolica Catholica (Live)

Nergal speaks about the upcoming concerts and the limited release: “The ECCLESIA DIABOLICA BALTICA tour will not only bring the most innovative concert production and a surprising setlist but will also offer new special merchandise made especially for this tour. A lot of things will be premiered and the most important one being the beautiful 10″ EP “O Pentagram Ignis”, which will be strictly limited, available ONLY during the concerts taking place in September and October! All copies will be signed by the band! Don’t miss out on this!”.

Behemoth’s North American tour with Slipknot, which also includes Gojira and Volbeat, hits the NYC-area this week, with shows at Jones Beach on Wednesday (8/28) and NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center on Friday (8/30) (tickets). Behemoth also recently revealed that they will open Slipknot’s 2020 Europe/UK tour too. All dates are listed below.
