Polish blackened death metal legends Behemoth have revealed their tenth full-length album will be titled The Satanist.
The Satanist will be the follow up to the 2009 epic Evangelion, and is set for release in spring 2013.
In a statement posted on the band’s Facebook page on May 31, mastermind Nergal made the following comments:
“It took us over two decades to come up with a title that…says it all. While our new songs artistically take surprisingly adventurous directions, our message stands steadfast—Proud and Radical. The Satanist stands for undying yearning for liberation and love for freedom in all aspects of life. Considering all our life experiences that often took dramatic curves I couldn’t think of more appropriate and fitting statement of who and where we are now.”
Behemoth have been working on The Satanist at Hertz Studios in Poland.
