Behemoth have issued a new update from the studio. Their new album is nearing completion as they gear up for this summer's Mayhem Fest.
The band has been working in Poland's Hertz Studios on their 10th full length album. There were reports a few months ago that the band was considering enlisting Ross Robinson to produce the record, but I guess that never happened as this update reveals they are producing the album themselves with the help of the Wieslawscy brothers and Daniel Bergstrand (who the band has previously worked with).
Nergal offered the following update:
"Every piece of art is born in pain…and so is ours. We've spent last couple of months on pre-production and tracking down the songs in Hertz studio. We are producing the album collectively with help of Wieslawscy brothers and Daniel Bergstrand. We are driven by a mystery… exploring territories that have been unknown to us up until now. It feels exciting and very refreshing to redefine our style and yet make a strong fuckin' statement. Wait and hear…"
Beyond that statement the band has been posting statuses to their Facebook page that seem to be lyrics from the new album. For example:
"…At faintest whim they would impale the Sun
and thus the sheep in me became the wolf in man
I am the fly that flew forth from the ark
My thoughts like insects
Whoring wounds divine…"
Beyond the lyrics, the band has been posting photos all of which include the caption "Magick is happening…," could the album title be Magick? That's pure speculation on my part. Here are some more photos of the band in the studio:
