BEHEMOTH frontman Adam “Nergal” Darski adds: “To say that we are dying to return on the road would be an understatement!

Last month, ARCH ENEMY released another new song, “House Of Mirrors”. Mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen, an accompanying music video for the track was directed by Grupa13.
“House Of Mirrors” marked the second new ARCH ENEMY track to be made available in four years, following the October 2021 arrival of “Deceiver, Deceiver”.
In the fall of 2018, Amott revealed that he had commenced the songwriting process for the follow-up to the “Will To Power” album. Released in 2017, that disc marked the second ARCH ENEMY LP since the departure of longtime singer Angela Gossow and addition of ex-THE AGONIST frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz. It was also the first ARCH ENEMY disc to feature former NEVERMORE guitarist Jeff Loomis, who joined the band in late 2014.
Jeff, who was the main songwriter in his previous group, NEVERMORE, was not involved in the writing for “Will To Power”.
BEHEMOTH released its latest full-length, “I Loved You At Your Darkest”, in 2018 to vast critical acclaim. “I Loved You At Your Darkest” marked a milestone in the history of the band, being not only their most successful album, but also an audiovisual masterpiece: from its detailed, blasphemous artwork to the highly vicious yet deeply emotional tracks.
BEHEMOTH‘s latest EP, “A Forest”, came out in May 2020 via Metal Blade. The EP’s title track was a cover of THE CURE classic, and it featured a guest appearance by SHINING frontman Niklas Kvarforth. The “A Forest” EP also included a live version of the title track as well as two songs from the “I Loved You At Your Darkest” sessions.
BEHEMOTH supported SLIPKNOT on an arena tour of Europe in January and February 2020.
