Behemoth have announced a new full-length release titled I, Scvlptor, due out September 4th via Massacre Records on CD, vinyl, and cassette, as well as a limited box set. The eight-song effort is slated for pre-order on June 1st, at which time the cover art and tracklist will be revealed.
Behemoth band leader Nergal said, “I, Scvlptor is Behemoth’s latest full-length release — an autonomous work that bridges our past with what is new and fresh. It features brand-new, previously unreleased tracks that embody the full force of our live energy, intensity, and the fire that has driven this band for decades.”
He continued, “We also revisited our earliest material, reshaping it with a modern edge while preserving its ancient spirit. I, Scvlptor is equally a tribute to the artists and bands without whom Behemoth would never have existed. Get ready for 40 minutes of a sonic pilgrimage forged at the highest level!”
Massacre Records’ Thomas Hertler added, “Behemoth are one of the most powerful and iconic forces in extreme metal, and we could not be more honoured to bring I, Scvlptor to their fans on CD and vinyl worldwide. This is a landmark moment for our label, and we are fully committed to giving this release the presentation it deserves.”
Behemoth are currently finishing up a North American tour with support from Deicide, Rotting Christ, and Immolation (see our photos from the New York City show earlier this month). Tickets to the remaining shows are available here.
