To celebrate the release of their critically acclaimed new studio album The S**t Ov God, out today, Poland’s kings of extreme metal, BEHEMOTH, have shared a stunning music video for their latest single “Sowing Salt.”
Nergal said: “‘Sowing Salt’ is arguably one of the most brutal compositions in BEHEMOTH‘s catalog to date. Relentless. Uncompromising. Absolutely.
“The video was directed by Zev Deans, who we’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with before. He has created a visual that powerfully complements the song both musically and lyrically. And the lyrics? Just as radical and confrontational as the music itself.”
With the post-apocalyptic and retro-futuristic imagery dominating the clip, BEHEMOTH are breaking new ground without sacrificing the visual theme and thematic sharpness they have built over a career spanning more than three decades. Scroll down to watch the video for ‘Sowing Salt’.
Nergal previously said about the album: “I have reached a point in the journey of BEHEMOTH and my own creativity where words and explanations have less and less meaning. The true essence of who we are and what we stand for lies in our music, our art, our visuals, our sound, our performances and in the way we connect with you. I deeply believe that Behemoth embodies transcendent, timeless art. The number thirteen – so magical and meaningful. If this is our last album, I could walk away with pride. Without a doubt, this is the purest and clearest representation of BEHEMOTH. No filler, no superfluity – just the best we have to offer, for you. Hail Satan”
