Following the announcement of their new album, The S**t Ov God, BEHEMOTH have unleashed their latest single, “The Shadow Elite,” alongside a gripping music video.
On an exclusive invite-only basis, the band’s legionnaires gathered at a secret location for a raw, primal live performance. Branded and tattooed with BEHEMOTH’s sigils, the band’s most dedicated fans, known as “The Shadow Elite”, form a chaotic scene as the band performs from within a cage.
Marking Ash Wednesday in true BEHEMOTH fashion, “The Shadow Elite” channels their early roots with relentless blast beats and searing tremolo riffs, a ferocious testament to their signature sound.
Nergal commented: “‘The Shadow Elite’ is the second single and the opening track from our thirteenth album, The S**t ov God. A raw, high-energy anthem with a relentless drive—a banger built for the stage!
Lyrically, it’s a call to arms—a fearless battle cry for outcasts, anarchists, and free minds to rise. We will not be silenced. It’s about uniting and summoning the courage to embrace and amplify the fire of freedom that burns within us!”
The S**t Ov God is set for May 9 release via Nuclear Blast Records.
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”
