“PRETTY DAMN METAL” - Decibel

“BEHEMOTH HAVE MASTERED A NEW ELEMENT OF THEIR REPERTOIRE THAT PLAINLY ASSERTS THAT THEY ARE ONE OF THE MOST COMPLETE ARTISTS IN ANY GENRE.” - Knotfest
BEHEMOTH are proud to present ‘In Absentia Dei’ as Blu Ray, Vinyl and CD for the first time. The ground-breaking immersive livestream spectacular which first broadcast in September 2020 from Poland offered fans a much welcomed escape during the height of the pandemic. The event was said to set a new standard for streaming events in the future and this was something Behemoth set out to achieve from the start, Nergal explains:
‘In Absentia Dei was a massive challenge and a huge risk, but it was a great artistic and commercial success. The response was absolutely brilliant - we made a statement with this performance and set the bar high. I hope that we can continue to raise the bar with the projects to come!’
Produced by Grupa 13, In Absentia Dei was presented as a show of four parts within the ancient walls of an ancient and abandoned church in rural Poland. The show was woven with high-production theatrics and even a hellish flames emanating from all parts of the sacred building.
Parts of the performance may offend – you have been warned.
