Nergal comments the new single:
“I, Scvlptor” is a new Behemoth song rooted in the tradition of monumental tracks like “O Father O Satan O Sun!”, “Lucifer” or “Nieboga Czarny Xiądz”, while at the same time opening a new chapter. It carries that epic weight but also takes an unexpected turn that makes it feel fresh and different from the previous pieces. Lyrically, it is a metaphor for the endless process of shaping oneself – an uneven struggle with matter and personal limitations. The paradox is that from the moment we are born we are already destined to die, so perhaps it is not about victory itself, but about the constant act of sculpting who we are”.
“I, Scvlptor”, which will be out 04 September 2026, is an exclusive release featuring 8 previously unreleased songs – 7 new studio recordings and 1 live track. It is an autonomous body of work that bridges the band’s foundational past with their present creative fire. The release features brand-new studio material embodying the full force of Behemoth’s live energy and intensity. Two tracks – Rise of the Blackstorm of Evil (from The Return of the Northern Moon, 1992) and In Thy Pandemaeternum (from Pandemonic Incantations, 1998) – are newly re-recorded versions of early Behemoth material, reshaped with modern sonics while preserving their original spirit; a tribute to the bands who had a huge influence on Behemoth: In League With Satan (originally by Venom, feat. Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir) and The Return of Darkness and Evil (originally by Bathory, feat. Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ). Available on CD, LP, MC and Limited-Edition Box Set through Massacre Records worldwide and in digital via Nuclear Blast.

On the release, Nergal says:
“We’re fucking excited about the release of “I, Scvlptor”. Even though it’s not a regular studio album and is, in fact, more of a compilation, the mere fact that it contains songs nobody has ever heard before makes it a significant release for us. What’s more, some of these tracks are likely a little different from what we offered on our last album, “The Shit Ov God”. That’s why we see “I,Scvlptor” as an important record — a connecting piece, a bridge between where we are now and whatever may come next in the distant future.”
Tracklist:
1. I, Scvlptor
2. Lord ov the Horizons
3. Rise of the Blackstorm of Evil
4. In Thy Pandemaeternum

About Behemoth
Formed in Gdańsk, Poland in 1991, Behemoth are one of the most important and influential extreme metal acts of all time. Fronted by the visionary Adam Nergal Darski, the band have spent over three decades pushing the boundaries of black and death metal – building a global fanbase through uncompromising artistry, incendiary live performances, and a catalogue of landmark records. From their first Billboard 200 entry with The Apostasy (2007) to the record-breaking No. 34 debut of The Satanist (2014) – one of the highest-charting black or death metal albums in Billboard 200 history – through to The Shit Ov God debuting at No. 1 in Poland and No. 19 in Germany in 2025, Behemoth stand as both commercial titans and true underground icons. Their live pedigree is equally formidable: the band shared the stage with Slayer on multiple occasions during the legendary farewell tour, including the North American and Australian legs.
