Behemoth‘s new effort “I, Scvlptor” has newly met its official release. While not a traditional full-length outing, the Polish blackened death metal outfit have been giving it the grand treatment, having just issued the below Dariusz Szermanowicz-directed music video for the featured cover of Venom‘s 1981 track “In League With Satan“. Dimmu Borgir vocalist Shagrath guests on that rendition.
Behemoth vocalist/guitarist Nergal previously said of “I, Scvlptor“
“’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 Xiadz‘, 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.”
