There should be a considerable wait for Behemoth‘s follow-up to “The Satanist” as the band have yet to even start working on it. Frontman/guitarist Nergal told Browardpalmbeach.com of what the outfit have planned:
“…I think the future is good with thrills and… options. I’m not really counting on my future further than the touring cycle goes these days. That’s really it. We’re going to surprise people with some amazing projects in the coming months, but there’s no new record in sight, to be honest. I don’t know even when or where we’ll start working on it — it’s in the last position on my list of priorities.”
Despite it being low on his list of priorities, Nergal did later state:
“I think The Satanist gave us a foundation to go pretty much anywhere. It’s a very universal record, I’d say. We could go a little more rock-oriented, or we could go even more extreme. We have a lot of options that we can allow to develop, but it’s just way too soon to talk about it now.”
More interestingly however, Nergal also teased a project he has in the works outside of Behemoth:
“I’m actually working on a project now, but I don’t want to let much out about it yet. I’m always creating. I always do stuff on the side, and some of it’s not suitable for Behemoth, and I’ve got some other projects that will eventually see the light of day. Or not. Nothing is for certain! [laughs]”
When pressed for more details on how the project might sound, he replied:
“Very stripped down and simple. The most primitive, acoustic-based stuff. That’s what I’m really into.”
