Video Premiere: BEHEMOTH's 'Wolves Ov Siberia'

06 September 2018

'Wolves Ov Siberia', the new video from Polish extreme metallers BEHEMOTH, can be seen below. The song is taken from the band's upcoming album, 'I Loved You At Your Darkest', which will be released on October 5 via Nuclear Blast.

While it certainly seems an unlikely title for a black metal band, its origin might surprise fans even more than the words themselves. "It's a verse from the Bible," frontman Nergal reveals. "It's actually a quote from Jesus Christ himself. For BEHEMOTH to use it as the basis of our record, it's sacrilege to the extreme."

Unlike 'The Satanist', which was primarily recorded in one studio, 'I Loved You At Your Darkest' saw its production spread across Poland and the United States. It was produced by the bandmembers themselves, with drum co-production by Daniel Bergstrand (MESHUGGAH, IN FLAMES), mixing by Matt Hyde (SLAYER, CHILDREN OF BODOM) and mastering by Tom Baker (NINE INCH NAILS, MARILYN MANSON).

Which is to say nothing of the 17-piece Polish orchestra arranged by Jan Stoklosa and engineered by Tomasz Budkiewicz. Or as Nergal sums it up: "Pretty much every instrument was recorded in a different studio, and a lot of amazing people were involved."
