Every year, thousands of metalheads converge on France for one of the biggest metal festivals in existence. Hellfest is a force to be reckoned with and an unforgettable show to boot. It looks like this year's event will be no exception.
Take a look see at the bands announced so far down below. If you like what you see, prepare yourselves for one helluva show (pun intended) June 20th - 22nd. The festival will take place in Clisson, France. If you're able to go, you better go.
So Behemoth fans, I have some good news and some bad news. The Polish blackened death metal masters have announced that their newest album, and first since frontman and mastermind Nergal’s recent struggles with Leukemia, “The Satanist” and it’s subsequent tour headlining tour has been delayed. Originally scheduled for this fall, the album and tour have been delayed to early 2014.
Here’s the bands official statement:
__________________________________________________________________________________
“The release of Polish extreme metal masters BEHEMOTH’s upcoming tenth studio album »The Satanist« that has previously been announced for this fall has now been postponed to early 2014 and will be accompanied by an extensive headlining tour – further information including the exact dates to follow soon!
Until then, the only chance to catch BEHEMOTH live in Europe after their forthcoming show at Czech Brutal Assault Festival on August 10 will be their exclusive show at German “Metal Hammer Paradise” from November 15 to November 16. For further information, visit www.metal-hammer-paradise.de.”

Considering the fact that longtime drummer and absolute beast Inferno is recovering from surgery and unable to perform live, and considering that Behemoth cancelled their Mayhem slot because of this: choosing instead to only perform the few European festival dates with a replacement, I’d bet that Inferno’s absence is the cause for the delay. It’s unfortunate that we have to wait longer, but I totally am behind bands standing together as a united force. Behemoth seems to be gathering their strength and I assume Nergal knows what its like to be in Infernos position better than anyone.
Good news! At their last couple festivals Behemoth has been playing a new song, presumably from “The Satanist” titled ‘Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel.’ And it’s awesome. I love it. Aside from the wah pedal used on the solo, (I really hate wah effects. I’m not sorry) I have nothing negative to say. Nergal sounds fantastic, the riffs and writing are metal as can be, and the percussion is fantastic and I’m sure will sound even better when it’s Inferno smashing those drums. Also I need to get to a European festival, look at that performance, fire and lights galore!
Ohhhh yeeeah! Polish Black Metal champions Behemoth are officially set to make a return this Fall! It's been a little while since the release of 2009's "Evangelion" so this more than welcome news. So far, the official title and some other tidbits of info have been made public. The album will be named "The Satanist". Seems appropriate. Check the band's recent statement down below for additional info and stay tuned for that metal \m/ In the mean time, you can also jam some Behemoth greats down below!
"Pick up the June/July issue of Revolver Magazine featuring Metallica on the cover to read an in-depth studio report from Nergal
BEHEMOTH, who have been holed up in Hertz Studios working on their tenth full-length album, are pleased to announce the title of their forthcoming full-length album—THE SATANIST. The album will come out in the fall of 2013—stay tuned for more studio updates, music, preorder info and more at metalblade.com/behemoth.
"It took us over two decades to come up with a title that…says it all. While our new songs artistically take surprisingly adventurous directions, our message stands steadfast—Proud and Radical. THE SATANIST stands for undying yearning for liberation and love for freedom in all aspects of life. Considering all our life experiences that often took dramatic curves I couldn't think of more appropriate and fitting statement of who and where we are now” comments BEHEMOTH front man Nergal."
So, the line up of Mayhem Festival 2013 has officially been announced and it's looking like a year worth going to. Usually the Festival is hit or miss, but they brought on Mastodon, Amon Amarth, Machine Head, Children of Bodom, Behemoth, Job for a Cowboy, and Born of Osiris among others for the event this summer.
Not to say there aren't some less favorable additions. Should be hilarious to see Emmure take the stage before Behemoth.
Check out the flyer along with some heavy music down below. And if you want to go to Mayhem 2013, be sure to head over to their Official Website and grab some tickets sooner than later!
