Hot on the heels of the announcement of their new album I Loved You At Your Darkest (out on October 5th), Poland’s blasphemous metallers Behemoth have unveiled another new track and video from the upcoming LP, a song called “Wolves Ov Siberia”(watch below).
The new clip, which follows the previously released video for “God = Dog”, was directed by Kyle Kadow and Steve Cleavland. The video takes the song’s title quite literally, following a wolf as it slowly tracks an unsuspecting young lady foraging for food in the woods. It’s like Little Red Riding Hood told with a much different and bloodier ending.
In a statement, Behemoth leader Nergal said, “‘Wolves Ov Siberia’ was the first song unveiled from ILYAYD, we began playing it on tour in May of this year — the raw energy and dynamism of the song lent itself perfectly to a live context! The studio version doesn’t lose those fundamentals and now with our added intricacies, you will be able to hear the call to Ancient times…the devil is in the detail, after all.”
He added, “The video was purposefully very different from the well-recognised, Behemoth aesthetic — I wanted it to be chaotic, frenzied yet beautiful…I think this is mission accomplished and we’re really happy with the final product from Kyle Kadow and Steven Cleavland! Enjoy it!”
I Loved You At Your Darkest is available for pre-order here. As previously reported, Behemoth are set to kick off a headlining North American tour with At The Gates and Wolves In The Throne Room starting on October 20th.
