On December 17th legendary blackened death metal Behemoth released their new live album In Absentia Dei (which translates to “In the absence of God”). The show was filmed on a fateful night in 2020, in an abandoned church in rural Poland during a worldwide livestream, whilst in the depths of the COVID pandemic. This event is now available in multiple formats for your unholy consumption. In a performance fraught with danger, Behemoth unleashed their malevolent demons into the night, filling the empty pews with Baphomet, Azazel, and Apollyon himself in a place once considered holy and sacred. The band certainly made a statement with this event in a triumphant moment for extreme metal, considering that Poland still maintains strict blasphemy laws, the tension is palpable.
Behemoth’s prolific live album/BluRay is out now!
