Behemoth will release their official biography Behemoth: Devil's Conquistadors on February 24, 2015 through Metal Blade Records. Written by Lukasz Dunaj, the biography is a 490 page, hardcover tome containing the history of the group and also qoutes and anecdotes of current and former members of the band, plus interviews with Tomas Krajewski, Rob Darken, Graal, Havok, and more. The artistically presented pages are splattered with rare photos of the band, flyers, lyric sheets, etc.
Here are a couple of preview excerpts:
From the foreword by Krzysztof Azarewicz: “If, as a cultural anthropologist, I were to point to a single cosmic force which Behemoth’s music expresses, I would name it not Satan but Dionysus. A deity that represents not only the intoxicating influence of cosmic energies and earthly benefits, but also their benevolent healing properties. A deity of strength and pride. A deity of creative might.”
Nergal discusses the acquisition of his first electric guitar: “The first communion was a very important moment for me. I know this sounds ridiculous, but it’s true. Of course, not as a religion experience – I didn’t understand anything and couldn’t care less. Same as all the other kids. We all stood there with our votive candles and waited for one thing. Cash. The first communion must be one moment when you get the most money you’re ever going to get as a child. And for this money, I bought myself my first electric guitar. Not a bike, no Legos – a guitar.”
A bundle including also an exclusive T-shirt is available ONLY with pre-orders. The bundle is to be pre-ordered here.
