Whilst Behemoth have softened the edge of their fury with more orchestration, backing vocals and synthesisers, Nergal (vocals and guitar), Orion (bass), Inferno (drums) and Seth (guitar) have lost none of their vigour: the four musicians remain undisputed icons of European heavy metal. Renowned for over thirty years for their transgressive lyrics and the power of their blend of black and death metal, the Polish band continue to cause a stir with every album release or international tour.

Every show by these timeless Hellfest veterans, made up to look like pallid sorcerers, evokes a satanic mass, always visually striking. This Hellfest gig is no exception: a pure display of raw power centred around *Opvs Contra Natvram*, an album released in 2022 which Nergal considers one of his most accomplished works, and *The Shit ov God*, released in 2025. You’ve been warned!
