Polish blackened death metal band Behemoth have released a music video for the track \u2018Shadows Ov Ea Cast Upon Golgotha\u2019, which can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the song and video, frontman Adam \u2018Nergal\u2019 Darski commented: \u201c\u2018Shadows Ov Ea Cast Upon Golgotha\u2019 is the final piece of the puzzle to complete the \u2018ILYAYD\u2019 [October 2018 album I Loved You At Your Darkest<\/em>] cycle. An amazing album campaign for Behemoth, and this is its grand send off!<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce again, we collaborated with Grupa 13 and created a very cinematic script and vision. There are numerous references linking this new video and our previous videos for \u2018God = Dog\u2019 and other \u2018ILYAYD\u2019 videos. It\u2019s all high-end, unseen footage and has a cool and intriguing story running through it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Behemoth issued four-song EP A Forest<\/em> on May 29th, 2020 through the band\u2019s own New Aeon Musick label. The outing was made available in various formats and can be purchased here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The cover rendition of The Cure\u2019s \u2018A Forest\u2019 features guest vocals from Shining frontman Niklas Kvarforth. The EP also includes a live version of the title track recorded at Progresja in Warsaw, Poland on December 14th, 2018, as well as two previously unreleased Behemoth songs recorded during the I Loved You At Your Darkest<\/em> album sessions.<\/p>\n

Adam \u2018Nergal\u2019 Darski commented: \u201cCovering music outside of metal is a challenge – covering legendary music is an even greater challenge… that is what drove us throughout this process. A lot of bands try it and a lot of bands fail; subjectively, I love the outcome and it [\u2018A Forest\u2019] ranks amongst my favourite Behemoth covers alongside Killing Joke\u2019s \u2018Total Invasion\u2019 and Siekiera\u2019s \u2018Ludzie Wschodu\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the second time in 2020, I\u2019ve recruited Niklas Kvarforth from Shining. Niklas\u2019 psychotic appearance, attitude and vibe was a key element to our representation of the music and the only man who could give the performance the same depth as the original.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn top of this, the A Forest<\/em> EP contains two brand new Behemoth songs, \u2018Shadows Ov Ea Cast Upon Golgotha\u2019 and \u2018Evoe\u2019. The tracks act as a continuation on from I Loved You At Your Darkest<\/em> – no more, no less. We hope this brings some respite for anyone struggling during these strange times on our planet! Stay safe, stay positive, Hail Satan!\u201d<\/p>\n
