In a thrilling announcement that has sent shockwaves through the metal community, Polish blackened death metal band Behemoth has unveiled their latest album, “Opus Contra Naturam,” set to release on November 15, 2024. This highly anticipated record marks the band’s first full-length offering since their critically acclaimed 2021 album, “I Loved You at Your Darkest.”
Hailing from Gdańsk, Behemoth has been a prominent force in the metal scene since the early 1990s.

Frontman Adam “Nergal” Darski described the new album as “a visceral journey through darkness and light,” suggesting that it reflects both personal and universal struggles. He emphasized the band’s desire to create a record that resonates with listeners on multiple levels, tackling themes of existence, nature, and the human condition.
In support of the album, Behemoth has announced an extensive world tour, kicking off in Europe before heading to North America in early 2025. Fans can expect a setlist filled with new material alongside classic tracks that have defined the band’s career. The tour is poised to be a monumental celebration of metal, featuring a visually stunning stage production designed to immerse audiences in Behemoth’s unique artistic vision.
The lead single from “Opus Contra Naturam,” titled “Eclipse of the Heart,” will debut on October 25, accompanied by a music video that promises to showcase the band’s signature aesthetic—dark, powerful, and hauntingly beautiful. With their relentless innovation and commitment to their craft, Behemoth continues to solidify their status as pioneers in the metal genre.
As excitement builds for the album and the upcoming tour, fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the next chapter in Behemoth’s storied career, ready to embrace the darkness and intensity that the band has become known for.
