context_page_description: Behemoth is a Polish blackened death metal band from Gdańsk, formed in 1991. They are considered to have played an important role in establishing the Polish extreme metal underground.
  Until the late 1990s, the band played a traditional black metal style with heathen lyrical content, but soon changed to that of occult and thelemic themes written by their lead vocalist Nergal and Krzysztof Azarewicz. With the 1999 release of Satanica, the band demonstrated their presence in the death metal scene, while retaining their own signature style characterized by the drum work of Inferno, multi-layered vocals, and Middle Eastern influences. Despite Behemoth having been labeled as death metal or thrash metal-influenced, Nergal has mentioned that he does not like the band to be labeled.
context_section_description: In 2016, the band announced that they would start working on the follow-up to The Satanist. In early 2017, Nergal started posting clips of riffs on his Instagram account. He also revealed that the band would release a new "live DVD", recorded in Warsaw, later that year. In a May 2017 interview, Nergal said that the band had "ten or thirteen, already, sketches of new songs" for the new album, with an estimated release date in the fall of 2018. The band entered the studio in November 2017 to record their eleventh studio album.
  On January 22, 2018, Behemoth was announced as one of the supporting acts for Slayer's final world tour.
  On April 13, 2018, the live concert DVD Messe Noire was released as a conclusion to The Satanist touring cycle.
  On August 2, 2018, the band released "God = Dog", the first single from I Loved You at Your Darkest, which came out on October 5, 2018. With the album releases, the band is set to go on the North American Tour on October 20, 2018.
  In August 2019, the band was announced as the support act for Slipknot's 2020 European tour.
