Polish blackened death metal legends Behemoth have dropped their latest single, "Lvciferaeon," the third incendiary offering from their forthcoming album The Shit ov God , set to drop on May 9 . Accompanied by a powerful new video, the track is now available for streaming on all major platforms.
Announced in the midst of ongoing protest activity surrounding the band’s Unholy Trinity Tour , the timing of the release feels deliberately charged. Frontman Nergal and company embrace the symbolism of Lucifer—long a recurring figure in their lyrical and visual iconography—as a representation of resistance, rebellion, and the flawed beauty of humanity. In their words, “Lucifer has been a recurring symbol for us over our three decades of existence – a symbol of defiance and humanity in contrast to the divine ideal. Our fight continues!”
With The Shit ov God , Behemoth promise their “most inflammatory and extreme record to date,” a bold claim from a band whose entire career has been built on pushing boundaries. The eight-track offering dives deep into themes of humanity, divinity, and defiance , challenging the very structures that hold power—be they religious, political, or societal.
Musically, “Lvciferaeon” brings Behemoth’s signature blackened assault with renewed venom, showcasing haunting atmospheres, unrelenting blast beats, and Nergal’s growled declarations of war against the sacred. The track is both a sonic and thematic cornerstone for what promises to be one of the most controversial records of the year.
Pre-orders for The Shit ov God are live now, with limited edition formats available ahead of the May 9 release. For fans of Behemoth’s rawest and most confrontational work, this is not one to miss.
Watch the “Lvciferaeon” video and embrace the flame of rebellion.
🔥 The war is far from over. Behemoth marches on.
