Messe Noire

It was back in 1991 in the Polish city of Gdansk that Adam “Nergal” Darski founded the death metal band Baphomet alongside his fellow musicians: drummer Adam “Baal” Muraszko and guitarist Adam “Desecrator” Malinowski. Little did they know that they would evolve into the sublime beast that is the black metal Behemoth. 26 years, 10 full length albums and numerous international tours later, Behemoth are gifting us with a new live release aptly entitled Messe Noire (“black mass”), an appellation extracted from the eminent 2014 album The Satanist.
