BEHEMOTH released a video for their track “Nomen Barbarvm”, a song from their latest album, The Shit Ov God. The apocalyptic video, directed was by Dariusz Szermanowiczr.

Watch “Nomen Barbarvm” below.

BEHEMOTH frontman Adam “Nergal” Darski comments, “‘I create as I speak.’ Isn’t that, in essence, Crowley‘s ‘Do what thou wilt’ — just cast in slightly different words? This idea became the lyrical leitmotif of ‘Nomen Barbarvm’, arguably one of the most melodic, yet also deeply groove-driven tracks BEHEMOTH have ever committed to tape. In just a moment, we’ll be putting it to the test live on our upcoming tour.”

He continues: “What you’re about to see is a music video we’re immensely proud of, created in collaboration with Group 13 [Grupa 13]. But you already know what that combination means — uncompromising quality and a message art vision that doesn’t compromise!”

Watch the previously released ‘Avgvr (The Dread Vvltvre)‘ , ‘Sowing Salt‘ , ‘Lvciferaeon‘, “The Shadow Elite” and ‘The Shit Ov God’ below.

“The Shit Ov God” came out in May 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records. Production on the LP was helmed by the inimitable Jens Bogren of Fascination Street Studios (EMPERORENSLAVEDKREATORROTTING CHRIST et al.). Working closely with the band, Bogren‘s deft hand underscored the band’s natural sound while sacrificing none of the mayhem and ferocity which permeates the band’s essence. As is always the case with BEHEMOTH, the visuals were as carefully constructed as the sound. The band tapped longtime collaborator and partner in crime Bartek Rogalewicz (BLACK.LODGE.IS.NOW) as well as Dark Sigil Workshop to make the beautifully ominous and unique cover art.

Nergal, says of the title “We chose this provocative title deliberately, rejecting subtlety in favor of a direct and polarizing statement. It’s a defiant plunge into the depths, daring to seek the absolute even in the gutter.”

But make no mistake, despite its apparent insubtlety, the album title gets a touch of genius when seen in combination with the strikingly clever artwork, which depicts an upside-down version of the most common Christogram, “IHS”.

NERGAL commented:
“I’ve reached a point in Behemoth’s journey and my own creativity where words and statements mean less and less. The true essence of who we are and what we stand for lies in our music, our art, our visuals, our sounds, our performances, and the ways we connect with you. I deeply believe Behemoth represents transcendent, timeless art.

The number thirteen—so magical and significant. If this were to be our final album, I could say I die a proud man. Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the most refined, purest representation of Behemoth. No filler, no excess—just the very best we have to offer, handed to you. 

Hail Satan
