Following the release of last years brilliant The Satanist, Behemoth stunned the world over, with a triumphant return after Nergal‘s ills. After the band released their EP last year and announced a winter tour stateside with Cannibal Corpse, surely people would not have predicted that this would be the end (for now) of Behemoth.
In an interview, Nergal recently stated :
“Like anything, I think the future is good with thrills and… options,” he said. “I’m not really counting on my future further than the touring cycle goes these days. That’s really it. We’re going to surprise people with some amazing projects in the coming months, but there’s no new record in sight, to be honest. I don’t know even when or where we’ll start working on it — it’s in the last position on my list of priorities.”
Revealing that he is in fact working on solo album that will be very stripped down compared to the likes of the grandiose Behemoth, the front man is remaining fairly tight lipped about the entire affair. Not to mention that the band have just issued their biography along with Nergal‘s personal biography! If we never hear another note from Behemoth, then The Satanist is potentially the best way to go out.
What do you think? Would it be unwise for the band to quit at such a time?
