I Loved You At Your Darkest
“It doesn’t get more blasphemous than this” – that’s Behemoth mastermind Nergal talking about the title of the band’s 11th and latest album, ‘I Loved You At Your Darkest.’
While it certainly seems an unlikely title for a black metal band-especially one that called their last album The Satanist-its origin might surprise you even more than the words themselves.
“It’s a verse from the Bible,” Nergal reveals. “It’s actually a quote from Jesus Christ himself. For Behemoth to use it as the basis of our record, it’s sacrilege to the extreme.” “I really wanted to redefine ourselves with this record,” Nergal explains. “‘I Loved You At Your Darkest’ is a more dynamic record. It’s extreme and radical on one hand, but it’s also more rock-oriented than any other Behemoth record.”
“Although our origin is black metal, Behemoth is something bigger,” Nergal ventures. “We know our legacy – but, with this record, we look to advance to higher ground!”
