Behemoth's Nergal Wants To Surprise Himself With New Album

(Metal Hammer) Behemoth leader Nergal says he wants to surprise himself on the follow-up to 2014's The Satanist. The band began working on fresh material earlier this year, with the frontman saying it would mark a "new chapter" for the band.

And he tells the new episode of Metal Hammer: In Residence that he won't deliberately push the band's sound, and instead explore different avenues on what will be their 11th studio outing.

Nergal says: "I hope we won't be pushing forward - I hope we're going to take some f***ing curves. That's what we did with The Satanist, we didn't try to push where we ended with Evangelion - we just took it to a different alley and that's what's going to happen next.

"It feels like I'm standing in front of 10 doors - I can open any of them and that's what I'm going to do. And knowing myself, I try to stick a foot in every door possible, so let's see what happens - let's be surprised.

"I'm definitely going to do my best to surprise myself in the first place." Read more here.
