Extreme metal giants BEHEMOTH will release their new album, “The Shit Ov God”, on May 9 via Nuclear Blast Records. The official music video for the LP’s second single, “The Shadow Elite”, can be seen below.

On an exclusive invite-only basis, BEHEMOTH’s legionnaires gathered at a secret location for a raw, primal live performance. Branded and tattooed with BEHEMOTH’s sigils, the band’s most dedicated fans, known as “The Shadow Elite”, form a chaotic scene as the band performs from within a cage. Marking Ash Wednesday in true BEHEMOTH fashion, “The Shadow Elite” channels the band’s early roots with relentless blast beats and searing tremolo riffs, a ferocious testament to their signature sound.

BEHEMOTH founder and frontman Adam “Nergal” Darski commented: “‘The Shadow Elite’ is the second single and the opening track from our thirteenth album, ‘The Shit Ov God’. A raw, high-energy anthem with a relentless drive — a banger built for the stage! Lyrically, it’s a call to arms — a fearless battle cry for outcasts, anarchists, and free minds to rise. We will not be silenced. It’s about uniting and summoning the courage to embrace and amplify the fire of freedom that burns within us!”
