Metal Blade Records is proud to announce that commanders of blackened death metal, Behemoth, are still dominating charts worldwide with their latest full-length release Evangelion, which was released on August 11. Evangelion has now entered its fourth week in the Polish music charts coming in at the #1 spot three weeks in a row and one week at the #2 spot, just behind Michael Jackson.
Guitarist/vocalist Adam "Nergal" Darski comments:
"It’s unheard of. Evangelion is storming the charts in Poland and we’ve been three weeks in row number one selling record in our home country. How insane is that? If someone had told me this few months ago I would have never believed that this conservative country can embrace us so much. Things are changing. And it feels good. I’m grateful and happy that people dig this record so much…again, I want to thank everyone who picked up his copy of Evangelion. It means a lot!"
Wow. How come blackened death metal is now popular? I remember that death metal and black metal were the old school underground styles, the kind only hardcore metalheads like myself tend to listen and like. And now this? I don't know what to say. Is it good that blackened death metal is becoming popular? I think so. Would it be good if just everyone would listen to blackened death metal and actually like it? Hell if I know O.o
Anyway, Behemoth ftw! Now I want to see the next Bolt Thrower album to gain such a recognition, most definitely
By the way, did you know you can learn how to play guitar tabs of almost all Behemoth songs?
