Here's what frontman Nergal has to say; "I've had this title in my head for almost a year now and it grew on me. It sounds nothing but powerful and epic which perfectly mirrors the essence of the new album. Evangelion comes from a Greek word 'Spreading the word of God' or 'spreading the good news'�oh well, you already know that we love to play with the meanings and symbolism. We're here to show you our interpretation of what Evangelion really is."
In support of the band's 9th full-length studio album Evangelion, Behemoth will be touring on what is sure to be this summer's largest and most bone crushing metal festival; the Mayhem Festival. Behemoth will be conquering the [Corporate Sponsored] stage alongside label mates Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, Job for a Cowboy and Whitechapel on over 25 dates this summer so make sure to catch the masters of blackened death metal live when they come to a city near you.
