Behemoth rehearse

Legendary Behemoths, Behemoth are back rehearsing, for the first time since Nergal’s diagnosis with Leukemia last August. It’s great to hear that the guys are back preparing to take to the stage and kill once again. You can see photos of the rehearsal over at Blabbermouth. They also have some photos of me naked, so be sure to click that link right away.

Nergal commented: “Sooo, first rehearsals after the transplant are under our belts! I didn’t want to get overexcited at first, just wanted to see how things would go, but I have to tell you… the second rehearsal we fuckin’ nailed ‘Ov Fire And The Void’, ‘Lucifer’, ‘Conquer All’ and ‘Antichristian Phenomenon’ flawlessly! One of us even asked, ‘Did we really take a year off from each other?’ Ha ha… it was good times in great company! But the biggest surprise were the songs we NEVER played live ever and planning to do on the upcoming ‘Phoenix Rising Tour’. I won’t reveal any names yet, let it be a mystery ’till we hit the stage, all right?” He added, “In other news, I started jamming out some NEW shit too… too early to give any further comments, but it sounds VERY disturbing and eerie. Can’t fuckin wait to unleash those ideas to my friends…”

That was one long ass quote, but if you’re not creaming your pants in excitement after reading it, you’re simply not Metal enough.

Interview with the ‘Metal as F*ck’ Nergal

SoundShock.com conducted an interview at Metal Hammer’s Golden God Awards with ‘Metal as F*ck’ winner, Nergal of Behemoth. You can view a video of the interview above.

Nergal discusses the possibilities of a new album, and his health improvements. It’s great to see the Behemoth frontman looking and sounding absolutely great. He truly is deserving of the ‘Metal as F*ck’ title, apart from me maybe, because I’ve never won anything in my life 🙁

Metal Hammer’s Golden God results

The UK’s Metal Hammer hosted their very “special” awards ceremony, The Golden Gods, last night. We at Dose of Metal at times have considered hosting our own awards ceremony, but ultimately we’re just not self-indulgent or pretentious enough to attempt such a feat. Actually, it’s just we’re too lazy, poor and not big enough to pull it off. Instead though, we can just look at other award ceremonies, and criticize them, which is exactly what I’m going to be doing.

Winners include Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Rob Zombie and many more. Find the complete results, plus my own little thoughts and criticism below.

* Best New Band – The Damned Things —- Meh, debut was catchy, but overall fairly mediocre.
* Metal As F*ck – Nergal (Behemoth) —- No argument here.
* Best Underground – Primordial —- Also no arguments here.
* Dimebag Darrell Shredder(s) – Gus G. (FIREWIND, OZZY OSBOURNE) —- Yeah, Gus is pretty awesome.
* Breakthrough Artist – Sabaton —- Who??
* Best UK Band – Iron Maiden —- Of course. Question though, do Iron Maiden win every year? 😛
* Best Live Band – Skindred —- Skindred? Fuck off.
* Inspiration Award – Twister Sister —- Twisted Sister? No thanks
* Best International Band – Avenged Sevenfold —- Fuck off.
* Best Album – “Absolute Dissent” by Killing Joke —- Haven’t heard it yet, so unsure on this one, but I bet there’s better.
* Event of the Year – “The Big 4” coming together for first time ever in the U.K. —- Yeah, as a UK citizen, this is awesome.
* Riff Lord(s) – Pepper Keenan and Kirk Windstein (DOWN) — Down are great, but there’s a lot of riff lords I guess.
* Spirit of Hammer – Diamond Head — Yeah, I guess I’m cool with this.
* Icons – Judas Priest —- Undeniably deserving of the title.
* Golden God – Rob Zombie —- Rob Zombie sucks.

Nergal performs with Fields Of The Nephilim

Guitarist and vocalist of the Polish Blackened Death Metal masterminds Behemoth, Nergal, has made his first performance since undergoing a bone marrow transplant last December, with the British Gothic Rock band Fields Of The Nephilim. The video can be found above.

In addition, Behemoth are set to return to the stage in October.

This is all awesome news and it’s great to see Nergal back on the stage killing it. I feel like after I first lost my virginity. Coincidently, Nergal felt like how I felt just before I lost my virginity:

“I don’t remember when the last time I was THAT nervous. First of all, I had to join one of my favorite bands ever, true legends, Fields Of The Nephilim”

Any ways, it’s great to see the man back on his feet and performing again. We all at Dose of Metal wish him the best of luck.

First of all, I had to join one of my favorite bands ever, true legends, FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM…”I don’t remember when the last time I was THAT nervous.

Nergal is back

We’re really happy to report that Adam “Nergal” Darski, frontman, lead vocalist, guitarist and manager of Behemoth, who has been diagnosed with leukemia in August of last year, is doing good and already planning to hit the road with Behemoth again.

“We want to start rehearsing in, say, six weeks. We’ll be rehearsing all the songs, jam out, and we want to be ready for some shows in a few months. We want to do first shows in Poland in October. I know it’s still six months away, but we’re gonna fuckin’ do it. I am sure about it. It’s been three months since the transplant now, and [my improvement] has been huge. So in three more months, I’ll be ready for it.”

That sounds incredible but that’s what Behemoth’s music was always all about; staying strong and not letting anyone or anything put you down.
