“The Satanist” was produced by BEHEMOTH, Wojtek and Slawek Wieslawscy and Daniel Bergstrand at Hertz Studio. The CD was mixed by Matt Hyde (SLAYER) and mastered by Ted Jensen (METALLICA, AC/DC) at Sterling Sound in New York City. The cover art for “The Satanist” was painted by renowned Russian painter and occultist Denis Forkas. The paint used included some of Nergal‘s own blood. Additional art and design was completed by Metastazis (PARADISE LOST) and Zbigniew Bielak (WATAIN, GHOST).
BEHEMOTH‘s video for the new single “Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel” was produced by Grupa 13 and is one of the band’s most unsettling and unique works to date.
