Polish extreme metal pioneers BEHEMOTH have unleashed a visually captivating and fiercely thematic music video for their track ‘Nomen Barbarvm,’ a standout song from their critically acclaimed latest album, “The Shit Ov God” [reviewed by SonicAbuse here].
The apocalyptic video, directed by Dariusz Szermanowiczr, features deeply symbolic visuals, including references to occult traditions and a deliberate subversion of religious iconography, consistent with BEHEMOTH‘s artistic mission. Expect high-level cinematic quality, utilising dramatic lighting, elaborate costumes, and special effects to create a dark, epic narrative
BEHEMOTH have several upcoming tours and festival shows in Europe, Asia, Australia and North America, starting in early February. UK fans can catch their visually captivating set at Download Festival in June.
Nergal commented:
““I create as I speak.” Isn’t that, in essence, Crowley’s “Do what thou wilt”- just cast in slightly different words? This idea became the lyrical leitmotif of ‘Nomen Barbarvm’, arguably one of the most melodic, yet also deeply groove-driven tracks Behemoth have ever committed to tape. In just a moment, we’ll be putting it to the test live on our upcoming tour. What you’re about to see is a music video we’re immensely proud of, created in collaboration with Group 13. But you already know what that combination means- uncompromising quality and a message in artistic vision that doesn’t compromise!”

There will be ample opportunities to catch these sinfully catchy tunes from the new album in a live setting, including headline stints across the EU, Asia, Australia, and USA with select festival slots across 2026, plus more to be announced soon.
