Polish extreme metal titans BEHEMOTH make their much-anticipated return to North America on April 26th to perform five special shows. This trek includes an appearance at the renowned New England Metal and Hardcore Festival and two rare headlining shows in addition to performances alongside such acclaimed acts as CANNIBAL CORPSE and DIMMU BORGIR, among others. The band will then return to the U.S. this summer on Ozzfest 2007 having landed the direct support, non-rotating slot right before second stage headliners HATEBREED. See below for their complete touring itinerary. BEHEMOTH recently completed work on their most ambitious and epic offering yet, The Apostasy, which was recorded in the band’s hometown of Gdansk with Nergal (vocals, guitars) and longtime sound engineer Malta in the producers’ chairs. The effort was mixed with the acclaimed Daniel Bergstrand at Dugout Studios in Sweden and mastered by Bjorn Engelmann. The highly anticipated offering is set for a July release.
