Polish extreme metal legends BEHEMOTH have unveiled ‚I, Scvlptor‘, the title track from their forthcoming exclusive release due September 4, 2026. The accompanying music video was produced by acclaimed Polish collective Grupa 13, with artwork by long-time collaborator Bartek Rogalewicz of LODGE.BLACK.BEHEMOTH have returned with ‚I, Scvlptor‘, the lead single from their upcoming exclusive release of the same name, set to arrive on September 4, 2026. The music video was helmed by Polish production collective Grupa 13, while the striking cover artwork was handled by Bartek Rogalewicz of LODGE.BLACK, a long-standing creative partner of the band.
According to frontman Nergal, the track draws on the monumental tradition of BEHEMOTH anthems such as ‚O Father O Satan O Sun!‘ and ‚Lucifer‘, while simultaneously charting new territory. Lyrically, the song explores the endless process of self-definition — the paradox of a life spent sculpting one’s identity in the shadow of mortality.
The release itself is an autonomous body of work comprising eight tracks: seven new studio recordings and one live cut. Among them are freshly re-recorded versions of early BEHEMOTH material — ‚Rise of the Blackstorm of Evil‘ and ‚In Thy Pandemaeternum‘ — recast with modern production while retaining their original spirit. The release also includes tributes to formative influences: a cover of VENOM’s ‚In League With Satan‘ featuring Shagrath of DIMMU BORGIR, and BATHORY’s ‚The Return of Darkness and Evil‘ featuring Sakis Tolis of ROTTING CHRIST.
The record will be available on CD, LP, MC, and a limited-edition box set through Massacre Records worldwide, with digital distribution via Nuclear Blast Records. In October 2026, BEHEMOTH and DIMMU BORGIR will co-headline the ‚In League With Satan‘ European tour, with DARK FUNERAL as special guests.
