Behemoth Stuns Fans with Groundbreaking Double Album Announcement and Genre-Bending Collaborations for 2025 Release.
In an electrifying announcement that has taken the metal world by storm, Polish blackened death metal giants Behemoth revealed plans for a groundbreaking double album set to release in early 2025. Titled *Genesis of the Abyss*, the double album will feature a bold and innovative fusion of genres, including shocking collaborations with artists from outside the metal sphere, promising to push the boundaries of their sound like never before.
The news was unveiled during a surprise livestream on Behemoth’s official channels, where frontman Nergal explained the ambitious vision behind *Genesis of the Abyss*. The first album, *Dark Matter*, will deliver the intense, chaotic, and symphonic elements that fans have come to expect from Behemoth, while the second half, *Transcendence*, will explore a more experimental side, incorporating industrial, ambient, and even orchestral influences.
What has truly shocked fans, however, is the announcement of unexpected collaborations with renowned non-metal artists. Among them is avant-garde electronic producer Arca, whose haunting soundscapes are set to add a new dimension to Behemoth’s dark compositions. Additionally, rumors have surfaced of a collaboration with classical composer Philip Glass, further signaling the band’s intention to create an unprecedented fusion of musical worlds.
Nergal elaborated on the band’s daring new direction: “We’ve never been afraid to challenge ourselves artistically, and with *Genesis of the Abyss*, we’re pushing the limits even further. We want to create something that transcends genre and leaves a lasting impact.”
To accompany the release, Behemoth will embark on a massive world tour, featuring a theatrical live performance designed to mirror the duality of the album’s concept. The tour will feature elaborate stage designs, incorporating cutting-edge visuals and pyrotechnics to create a fully immersive experience.
Fans have already erupted with excitement, and the album is being hailed as one of the most ambitious projects in metal history. Behemoth’s *Genesis of the Abyss* is shaping up to be a transformative moment for the band, and 2025 is poised to be a monumental year in their legacy.
