Behemoth frontman Nergal’s blues, country and folk project Me And That Man have parted ways with John Porter. Nergal confirmed the news in the below interview with uDiscover Music. Despite this, he did add that a new album will likely be released in 2020.
Nergal said the following:
“I’ll try to be as diplomatic as I can. It wasn’t the easiest collaboration in my life, which means that it was the most difficult collaboration in my life. [Laughs] I’m talking man to man, because there’s been some man-female collaborations that were a bit harder. But [for a] man-to-man collaboration, it was very hard. So it just wouldn’t work. Either one would kill one another sooner or later, so better to stay alive and separate.”
He also said that with Porter gone it’s “pretty much [him] driving this train” and that he would “like to transform the name of the band to ‘Me and This Man’.”
He went on to say there will “definitely” be another album:
“Probably in 2019 we’ll start recording. We’re already fucking around with ideas, so it might see the light of day in 2020.
He also said the following about what it might sound like:
“I already have a concept that I don’t wanna spoil here now — I’m not gonna tease — because it’s still in my head, but I think it’s pretty spectacular. So I think it’s gonna be cool. I love the idea. I hope people will dig it. But it’s gonna be a completely different form — it’ll be totally different. And then I’m open for maybe the third record — if there’s a third record — do something else again. And I try to be as flexible as I can — as long as I express myself the way I want. It’s not like BEHEMOTH, [where] we have this solid setup, and it is what it is, and everyone has its spot and place. With ME AND THAT MAN, I like it to be like a river; it just flows, and, ‘Okay, let’s take a curve,’ ‘Let’s do this.’”
