Behemoth have shared an official video for the title track of their new compilation album “I, Scvlptor.” That effort will be available digitally and as a CD, LP, MC, and limited edition box set on September 4. As previously reported, it will include new music, re-recorded tracks, a Venom cover, and more.
Frontman Nergal commented on the single:
“‘I, Scvlptor’ is a new Behemoth song rooted in the tradition of monumental tracks like ‘O Father O Satan O Sun!’, ‘Lucifer’ or ‘Nieboga Czarny Xiądz’, while at the same time opening a new chapter. It carries that epic weight but also takes an unexpected turn that makes it feel fresh and different from the previous pieces. Lyrically, it is a metaphor for the endless process of shaping oneself — an uneven struggle with matter and personal limitations. The paradox is that from the moment we are born we are already destined to die, so perhaps it is not about victory itself, but about the constant act of sculpting who we are.”
He also added the following about the album:
“We’re fucking excited about the release of ‘I, Scvlptor’. Even though it’s not a regular studio album and is, in fact, more of a compilation, the mere fact that it contains songs nobody has ever heard before makes it a significant release for us. What’s more, some of these tracks are likely a little different from what we offered on our last album, ‘The Shit Ov God’. That’s why we see ‘I, Scvlptor’ as an important record — a connecting piece, a bridge between where we are now and whatever may come next in the distant future.”
