BEHEMOTH frontman Adam “Nergal” Darski has revealed the title for his upcoming country and folk inspired album to TeamRock at this year’s Bloodstock Festival: “The record is going to be titled Love Is A Dog From Hell, which we stole from Charles Bukowski. But he’s dead, so he’s going to have no problem with that whatsoever. I’m super-proud of it.”
He also said he wants “extreme” views about the album from BEHEMOTH fans: “The more radical and more extreme they are, the more delighted I will be. The worst thing you can get is people just saying, ‘Yeah, it’s OK.’
“I want people to either say, ‘F**k you, asshole. I’m throwing out all the Behemoth records because of all this crap you recorded.’ That’s what I would love to see on one hand.
“And on the other, ‘All that piece of s**t Behemoth stuff you’ve done, I don’t want you to scream any more.’ I want to get both reactions.”
He continues: “It’s influenced by everything from Neil Young, early Nick Cave, Seasick Steve and Wovenhand. It’s got some Clash, some Damned, some post-punk influence as well. It’s got some country notes as well. It’s really diverse.”
