NERGAL Says He Wanted HIM’s VILLE VALO On His Latest Album

Nergal Ville Valo

BEHEMOTH frontman Adam “Nergal” Darski revealed that he tried to recruit HIM singer Ville Valo for his ME AND THAT MAN project.

“I reached out to Ville Valo to sing the song Coming Home,’Nergal told in an interview with Metal Hammer. “He liked the song and said he really wanted to do it. He said, ‘I might just stick to the choruses.’ And then he just bailed on me. I lost connection with the guy.”

He added that he instead enlisted Sivert Høyem, frontman with Norwegian alt-rockers MADRUGADA, to sing on the song instead.

“He’s one of my all-time favourite singers,” Nergal said. “I happened to be at their show in Berlin. I made it backstage and we started talking. He was happy to help.”

ME AND THAT MAN‘s upcoming album, New Man, New Songs, Same Sh*t, Vol.1, will be released on March 27, 2020 via Napalm Records.

The enthralling album visits a completely new spectrum of dark desert vibes and sees notable heavy music icons such as Corey Taylor (SLIPKNOT), Brent Hinds (MASTODON), Matt Heafy (TRIVIUM), Ihsahn (EMPEROR) and Sivert Høyem (MADRUGADA) join the pact with the devil. New Man, New Songs, Same Sh*t, Vol.1 is a diversified, dynamic masterpiece that presents Nergal in a completely new light, providing a strong contrast to the heavier sounds of BEHEMOTH. Evil has truly never sounded so good.
