Polish extreme metal band Behemoth has released a new music video for their track 'Nomen Barbarvm' from the album The Shit Ov God. The video features symbolic visuals tied to occult themes and religious subversion, aligning with the band's artistic style. It arrives just before their Australian tour this month.
Behemoth, the Polish extreme metal pioneers, unveiled a visually striking music video for 'Nomen Barbarvm' on February 2, 2026. This track stands out on their latest critically acclaimed album, The Shit Ov God, known for its blend of melody and groove.
Directed by Dariusz Szermanowiczr, the video employs dramatic lighting, elaborate costumes, and special effects to craft a dark, epic narrative. It includes references to occult traditions and subverts religious iconography, reflecting Behemoth's longstanding artistic mission.
Frontman Nergal shared insights on the song's inspiration: “I create as I speak.” Isn’t that, in essence, Crowley’s “Do what thou wilt”—just cast in slightly different words? This idea became the lyrical leitmotif of Nomen Barbarvm, arguably one of the most melodic, yet also deeply groove-driven tracks Behemoth have ever committed to tape. In just a moment, we’ll be putting it to the test live on our upcoming tour. What you’re about to see is a music video we’re immensely proud of, created in collaboration with Group 13. But you already know what that combination means—uncompromising quality and a message art vision that doesn’t compromise!”
The release coincides with Behemoth's Australian tour scheduled for this month, building anticipation among fans. The album The Shit Ov God is available for purchase and streaming, while the video can be watched online. Tickets for the tour are on sale through official channels.
