HOLY CRAP. (NO PUN INTENDED. I THINK)
Behemoth just released their much talked about and much anticipated video for “Alas The Lord is Upon Me” and well… I’m a little speechless. I mean, it’s REALLY well done from a visual point of view and the entire thing can just be described as intense. Let’s just say it’s not for the easily scared, queasy, or even partially religious kind.
It’s really unfortunate that Nergal just announced his illness at the same time (and we at RiB, like most everyone else, wish him a speedy recovery and send our loooove), but I just can’t believe what I have seen her. I have a bit of a interest in religion and the imagery in this video opens a wide door for interpretation, questions, and awe. It’s one of those things that leaves you saying “WHAT THE FUCK did I just watch?!” and “THAT’S FUCKING METAL” at the same time.
Catholic school sure never warned me about stuff like this, THAT’S for DAMN sure. Watch and discuss!
