Behemoth have announced a North American tour which will take place later this year.

The band will play a total of 26 dates under the Ecclesia Diabolica America 2018 e.v. banner, kicking off at the Van Buren in Phoenix on October 20 and wrapping up with a set at The Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles on November 24.

They’ll be joined on the road by special guests At The Gates and Wolves In The Throne Room.

Behemoth leader Adam ‘Nergal’ Darski says: “I hereby announce Behemoth’s triumphant return to the North American shores this Fall. 

“We will be in the noble company of At The Gates and Wolves In The Throne Room, who will be supporting us on our eleventh opus. 

“Even though it's only been a few moments since we played for you, our American legions, we cannot wait for this tour to start! It's gonna be the first headlining run supporting new music and we are bringing all the artillery, which means the biggest production thus far! 

Ecclesia Diabolica America 2018 e.v. arrives soon and we want you to celebrate this sonic pandemonium with us!”

Behemoth have been working on the follow-up to 2014’s The Satanist, which is expected to be released later this year via Metal Blade Records and Nuclear Blast.
