If you feel like having a little bit of evil in your life, then you’ll need to check out the new video for Behemoth‘s “Messe Noire.” Directed by Zev Deans, with costumes provided by fashion designer Sharon Toxic, the graphic and vivid video is epic in the truest sense of the word, such that John Milton’s “Paradise Lost” is an epic poem. And the two actually share the story of Lucifer’s fall from Heaven.
Deans commented on the video:
The story of Lucifer’s fall, followed by his defiant rebirth, reminds me of Nergal’s own personal struggles of recent years. Like Lucifer, Behemoth has recovered from hardship, and they are stronger than ever. With ‘Messe Noire,’ I was lucky enough to work with some of the most talented people in the genre. I owe the success of this project to the intense sacrifice that Sharon and the rest of team gave to this work.
Behemoth frontman Nergal commented:
It was actually our drummer Inferno’s idea to use Zev Deans. He showed me [a] Portal video that literally blew my fuckin’ mind! For a long time we’ve attempted to reach a new ground and artistically leave the comfort zone. The Satanist” is the record that challenges us on so many levels… and here we are, exploring new grounds with a video producer who is a genuine visionary! [The] ‘Messe Noire’ video surely adds new quality to our art and makes it even more transcendental… I am proud!
Along with the video, Behemoth has made a “Messe Noire” t-shirt available in their official web shop. Check out the design at behemoth-store.com.
