Behemoth launch communion wafers on tour

Behemoth have produced their own communion wafers for their Europa Blasfemia tour.

The band brought them along on their current Europe trek with Abbath, Entombed AD and Inquisition, on a run of dates where the group are playing The Satanist in full. Behemoth’s longtime collaborative artist and costume designer Toxic Vision is also holding an art exhibition at each show.

The black metal outfit also announced they’ll tour North America in April and May with support from Myrkur.

Behemoth teamed up with Polish brewery Perun last year to launched two craft beers – Heretyk and Sacrum.

Meanwhile, frontman Nergal has hinted there may be some post-punk influence in the sound of their next album – and says the follow-up to The Satanist could arrive in 2017.
