Behemoth have released a stream of their brand new single titled God = Dog.

It’s the first material taken from the band’s upcoming studio album I Loved You At Your Darkest which will be released on October 5 via Nuclear Blast – and comes just days after they previewed a snippet of new material on their website, which required fans to say a prayer to access the clip.

The cover art and tracklist for the follow-up to 2014’s The Satanist have also been revealed, while various streams of God = Dog can be listened to below.

The band confirmed they had begun work on what will be their 11th album in November last year at Gniewoszów’s Monochrome Studio in their home land of Poland, with Nergal telling Full Metal Jackie last month that it had a more “organic sound” to their previous work.

He said: “The Satanist was recorded four years ago. We've been living our lives, we've been going through different periods and we have changed again. So it's different music – it's a different endeavour. 

“But what we captured this time is maybe an even more organic sound yet still very striking and very aggressive.

“It's going to be a different record, a different approach. I don't want to talk much about it, because we've got to stay confident about it and just keep it to ourselves. 

“But the whole structure of the album, the way it's built, it's one of a kind and it's something that we've never done before.”

Behemoth will head out on tour across North America with At The Gates and Wolves In The Throne Room from October.
