After an inventive hype campaign complete with viral images of frontman crucifixion and a mandate for fans to recite a sacrilegious "prayer" in order to hear a teaser clip, Behemoth have finally dropped the lead single, "God = Dog," off their highly anticipated new album. The absolute ripper of a song comes complete with searing riffage, soaring leads, blast beats aplenty and what sounds to be a Satanic children's choir. Check it out above, or blast it via your favorite streaming service. The band has promised "epic news later today," so keep your eyes peeled.
