See Orgiastic Torture Ritual in Behemoth's NSFW New "Sabbath Mater" Video

NSFW clip comes ahead of Polish extremists' stint on Knotfest Roadshow

Ahead of their upcoming stint alongside metal giants Slipknot on the inaugural Knotfest Roadshow, Polish blackened death-metal demons Behemoth have unleashed a hellish, gory video for "Sabbath Mater," a standout cut off their 2018 album I Loved You at Your Darkest

Featuring a devilish queen who seems to suck the very souls from her victims as they lay near death in an orgiastic pile covered in their own blood, the NSFW clip is a ritualistic practice in evil and excess, as is Behemoth's style. Close-up shots of flesh become indiscernible as cutaways to the band performing in black-and-white in a deserted location sneak in, and by the finale, the victims are torn limb from limb and nailed to an enormous cross. 

"The energy and vibe was made for performance and that's exactly what we accomplished in the video," the band commented in a joint statement. "Oh, and some ungodly imagery — it is a Behemoth video, after all."
