Behemoth frontman Nergal says that listening to the first 10 seconds of the band’s new album I Loved You At Your Darkest could “probably kill 100 emo kids.”
It’s the latest strange comment from the vocalist and guitarist, and follows a Metal Hammer interview last week where he said that everyone carried some Adolf Hitler inside them.
Speaking with Consequence Of Sound, Nergal says: “Ten seconds of the new Behemoth album would probably kill 100 emo kids – and then another hundred and another hundred.
“By the end of the record, there would be no emo kids in the world – so maybe we should encourage them to listen to the record!”
As for the title, which Nergal previously reported was a quote from Jesus Christ, he adds: “I can’t think of any other extreme metal band that would include the word ‘love’ in a title.”
