Ticket demand for BEHEMOTH's "The Godless IV Tour" continues to surge at a remarkable pace, with multiple dates nearing sell-out status weeks before the spring North American headline run even begins. The tour, featuring a stacked undercard of DEICIDE, ROTTING CHRIST, and IMMOLATION, has captured the imagination of extreme metal fans who recognize the package as one of the most formidable live bills assembled in recent memory — four legendary acts representing the full spectrum of death metal, black metal, and extreme music on a single stage every night.
The tour supports "The Shit Ov God," BEHEMOTH's thirteenth full-length album released in May 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records. The record received widespread critical acclaim for its audacious blend of blackened death metal fury with orchestral grandeur and philosophical provocation — hallmarks of the Nergal-led outfit's artistic vision. The album debuted strongly across European and North American charts, further cementing BEHEMOTH's position as one of extreme metal's most commercially viable and artistically uncompromising forces.
Frontman Adam "Nergal" Darski has described the upcoming tour as "the most unholy spectacle we have ever conceived," promising elevated production values that push the boundaries of what extreme metal audiences can expect from a live show. BEHEMOTH have long been known for their elaborate stage presentations, incorporating ritual elements, religious iconography, and theatrical performance into their concerts.
The 24-date trek launches April 14 in San Diego and winds through major markets before wrapping up in mid-May. Festival appearances at Sonic Temple and Welcome To Rockville are also confirmed. Meanwhile, Nergal has separately announced a special appearance at Beyond The Gates 2026 in Bergen, Norway, where he will perform BEHEMOTH's 1995 debut album "Sventevith (Storming Near The Baltic)" in full with Icelandic black metal group MISTHYRMING — a one-off event celebrating the record's 30th anniversary.
