Behemoth - Performed Without Makeup At Motocultor Festival
Behemoth is one of many bands who uses their image to boost their live set, but what can you do if your gear is lost in transition? This happened to the band before their performance at Motocultor 2014 in France, but it didn't stop them from performing. They went on stage and did a "completely 'naked' performance," as the band described it.
Click on the fan-filmed video below to see. The Polish band performed without their standard production, including their makeup, outfits and such. With the help from other bands on the bill who lent them some gear, Behemoth did their set.
The band posted on their Facebook page: "This must have been the most intense and draining festival weekend this Summer. Germany-Romania-France within 3 days, hardly any sleep, 15 pieces of luggage lost by KLM... and completely 'naked' performance at Motocultor Festival. It was a tough one but absolutely worth all the effort and stress! We wish to thank everyone who attended these shows and shared their blood and sweat with us!"

Even without any of their gear and getup they still look more badass than most bands...I wouldn't want to piss Orion off.

Imagine this happens to Ghost, I bet they'd cancel instead.

From what I've seen online Behemoth are really solid live. Although I've never personally seen them, just something I've kinda gathered from youtube videos and such. Can anyone comment on that?

Good to see that he number one maxim in entertainment (the show must go on) held true for Behemoth. Good on them. Make up isn't necessary anyway. Looked stupid on KISS and looks stupid on them. Just my opinion. Still, when you are ugly, it can make a difference.

Written by Ace Frawley on 22.08.2014 at 00:38 I personally think that makeup sometimes can give this little extra at live shows; if the atmosphere is there as well

I've only seen them perform live via Youtube but they always seem to put on a good show. I actually think they look better performing as regular musicians as opposed to a gimmicky black metal band.

I only saw them live once, at Hellfest, and it was one of the sets I was looking forward to the most. But it was very disappointing, lots of sound problems - not their fault I know - and very windy. But their makeup and armours didn't add anything to the show. I don't really understand why they still bother with that. I don't mind, but it must be super hot under those costumes. It looks uncomfortable and I wouldn't be surprised if it reduced their ability to move around a lot.

I prefer that lighter, sharper guitar tone to the massive bass heavy one they usually have

Written by Ilham on 22.08.2014 at 02:21 actually no. The stage stuff they are wearing is very light and thin. I might look bulky, but it really isn't.

They're always awesome with or without makeup. Set still look menacing.

Saw them Live 2 weeks ago (Vagos Open Air, Review on the making) and I have to say Nergal's voice is kind of weak latelly. Still, they managed to put out a really solid perfomance and it was one of the best shows on that day.

Not too keen on their music nowadays, but I always found them quite massive and grabbing live. I like them without all the costumes & shit. Plus they followed Fenriz's advice to become a cool band:

This is one of the bands I want to see live before I die! I guess you could say they're one of those "bucket list" type bands for me! They even came to Texas(the state I live in) but I wasn't able to make the 6 hour drive to Dallas! One day though! One day! By the way, it seems like there's more of a connection with the crowd on a more personal level without their makeup. I love how it gives a totally different edge to their already powerful stage presence!
