Following Ozzfest, Behemoth co-headlined the Radio Rebellion Tour with Job For A Cowboy with support from Gojira and Beneath The Massacre with the band's final North American tour being a direct support slot to Norwegian legends, Dimmu Borgir. After a short break for writing, Behemoth entered Radio Gdansk in Poland to begin recording. "Evangelion" see's Behemoth, Daniel Bergstrand and Woytek and Slawek Wieslawscy as producers with Colin Richardson (Machine Head, Slipknot, Napalm Death, Carcass) set to mix the album.
Here's what frontman Nergal has to say; "I've had this title in my head for almost a year now and it grew on me. It sounds nothing but powerful and epic which perfectly mirrors the essence of the new album. "Evangelion" comes from a Greek word "Spreading the word of God" or "spreading the good news" ...oh well, you already know that we love to play with the meanings and symbolism. We're here to show you our interpretation of what "Evangelion" really is."
Details on "Evangelion"'s packaging, artwork, track listing, and pre-orders will be announced over the coming months so be sure to keep an eye on the band's sites and Metal Blade (US) and Nuclear Blast's (Europe) sites for further information.

Mehh, the album title sounds like a play on words to me. Like Evangelist and Religion combined. But oh'well, cant wait for the album anyways.

Nergal has said that he is more excited for this album than he was for The Apostasy. Behemoth seems to improve with age.

Cool name, I'm sure the album will have a great message. But I didn't like "The Apostasy" that much......I have a feeling that "Evangelion" is ga be just like it  I haven't been blown away since "Demigod".....now THAT is a release to die for!

Too sad the translation of Evangelion isn't exactly what he said. In ancient greek, "ev" is actually "eu" and means "well". And "angelion" is "aggelos" which means "message". So, Evangelion would be more like "good messsage". Nevertheless I am looking forward for this new album since the last two were outstanding!

I think Nergal meant to use Evangelion because it basically means what people usually translate to"Good News".
