We’d heard some murmurs about the 2014 Metal Alliance tour being headlined by Behemoth, and earlier today, it was made official – they’ll be headlining the tour, which is decidedly more black metal than the earlier incarnations of the tour. With their new album, The Satanist, coming out on February 4th, Behemoth will be playing their first full North American tour in more than a decade. The fourth incarnation of the tour will find them joined by Goatwhore, 1349, Inquisition and Black Crown Initiate. Metal Insider is proud to be a co-sponsor of the tour for a second year.

“We are immensely proud to be headlining the Metal Alliance Tour,” Behemoth’s Nergal commented. “It’s a privilege and we’re going to make sure that this tour and The Satanist that Behemoth is making an ultimate statement! It has been a long trek from when we landed in US for the first time in 2003. It took us a decade to get to this place we are now. We are coming back, more determined and hungrier than ever, ready to reclaim the throne!”
