Nergal and Misþyrming will play “Sventevith” by Behemoth in 2026

In an intriguing twist, Nergal, the guitarist and leader of Behemoth, will celebrate the 30th anniversary of his Polish blackened death metal band’s debut album “Sventevith” live next year without his Behemoth comrades. As theprp reprots,, Misþyrming, an Icelandic black metal band, will support him during that performance. That duo will perform at the “Beyond The Gates” festival in Bergen, Norway, which is scheduled to take place from July 29 to August 1.

SVENTEVITH LIVE AT BEYOND THE GATES🔥

We have two announcements for you this week, and the first one is a set we’re particularly exited about:

@nergal69 will join forces with @misthyrming as they’re bringing @behemothofficial’s first album, «Sventevith», live in full, to Beyond the Gates 2026 🔥

In 2026, Sventevith — the seminal debut album by Behemoth — will rise again in a series of exclusive festival appearances across Europe, including Beyond the Gates and Bergen. Marking the 30th anniversary of its original release, Nergal will revisit the dark origins of his musical legacy, performing Sventevith (Storming Near the Baltic) in its entirety.

This extraordinary set will see Nergal joined by Icelandic black metal visionaries Misþyrming, whose raw energy and uncompromising intensity have reshaped the modern black metal landscape. Together, they will summon the primal spirit of the 1995 release — an album that laid the foundation for Behemoth’s evolution from underground obscurity to global extremity.

Performed live for the first time as a full conceptual work, Sventevith will return as both a tribute and a transformation: a rare convergence of heritage and renewal, honoring Behemoth’s roots while embracing the ferocity of a new generation.

We can’t wait to witness this in Bergen next year 🔥
