A fan-filmed video of Behemoth’s July 15 performance at Slagthuset in Malmö, Sweden, may be found below. Behemoth has announced that Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats drummer Jon Rice will join the Polish extreme metal band’s summer 2024 European tour. Rice is temporarily standing in for longtime Behemoth drummer Inferno (actual name: Zbigniew Robert Promiński), who is unable to attend the gigs due to health difficulties. On July 9, Behemoth frontman Adam “Nergal” Darski posted a video of one of the band’s production rehearsals with the following message:

With the deepest regret in our hearts I must inform you that due to health issues Inferno was forced to stay home and take care of his well-being and we are enforced by @jon.charn.rice on drums! Please wish Godspeed recovery to Inferno and cross fingers for Jon to outdo himself and make us sound as powerful as possible! Adam “Nergal” Darski 

Rice has previously subbed for Inferno on Behemoth’s 2022 South American tour with Arch Enemy, a 2017 North American tour with Slayer, and select 2019 headlining shows in Israel and Turkey.
