Polish extreme metal titans Behemoth have officially aligned with Massacre Records for the worldwide physical distribution of their upcoming exclusive release, I, Scvlptor. The new body of work is scheduled for a simultaneous global street date on September 4, 2026, and will be available across CD, vinyl, cassette, and a highly anticipated limited-edition box set.
The monumental partnership marks a major milestone for Massacre Records, representing one of the most prestigious collaborations in the label’s history.
“Behemoth are one of the most powerful and iconic forces in extreme metal, and we could not be more honored to bring ‘I, Scvlptor’ to their fans on CD and vinyl worldwide,” stated Thomas Hertler, label manager of Massacre Records. “This is a landmark moment for our label, and we are fully committed to giving this release the presentation it deserves.”
I, Scvlptor acts as an autonomous, standalone effort composed of eight previously unreleased tracks, amounting to 40 minutes of fresh material. According to frontman Adam “Nergal” Darski, the record not only pushes the band’s creative boundaries forward but also reaches back into their underground origins.
“I, Scvlptor is Behemoth‘s latest full-length release — an autonomous work that bridges our past with what is new and fresh,” Nergal explained. “It features brand-new, previously unreleased tracks that embody the full force of our live energy, intensity, and the fire that has driven this band for decades. We also revisited our earliest material, reshaping it with a modern edge while preserving its ancient spirit.”
The frontman further noted that the release serves a dual purpose, functioning as both an evolution of their sound and a homage to their influences.
“I, Scvlptor is equally a tribute to the artists and bands without whom Behemoth would never have existed,” Nergal added. “Get ready for 40 minutes of a sonic pilgrimage forged at the highest level!”
Official pre-orders for the physical editions of I, Scvlptor will launch on June 1, 2026. The band and Massacre Records have confirmed that the record’s final cover artwork and full track listing will be revealed concurrently with the launch. Fans are advised to monitor the official channels of both the label and the band as the pre-order date approaches.
