Behemoth to Play This Summer’s Mayhem Fest

It’s January, and you know what that means: time for rumors about the line-ups for this summer’s traveling festivals to start flying!

Our first bit of news for the summer festival season is actually somewhat more than a rumor, though, thanks to another case of a musician no doubt making his management and publicity team nuts by making an announcement way before he was supposed to. Specifically, in this instance, Behemoth bassist Orion giving the following quote to  Metal Storm:

“…I don’t think it is confirmed yet but we are coming back to the States this summer to play on the Rockstar Mayhem Festival. This will be the very first thing we will do before the new record comes out. After that we plan on doing some other festivals, but they are not confirmed yet neither. We have done quite a few European festivals this year [2012] and I am not sure if it would be the best thing to do before the album comes out.”

So “not confirmed yet” obviously means that this may not happen… but the fact that he’s willing to talk about it in the press suggests that he’s confident it’s gonna happen. I would guess the band’s deal-makers are just dotting some i’s and crossing some t’s. So, while I’d advise not to get too excited just yet, I think you can probably start getting excited about being excited. That seems fair.

That quote also makes it seem like the band is planning to have their album out by the fall. That would obviously be swell, too.

More news as we get it…
