Bydgosczc, Poland. After nearly 5 years on the cutting edge of the music industry, Polish Black Metalers Behemoth offered a glimpse of their new found maturity. In a recent interview in People magazine, Behemoth’s front man, Dracune, spoke about their new conservative look, and their new found focus on their music. “Always with the dark stage gear and imagery. We used to try to look dark and forbidding, now we are focused on the music, the art, and the performance of our craft.” Dracune pointed out that many of their fans may label them as sell-outs, but they should wait until they hear the album before passing such judgments. “You can see, clearly by our new promotional photo [see inset] that we have taken our focus off of our appearance. Our fans will have to understand that our appearance was superficial, and that it did not represent us as musicians.” Dracune is not new to the world of change. Born on a bunny farm, Dracune spent his youth caring for bunnies in the small Polish village of Szamocin before moving to Bydgosczc at the young and impressionable age of 32. “I couldn’t just up and leave the bunnies. I spent all week tending to them, and then on the weekends I would catch a train into Bydgosccz to audition for Black Metal bands looking for a front man.” Dracune soon found Algor and Chomidia, both of Bydgosczc, suitable for band mates. Their 3rd effort, entitled The Disambiguation of the Oryctolagus cuniculus will be released January 27th.
