In August 2024, Polish black/death metal band Behemoth—genre pioneers with albums like Opvs Contra Natvram (2022), marking a return to aggressive sound after I Loved You at Your Darkest—performed at Wacken Open Air, the world's largest metal festival launched in 1990 in the village of Wacken, Germany, sharing the bill with Scorpions and Amon Amarth before 85,000 attendees. The 90-minute main stage performance, captured professionally, embodied their tour climax, where Adam "Nergal" Darski's aggressive riffs merged with Zbigniew "Inferno" Promiński's drum power and theatrical elements to spark collective ecstasy under summer skies. Featuring tracks like "Bartzabel", "Ora Pro Nobis Lucifer", and "O Father O Satan O Sun!", this show highlighted their leadership in modern extreme metal, turning the festival grounds into a realm of rebellion and unity.
