Polish extreme metal veterans Behemoth will embark on their first-ever tour of Asia in late October/early November.

Commented frontman Adam "Nergal" Darski: "It's historical and we're totally psyched! We've pushed for this tour to happen for years. In fact, it was pretty frustrating seeing all those bands playing in Japan, one of the most exotic markets on the metal globe. It's even more thrilling to see China, Taiwan and Thailand in this schedule too. Seems like after completing these shows we'll have The Whole metal world covered and we can officially close the promotional cycle for 'The Apostasy'."

The dates are as follows:

Oct. 29 - Tokyo, Japan - Music Exchange
Oct. 31 - Beijing, China - Mao Livehouse
Nov. 01 - Taipei City, Taiwan - Vu Live House
Nov. 05 - Bangkok, Thailand - Studio 125

Behemoth will release a new EP, "Ezkaton", in North America on November 11 through Metal Blade Records. The Ep will feature seven tracks, one brand new song titled "Qadosh", a live recording as well as a new studio version of "Chant For Ezkaton 2000 e.v.". Also included are live versions of "From The Pagan Vastlands" and "Decade Ov Therion" plus covers of The Ramones' "I'm Not Jesus" and the Masters Hammer track "Jama Pekel". The Ep will be made available as a limited edition box set that will include four picture disc seven inches, a Behemoth pendant and the Cd all packaged in a deluxe box.

Behemoth's video for the song "At The Left Hand Ov God" (see below) and the clip's producers Grupa 13 have been nominated in three categories - "Grand Prix", "Direction" and "Montage" - at the annual Yach Film Festival. The event showcases the best music videos from Polish artists, with coveted awards presented to the cream of the crop.

Previously known as the Polish Videoclip Festival, in 2001 the event joined forces with the Bursztynowe Oko (Amber Eye) animated festival of music films and Maly Jas (Little Johnny) festival of children's videos to create a much larger event. Supporting activities include fashion shows and live music concerts.

The winners will be announced during the 17th edition of the Yach Film Festival, which will be held October 10-12 in Gdansk.
