Behemoth<\/a><\/strong> will kick off their summer European tour on July 11 without drummer Inferno<\/strong>, who’s staying home due to health reasons. Filling in for Inferno<\/strong> is once again Jon Rice<\/strong> (Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats<\/a><\/strong>, ex-Job For A Cowboy<\/a><\/strong>), who has intermittently filled in with Behemoth<\/a><\/strong> live between 2017 and 2022.<\/p>\n “With the deepest regret in our hearts I must inform you that due to health issues Inferno was forced to stay home and take care of his well being and we are enforced by Jon Rice<\/strong> on drums!” wrote Behemoth<\/a><\/strong> frontman Nergal<\/strong>. “Please wish Godspeed recovery to Inferno<\/strong> and cross fingers for Jon to outdo himself and make us sound as powerful as possible!”<\/p>\n Behemoth<\/a><\/strong> is celebrating 33 years as a band this summer with the tour, fetauring a handful of festival stops alongside shows with bands like Testament<\/a><\/strong>, Gaerea<\/a><\/strong>, Pestilence<\/a><\/strong>, and more!<\/p>\n “Wow!
