The ESP Guitar Company

If you like your death metal on the dark side, here's a tour that you don't want to miss. Behemoth, the often controversial metal band from Poland, will soon be embarking on a tour of North America where they'll be performing their latest album The Satanist in its entirety. the band has just wrapped up the successful European leg of the tour. Behemoth features ESP players Adam "Nergal" Darski, the band's frontman and founder, as well as bassist Tomasz "Orion" Wróblewski.

You might recall when, in 2010, Nergal had a close brush with death when diagnosed with a severe form of leukemia. After a bone marrow transplant and other treatments, Nergal made an astounding recovery, and Behemoth released The Satanist in 2014. Nergal's Signature Series guitar, the LTD HEX-7, is a menacing V-shaped 7-string model with neck-thru-body construction.
