Me And That Man

About

Me And That Man isn't just a side project; it's Nergal, the Behemoth frontman, exorcising his demons through blues-drenched Americana. Shedding the infernal robes of black metal, he trades blasphemy for brooding introspection, crafting narratives steeped in the dust and decay of the Southern Gothic. While traces of his metallic intensity linger, Me And That Man thrives on acoustic grit and gallows humor. The project's genesis saw collaborations with John Porter, adding a distinct vocal texture, but the sound has since evolved, with Nergal becoming the sole constant. This evolution has embraced diverse influences, from Nick Cave’s bleak storytelling to Johnny Cash's outlaw swagger, resulting in a sound that's both familiar and strikingly original. Albums like "Songs of Love and Death" and "New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol. 1" cemented their place, showcasing an impressive roster of guest musicians from across the metal and rock spectrum, including Corey Taylor, Brent Hinds, and Matt Heafy. Me And That Man isn't afraid to confront darkness, but it does so with a knowing wink. It's a journey into the heart of Americana seen through the eyes of a metal icon, a testament to the power of reinvention and the universality of human suffering. Recent work and tour dates suggest a continued exploration of this unique sound, proving that Nergal's creativity knows no bounds.
