Behemoth Frontman Nergal Facing Prison Time Over Bible
Tearing Incident In Poland
Gazetaprawna.pl has reported front man Nergal (Adam Darski) of
Polish death metal band Behemoth has officially been charged with
insulting the Roman Catholic Church, which is a crime in Poland
that carries a penalty of up to two years in prison. The charge
stems from an incident in 2007 when Nergal tore a bible apart on
stage and referenced the church as being a murderous cult. A video
of the concert that caused the charge can be viewed below. Nergal
has stated that tearing apart the Bible was part of his artistic
work and was not meant to offend religious sensibilities. More
details on the case will be announced as they are made
available.
