A POLISH POLICITAL PARTY IS GOING AFTER NERGAL!

According to Gazeta.pl, two and a half years after Behemoth frontman Nergal destroyed a bible during a concert in Gdynia, Poland, PiS (Prawo i Sprawiedliwosc) Polish Law and Justice claims that, "Behemoth has issued a massive attack on Catholics."

In 2007, Nergal made headlines when he reportedly called the Catholic Church "the most murderous cult on the planet" during a show in Gdynia and tore up a copy of the Bible onstage.

Orion, Behemoth's bass player, said: "A Behemoth show is a Behemoth show, and Behemoth fans are coming to a Behemoth show. Behemoth fans know what Behemoth is about, know what the lyrics are about, and know at least a little of the philosophy behind the band. So, it's kind of surprising that there are people coming to the shows and feeling offended with what we do onstage. If such a person comes to a show, he comes with the purpose of being offended, I guess, and it shouldn't be like that. We're not offending any particular person. We're just offending the religion that we've been raised in."

The case has been reopened and the prosecutors are investigating whether Darski committed a crime by destroying the Bible, which professor Krzysztof Kowalik of University of Gdansk calls an object of religious worship that should be treated with respect.

Nergal has not made a comment, because he is slaying people on tour right now. LONG LIVE BEHEMOTH!

absolutely ridiculous if Nergal has to pay a fine or do jail time.
