YOU DO NOT FUCK WITH BEHEMOTH


It's hilarious that freaky religious types are so quick to publicly indict satanist Metal bands, calling them oh say criminals. This despite the fact that only in isolated instances has any satanist -- Metal or otherwise -- committed a crime, while it's well-documented that various Christian institutions have built their legacies on warfare, slaughter, and sexual abuse. And boring ass blathering about bliz-blaz and him-ham. Like total jerk-off Ryszard Nowak, head of the All-Polish Committee for Defence Against Sects, who has been slapped with a big fat libel suit by Adam "Nergal" Darski, head of the All-Polish Committee for Defence Against Hypocritical Fuckwits, aka Behemoth. From Metal Portal:
Nergal is demanding an apology from Nowak in [daily newspaper] Gazeta Wyborcza and three thousand zloty donated to an animal shelter in Gdynia. Nowak claims that his apologies would be a green light to all musicians worshiping Satan, that they can do everything on stage: burn crosses, destroy the bible or just offend Christians. "I'd rather go to prison," Nowak says.

Nowak registered an official complaint with the authorities in Poland regarding a Behemoth concert that took place in Gdynia last September during which Nergal reportedly called the Catholic Church "the most murderous cult on the planet" before tearing up the Bible, stating, "they call it the Holy Book, I call this the book of lies. Fuck the shit, fuck the hypocrisy." In February this year in Gdynia Public Prosecutor's Office initiated the investigation. After three months the investigation had been terminated.
I'm no expert on Poland (except for some lightbulb jokes) but one gets the sense that there are more important issues for public agencies to tackle there besides a guy saying words to people who pay money to see him. Pay to see him say words. Words set to music. And call me crazy, but with or without this clown's apology (and very conservative punitive damages award), Gorgoroth, Watain, Behemoth and untold others will continue to fuck shit up on stage in Poland and elsewhere. And maybe I'm on drugs, but if anything is illegal, it's publicly slandering a law-abiding citizen (and damaging his business interests) and filing nuisance claims based on your dickless, small-minded personal beliefs. Then again, I had chicken tacos for breakfast today. So.
