BEHEMOTH - Polish Court Dismisses NERGAL's “Republic Of The Unfaithful” Artwork Case
August 29, 2024, 4 months ago
In late 2017, Behemoth frontman, Adam "Nergal" Darski, was questioned by Polish authorities in the case of “The Republic Of The Unfaithful”, with the band’s t-shirt design accused of being disrespectful of Poland’s national coat of arms. He, along with two other men (Behemoth webmaster Maciej G. Cała and graphic artist Rafał W.) were eventually charged officially.
Nergal has now shared the following news via social media: "Legions! Huge win! 🇵🇱 After 8 years, Polish court dismissed “Republic of the Unfaithful” case. Censored design is back - symbol of artistic freedom! Coming soon to Behemoth Webstore. Stay tuned!"
A short history of the situation can be found in Nergal's post, below:
Earlier this month, Behemoth released a video trailer for "The Unholy Trinity" European tour, scheduled for April 2025. Find the clip below.
Says Behemoth: "Legions of Europe! It’s that time again… We are beyond thrilled to announce that we’ll be bringing together the blasphemous forces of Behemoth, Satyricon and Rotting Christ for ‘The Unholy Trinity’ European tour." 🔥
