From outward appearances, it’s easy to assume that frontman Adam “Nergal” Darski of Behemoth is a rather intense man - and you would be right.
When he chatted with UG at the Devore, CA, date of Ozzfest, the vocalist/guitarist said that he does indeed put every ounce of his energy into writing and performing with Behemoth. If you look at the band’s history, that kind of work ethic isn’t surprising. Nergal has dedicated himself to the band since he was 14 (he’s 30 now), and it’s not uncommon for the band to commit to a tour schedule lasting the majority of the year.
Along with the regular daily grind of touring, the band performs in full, foreboding makeup and usually an elaborate costume to match. A few minutes before Nergal began to perform his regular ritual of transforming into the costumed, ghost-like stage persona for Ozzfest on July 21, he talked with UG at length about Behemoth’s new record Apostasy and the often misunderstood message behind his music.
I liked how he said, 'make a long story short...', then went on to talk for like 10 minutes about what the bands all about. I ****in love behemoth, their music is so powerful.
Nergal is such a down to earth and intelligent guy,he seems really friendly,its not what you expect when you hear the brutal music of Behemoth.I love this band,can't wait to see the video Prometherion
Behemoth played an awsome show at Detroit! Me and some friends were waiting to get into Ozzfest like by all the 2nd stage band's busses and all of the sudden Nergal walked outta one of the busses all "unmasked" We were like NERGAL!! and he said hi and we talked for a little bit. Hes a really nice laid back dude!
I'll admit that I'm not a big fan if Behemoth, but I respect them very much so. Nergal is ****ing intelligent as hell and a very well spoken man. Very humble and knows who he is, not some stupid kid like all the new dumbasses in the scene, I'm calling you out Matt Heafy!
YEY NERGAL but i have 2 say i liked them back when he started the band BLACK METAL DAYS not so much Death Metal days now... but either way BEHEMOTH KICKS ASS!!!
they really do put on an awesome concert i went to ozzfest, there the shit behind, lamb of god, and static-x tied with hatebreed, but alll yuo metal fans know hatebreed is the best 2nd stage band there is
They pronounce the name of the band "Beh-hee-moth" :S I always thought it was "Bay-a-moth"? me too
Behemoth are awesome i brought the apostasy recently it was great
