Behemoth Detained In Russia

Behemoth were touring in Russia, in support of their latest album The Satanist, when the band was detained for having the “wrong visas.” Behemoth vocalist, Adam “Nergal” Darski , posted a message to fans on the band’s Facebook page, in Polish, and it has since been translated into English by Blabbermouth.

The translation reads like this:

“We’ve been stopped by the [Russian] immigration services for ‘wrong visas.’ When I said that we will not move an inch from the club without someone from the Polish embassy, they threatened to force us out. They took us in a bus, accompanied by 10 officers, to the building of Federal Migration Service. We tried to reach polish embassy in Jekaterinburg but no one is answering the phone.

“If possible — please copy this message and pass it everywhere you can. We may expect a multihour hearing.

“The concert is off for sure. The only thing we want is to get back to the hotel safely and then — to Poland. No matter how hard we try — we cannot pass it all.”

Now fans will have to wait to see how the rest of this situation plays out.
