According to wyborcza.pl, Behemoth’s Adam “Nergal” Darski, designer Rafal Wechterowicz, and another individual have formally been charged with disrespecting the national coat of arms of Poland. The charges stem from a design on the band’s “Republic Of The Unfaithful” merchandise. The three pleaded not guilty and will soon be heading to court. If convicted they could face a fine and deprivation of liberty. Nergal commented:
“Well… this is the first thing that hit’s me after coming back from a relaxing and sunny holiday trip. Me and 2 other dudes r accused of profaning Polish emblem. What a bummer! PIS-driven Poland is trying its best to nail my ass down… as an example I guess. But first thing is: it is NOT a Polish emblem. Second… let’s leave those arguments for the court case which is to begin shortly…! Is their limits to their obscurity and blindness? Bring it on!🤜”
