Behemoth frontman Adam “Nergal” Darski recently returned to court to defend himself after being accused of disrespecting Poland’s national coat of arms with a piece of merch. That case was previously dismissed in 2018, but has since been reopened. Nergal said the following:
“So some idiots still claim that “The Republic of the unfaithful” @behemothofficial logo is a sacrilege of Polish national emblem. It is NOT in fact. But they insisted to reopen the case to investigate further. They think that copyrights of white eagle is solely owned by Poland and every other interpretation of the bird is a blasphemy. My antagonists seem to be sooo desperate to nail their favorite scapegoat to their rotten moral cross that they missed all the common sense in the narrative. They accuse us of anti-Polish act. If u ask me, spending hours in the court, engaging all the people around (journalists, judges, lawyers etc etc) spending xxx tax money on another absurd case is DEEPLY anti-Polish. We all could have saved this time to do something creative, couldn’t we?”
