DEAR NERGAL: PLEASE DON’T EVER APPEAR IN PUBLIC WITHOUT CORPSE PAINT AGAIN

 Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 at 1:15pm by

Behemoth are getting ready to record their Metal Blade debut, and like every other band in the known universe, they’ll be releasing a series of webisodes to attempt to get their fans all hot n’ bothered and build some pre-release hype (in which I now find myself, at least for the moment, a willing participant).

The initial webisode covers pre-production, which means we get a glimpse of the band sans their usual make-up corpse paint, which, at least for me personally, ruins the illusion that Nergal is a bad-assed motherfuckin’ anti-christ and reminds me that he’s really just some Polish dude named Adam Darski.

    I’m interested already.

    Nergal looks like he just wants to get rehearsal over with, go back to the hotel room, take a bubble bath and read a book.

  • Vincent

    That Nergal is so upset with the Bible and takes pictures of himself (!!!!) desecrating it reminds me that he’s mentally 12 years old.

  • Conduit

    Whatever, I’ll take regular schmuck any day over a grown up in black and white clown makeup.

  • Iron Mayden

    I have always thought bands that use corpse paint or masks are kind of silly. There is always this expectation that they must go everywhere in costume and people get dissapointed when they turn out to be just regular people who aren’t going to throw on corpse paint everytime they are in public. Nonetheless, it doesn’t mean they don’t rock!

    excitement. that some “obey the dark lord” shit right there!

    For some reason, when I listen to them speak, I can’t help but think of how sleepy Polish food makes me when I eat it in Greenpoint. I also can’t help but think of the shits these dudes are taking. Why I am I thinking about that? Why can I not avoid thinking about that? What the fuck is that about? What is wrong with me?

    Maybe this will be the CD that convinces me that my fellow conturymen can make good metal records.

  • Malacoda

    This sounds awesome. Can’t wait.

    Yeah I saw him first without his corpse paint on a commercial for some guitar lessons on my On Demand, not terribly intimidating. Kinda like expecting Alice Cooper and meeting Vincent Furnier. My countryman is also qualified to be a museum curator if Wikipedia serves me right.

    Corpse Paint or not, Nergal’s still a badass.

    I really like the sound so far. It seems to have more of a black edge to it than they’ve had lately. I’m also hearing more of that triumphant sound that made Demigod so wicked but was severly lacking on The Apostasy.

    These guys are capable of a masterpiece, I just wanna hear them do it.

    So, insulting him and then calling him a bad ass…and then compliment the band makes it okay to disrespect the man?

    hopefully there will be a Danzig moment with you punks-

    I love Behemoth – and speaking of Polish metal Vader kicks ass too. XXV was a very overlooked release on everyone’s best of 2008. The remake of Reign – Carrion is awesome. Nergal is a badass and anyone who pisses off Xtians with extreme metal is a hero. The Apostasy was a bit neutered but Behemoth will deliver the goods. Inferno is a colossus on drums and Nergal comes up with some pulverizing and evil riffs. Hail Behemoth!

    Nergal definitely looks like he smokes those hard to find American Marlboro reds and goes to the electronic dance music club in Warsaw to check out the beautiful ladies.

  • canea

    i don’t really care if he’s a “bad-assed motherfuckin’ anti-christ” or not if the record is good. And so far it sounds great.

  • Paxl Rose

    Those wacky Behemoth guys foolin’ around in the studio!

  • Jilliebob

    i met nergal when i saw behemoth in feb last year, he’s a really nice guy!
    it was really strange seeing him without his makeup on though!

    Nergal looked so tired!
    his tour bus went and parked up a short way from the venue so me and my mate drove him back to his tourbus cause it left before he got everything we needed!

  • nemesis

    Yeah, but look at his fiancee, she’s polish biggest pop star and a Playboy model :
