NERGAL IS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL

Nergal sends a message to cancer. Photo by Jeremy Saffer.

And finally, some good news to end the day: Nergal has apparently completed his treatment for lukemia and is out of the hospital and staying with his folks. Yes, Nergal is staying with his parents while he recovers. I love that there are assholes all over Poland who want this dude burned at the stake, but his mom and dad are still proud of him. Awesome.

ANYWAY, according to Metal Injection, “due to the cold weather and his weak immune system after the transplant, he has to stay in and cannot even see his girlfriend, for fear of infection.” Which is rough now, especially because I’m sure that Nergal is anxious to get back to this, but it will surely soon pass. And then Behemoth can make their triumphant return!

Continue to send Nergal good thoughts in the comments section.

    FUCK YEAH!
    behemoth is finally hitting its stride and it would have been a shame to let it die now of all times.

  • chainchomp

    this is very good news indeed.

    I knew he could conquer leukemia. Right on Nergal! \m/

      Conquer All.

  • MikeH

    Nergal deserves all the best! He works too hard to falter at any hurdle. Not only has he done well with himself, he has raised awareness all over the world and the bone marrow register is going mad!

      Nergal Hurdle!

  • Koozy

    May the cosmos heal Nergal with haste. The world of \m/ anxiously awaits.

    Best news of the day… and all the haters in Poland and everywhere else can suck it

  • RomuluXX

    Fuck off, cancer. Recover swiftly, Nergal, and get back to crushing souls!

    This is great news. Dio was a pretty big loss last year for metal, but the trade off to keep around one of our greatest musicians is a great thing. Nergal (Adam Darski) shall command the world with his greatness.

  • Chainsword

    Fuck yes!!!!!!!

  • datrick

    very happy to hear this. congrats nergal.

  • ACoffinShip

    Fuck yeah, Nergal. Be well and continue churning out must that is akin to being savagely punched in the face.

    In a good way.

  • bowing headds

    Dear cancer: Fuck you!
    Sincerely, everybody.

    Excellent news indeed. Nergal is one of the most intelligent people out there, not just as a musician. His knowledge of history and mythology qualify him as a museum curator (according to wikipedia), and this man knows more of the evils of religion and suppression of free speech than damn near anybody.
    I’m 50 years old and I dig Behemoth for standing up against the hypocrisy and evil that is modern religion. Nergal is a champion of freedom of expression, especially when one considers the oppressive country he lives in. His story is an excellent example of following your heart and standing up to the man who would cut you down given half a chance. Here’s hoping you’re out offending idiot clergy all over the world soon, Mr. Darsky.

    • xfkx

      oppresive country ? Oh come on now…

      Anywho, i’ve been cheering for Nergal so this is great news! Gratulacje!

        This part of the main post was great too: “I love that there are assholes all over Poland who want this dude burned at the stake, but his mom and dad are still proud of him.”
        You got to admire people who don’t let their lack of knowledge about an issue stop them from voicing an opinion.

  • jethr0skull

    Nergal made that christian cancer his bitch

  • Dean

    Best news I have read on this site in a while.

    Nergal, may the time you need to spend isolated and fearing infection pass speedily. If you feel the walls moving in toward you, just remember that there’s thousands of people around the world who are all behind you.

    I love you man!!!!! What else can I say?!You are GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • yzermantiis

    Not a big Behemoth fan, but this is great news nonetheless.\m/

  • Black Shuck

    Hail Nergal! Good luck on the rest of your recovery! Horns of respect. \m/

  • Icewind666

    Wow. No wonder he survived cancer. Did you see his girlfriend? Holy crap, how did he pull that one off? Anyhow may you heal quickly and get back to that fine piece of….

    • Dubs

      Fuck… if she was my girlfriend I could undo a clogged artery with sheer will-boner power alone…

    FUCK YEAH.

    Hail Nergal and Behemoth! But how do you still have your hair?

      ………..I don’t think that’s a post-chemo picture………but yeah short-haired Nergal will take some getting used to, until it grows back.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/David-Dobre/1525164231 David Dobre

        I know that wasn’t post chemo, it clearly show’s 2009 on it.

        It was more of a joke. >_>

  • Random

    Hate to be the pessimist here, but if he’s out of hospital there’s an equal chance there just isn’t anything more to do for him. He could be cured or he could..not… Hopefully he’s recovered, but I won’t believe until there is an announcement saying so. I remember with Dio where everything was looking great, then it wasnt.

  • Brian \m/(-_-)\m/

    to quote a comment on the post in which nergal responded to his critics:
    FUCK LEUKEMIA, I AM NERGAL \m/

  • Mordecai 9000

    Nergal: 1
    Leukemia: 0

    ALL HAIL!

  • The Overmatt

    Fucking A. Get well soon Nergal, can’t wait for you to come through on another tour, even agrier and more savage than the last.

  • Perpetual Black Screen Name

    Fuck yea! This is amazing news to end the day. I knew he could pull through.

  • Driven9

    Good news for sure

  • DecrystallizingReason

    A dude who wears corpse paint has a girlfriend like THAT? This is a victory for metalheads everywhere! My faith in the universe has been restored. The only thing greater than that is obviously this positive turn of events for Nergal’s health. I want to see him healthy and back on top of his game with a new Behemoth album in 2012!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Rob-Dornenburg/14221549 Rob Dornenburg

    I thought for sure he was done for when they announced it was leukemia. Glad to know Nergal will be back and hopefully better than ever. The next Behemoth record will probably be amazing. Hail Satan.

    Ahh, there can’t be anything better that telling death to get fucked. I’m in a good mood now.
    Good for you Nergal

    ALL HAIL THE MIGHT BEHMOTH!

    wishing you all the best metal brother

  • Doug

    I’m very happy to hear this news. I hope Nergal has a restful recovery time and never suffers any ill effects. Get well, brother! Hail Behemoth!

  • Vomit Nest

    ” he… cannot even see his girlfriend, for fear of infection”

    Jeez – I hope she doesn’t read this – that’s an awful thing to say about her!

    And for the record – most Polish girls are smoking hot; and while we’re at it (racial generalisations) most of the fellas are hideously ugly muscled thugs. Well, I’m assuming she is Polish like…

  • WowWee!

    Another sign for greatness this year!

  • Fucktard

    This means either they are sending him home to die or to recover. Hopefully to recover bc Behemoth is killer.

    And dude’s gf is hot as fuck no question.

  • fenris

    good for him – but behemoth still sucks

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Andrew-Sterner/1335958279 Andrew Sterner

    I wish him the best…but how did he nab that? I’ve seen the guy without make-up…and goddamn. I bet he’s hung like a horse. Yeah, that makes sense.
