#259: Behemoth's Nergal

This week our guest is Adam “Nergal” Darski of Behemoth. Nergal
tells us about the pressure of following up The Satanist, why he is
proudest of the modern era of Behemoth, the amount of energy he
puts into the visual aspect of the band, how his music belongs to
the fans after it's been released, and why he still spends
thousands of dollars on records. We also chat about how he was
recently banned from Facebook, coming under fire for racially
charged remarks he made on Instagram following Poland's loss to
Senegal in the World Cup, the difficulties of communicating with
people who have different views, the difference between being
anti-religious and spiritual, and why he is against nationalistic
movements. Petar, Brandon, and Jozalyn speculate on the “horrible
thing” that occurred to ex-Ghost guitarist, share our thoughts on
Phil Demmel’s Instagram post about his exit from Machine Head,
discuss Axl's article about the next big trend in metal, and wax
ecstatic about Filter reuniting the team from Short Bus.
