The frontman of the Polish black / death metal band Behemoth, Nergal (Adam Darski) could face two years in prison for having torn a Bible during a band concert in Gdynia, Poland in 2007. At the time, Nergal  finished in the headlines in his native country, to have said further that the Catholic Church was the "cult murderer on the planet". At the end of the story you can watch a video with the incident.On that occasion, the head of the Polish Committee for Defense Against Sects, Ryszard Nowak, prosecuted Nergal for promoting Satanism. The case did not go on because Nowak was the only one to bring charges, and Polish law requires to be recorded at least two claims before making a formal charge in such cases.Nergal has pleaded guilty to the charge, and has argued that what is on stage, is part of his artistic license, without intent to offend any religious group.
