Adam Nergal Darski〔 (born 10 June 1977 in Gdynia), is a Polish musician and television personality, best known for being the frontman for the black/death metal band Behemoth. == Biography == Darski was born Adam Michał Darski in Gdynia, Poland, raised Catholic, and started playing guitar at age eight. He goes by the stage name Nergal (naming himself after a Babylonian deity), and he is the founder, lyricist, main composer, frontman and manager of the band Behemoth, which he started when he was still a teenager. He also plays lead, rhythm and acoustic guitar. For a brief time he used the alias Holocausto, inspired by Beherit leader Nuclear Holocausto. In late 1990s he was a vocalist and guitarist of the Danzig-influenced band, Wolverine, which was showcasing Nergal's capability of clean singing. He is also known for his contributions with the following bands: Hermh, Nile, Damnation, Vader, Sweet Noise, Mastiphal, December's Fire, Mess Age, Corruption, Hangover, Ex Deo, and Hefeystos. Inspired by Norway's Black Circle, Nergal formed together with Blasphemous (from the band Veles) and Venom (from Xantotol) the Temple of Infernal Fire. Later other bands joined and far-right politics were introduced, and the group renamed the Temple of Fullmoon. Nergal then distanced himself from the group, mainly because he had no interest in politics. This led to remaining members of the Temple of Fullmoon to accuse Behemoth of betrayal and caused tensions between Nergal and Rob Darken, frontman of the Polish NSBM band Graveland, leading to death threats. Several years later, the tensions are gone and Nergal and Darken are in good terms nowadays, or as Nergal said in an interview: "We don't share the same interests but we share a mutual respect."〔http://thequietus.com/articles/14452-nergal-interview-behemoth〕 Nergal has completed six years of history, including one year of Latin at University of Gdańsk, and is qualified to be a museum curator.〔 In 2009, ESP guitars released the first Nergal's signature guitar. It is a 7-string guitar with a V-style body, which is called the "Hex-7".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Behemoth: Nergal ESP Signature Guitar Unveiled )〕 In March 2010, Nergal was held on trial in Poland on blasphemy charges for publicly denouncing religion by ripping up a Bible on stage in 2007. Nergal made the argument that he has artistic license to enhance his live performances by doing such an action, and suggested that it was not meant to be offensive. He also supported that freedom of speech should come before religion in Poland. He faced up to two years in prison due to the Bible-tearing,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Behemoth Frontman Nergal Facing Prison Time Over Bible Tearing Incident In Poland )〕 but Darski's charges were dropped on 28 June 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Behemoth Frontman Off The Hook In 2007 Bible-Tearing Case )〕 In 2011, he assumed the position of a coach on the Polish TV show ''The Voice of Poland''. In July 2012, Nergal became the newest spokesman for Demon Energy drinks that would be distributed throughout Poland. Nergal appeared in full Behemoth attire on the front of four different flavors of the Demon Energy brand alongside the brand's slogan of "No Limits, No Laws". Darski reportedly donated the majority of funds for this limited edition placement to one of the world's most renowned bone marrow donor centers. In October 2012, Nergal returned to the Polish Supreme Court regarding the 2007 incident where he tore up a bible and denounced the Catholic Church. The Supreme Court ruled that Darski could be guilty of the crime of “offending religious feelings” even though he did not act with the "direct intention" of doing so. The case was returned to a lower court which found him guilty of “intentionally insulting the Holy Bible” but the following appeal dismissed the case due to the statute of limitations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Court Rules Against BEHEMOTH Frontman In Bible-Tearing Case )〕〔https://newhumanist.org.uk/articles/4168/poland〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adam Darski」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
