I went through the same acute leukemia like Adam, I remember I purchased his book ‘Confessions of a heretic’ online while waiting for bone marrow transplant in the hospital, the book gave me so much mental strength and positivity!! I’ll never forget.. Now I’m over 1 year cancer free!

[@tonnievos5680]

good to hear that you are now 1 year canser free

[@Nintendann64]

Congrats dude

[@haydenwhite4381]

I can tell Nergal is genuine. Saw Behemoth in New Zealand a few months ago and was one the best concerts I've been to. Great interview too!

[@sbartholomew-nb2zw]

Nergal is awesome. as a musician, as an artist, and as a human being. so glad we didn't lose him.

[@carmendotnet6805]

This guy cracks me up. Great interview. Thanks!

[@antp4329]

Met them at the airport after seeing them the night before in Adelaide most genuine bloke him and the whole band actually made time for me and had a great chat

[@AaronOneal-e7h]

Same boat. I met both Nergal and Orion after their set back in 08'in Austin Texas @ Stubbs outdoor amphitheatre it was my first heavy metal show ever as a 17 year old kid and they both were exemplary human beings. Signing stuff, chatting and joking shaking hands and it was beautiful. Best time of my life.

[@Draco_Alpha]

what a great interview. before i left Christianity i hated his guts, but after hearing how much his life has changed after his bout with Leukemia years ago and how much his mental health has improved since then i'm inspired. in a weird way it's an answer to prayers i've made for him. i *absolutely* admire him now, and only wish him the best in this life and the next. i was unsure about him and the band, but now that i see Adam's heart and willingness to grow above what he had been dealing with i couldn't be more certain... Behemoth is one of the most genuine bands i've listened to, and i'm happy to see Nergal's progress over the last two decades. he's amazing!

[@W_Strone_Swiatla]

As an atheist, I never ever though of him as a satanist or so. He uses controversial symbols to portrays his rebellion against the norms of hypocritical and dogmatic Christianity. He believes in a free man in absolute sense of that word.

[@Draco_Alpha]

@@W_Strone_Swiatla i agree with you on that... Christianity has been used to control the masses, so we need more people to stand up and oppose it.

[@NicolasMeca]

Nergal is an incredible human being I don't think death metal has to have that "all serious" mascarade. Good thing about any art is the actual permission of doing it freely to express yourself and help others express too. Amazing interview guys🎉

[@forever3797]

Nergal's pretend almost psychopathic laughter already puts me in a great mood

[@PAULJohnson-w4x]

He is awsome and his band is one my favorite bands

[@PAULJohnson-w4x]

Oh Fuck yeah

[@MistiClectiCisM]

I love this new era of metal heads speaking so openly about life and emotions. First video I see on this chanel, I don’t know if the Dance question is a fixed regular but I love extreme metal all the way and am passionate about dancing. I also know quite a few other metalheads who do so too. So is it a death metal concert this weekend or are we dancing psytrance techno or funk ? Sort of thing... Life is not to be wasted as Nergal said. All the colors in between black and white. Thanks for such a great interview!

[@kicsisziszi]

I don't share every notion of this guy but his lust for life and energy is out standing!

[@hrvojehrcobrnica]

Great interview!!

[@SchizoaffectiveMindset]

I don't listen to very much death metal anymore but I used to a lot and he has always been one of my favorite people. And he is Polish too!! 🎉

[@gpjones1986]

I love Nergal being a goof on toktok. He once uploaded a short of his and his mom dancing around the kitchen 😂

[@DarkPriestessJae]

A Polish national treasure. 😘

[@kinginthenorth2928]

It’s a strange how he said he was sick at 33 and my phone percentage was at that same number 😂 Love nergal. I, too have also fought leukaemia and come out the other side. And it going through that experience does change your whole view on life. Now I just want to be with the ones that I love, enjoy the hobbies that I love and live my life to the full🤘🏻

[@bakriproductions8293]

Love nergals out look beast interview

[@KesoUBEkerisik]

I’m catholic, but I believe in Nergal, esp when he said F.U to the Russians invading Ukraine when it escalated (they’re on tour, saw him in a gig) We’re humans, and the religion I grew up with really doesn’t define my taste in music or beliefs. Evil exists, so does good. 🤘🏽

[@W_Strone_Swiatla]

[@adamdam]

Good quick interview guys, remember your interviews with Dillinger Esc Plan back in the day, good stuff!

[@windwarattack2300]

Great Interview

[@juangonzalez-gt6wu]

Is Nergal wearing a The cramps t-shirt, one of my favourite bands !!!???

[@heavymetal1330]

Christina: I ❤ you and your channel!

[@PinkoPallino-f3j]

Great! Nergal! Courage.. rouge cœur. Agape. ❤Lilith

[@shadowsoldiernz]

Big names congrats guys! 🤘🏼

[@blackmantacult]

Whoa! What is he on???!!!

[@ancestrosdelsol9494]

This is what I thought when I was 14, and then I became a man. The ego dies, your own will dies, but God's will is eternal. There's nothing more important than preserving the flame of Christ, the flame of the eternal light! You don't matter.

[@aqua-lj2jo]

I've started using your channel during my ESL lessons for Polish students. Thanks for the interesting content and the variety of accents. Greetings from Poland

[@ericevans7974]

🔥🤘🏻🔥 Nergal

Dominik ❤😊

[@robnhood1416]

4:55 nice Jim Carey impression :D

[@ClandestineMerkaba]

Wow, Nergal's a based guy.

[@devendasmusic]

You can hate nergals politics or whatever, but you can never say that he isn’t a genuine guy. Good for him

[@DesolateSolitude]

💪🏻🇵🇱☝🏻

[@AndrejZlatkov]

Nothing personal, but post cancer records suck incredibly hard, dude forgot what good riffs etc are

[@W_Strone_Swiatla]

[@bosumrall4235]

I love heavy-metal to one day. I hope Nergal will understand that Jesus Christ loves him and wants him to be saved and go to heaven.

[@happynappy]

He will be in heaven. Jesus saved him 2000 years ago by his death and resurrection.

[@bosumrall4235]

But he hast to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and I am talking about Nergal from behemoth

[@happynappy]

@@bosumrall4235 That's your own personal belief. Your personal interpretated theological beliefs about something don't constitute absolute fact. Time for you to wake up and get a hold of this concept. If Jesus couldn't save Nergal 2000 years ago by his death and resurrection, then that would make Jesus a loser and satan the winner. Correct?

[@bosumrall4235]

@@happynappy well my only problem with that is is that nerd didn’t exist 2000 years ago neither did me or you or most anybody else that’s a lie of the day but he did forgive all of our sins when he died on the cross past present and future

[@happynappy]

@@bosumrall4235 What's the lie of the day please tell me?

[@NorthernLycanthrope]

Didn't they take the jabs??????

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

lol, fruitcakes fell for it

[@Chainsaw_HM-2]

Absolutely. He posted pictures on his Instagram. Mind you, this was after the silly YMCA incident as well.

[@er96ck]

Really sad how he insulted his fans as “covidiots” funny how things change in a couple of years 🙄🤔 it’s all good though it’s “safe and effective “ 😉

[@NorthernLycanthrope]

@er96ck did he? What a muppet!.Never liked Behemoth anyway. How can anyone see anybody who took the shots as anything but posers!!?

[@chrispbacon6351]

Sounds like this guy has some problems with his theology. For someone that loves satan so much it doesn’t sound like he’s very excited about meeting him. One day Nergal, one day.

[@W_Strone_Swiatla]

As an atheist (probably he is one as well), I never ever though of him as a satanist at all. He uses controversial symbols to portrays his rebellion against the norms of hypocritical and dogmatic Christianity. He believes in a free man in absolute sense of that word. I hope that helps.

[@mihag7774]

A pozer, narcisstic stuff.

[@brandonharris9160]

Is it poser narcissism or does he work hard and people love his work? Sounds like he is just grateful for what he has

[@Gjallarhorn84]

We've been there in the 90s when je started his band , I've been there seeing him evolving from zero to a legend .

[@W_Strone_Swiatla]

He seems to be a stiff (like a broom in his ass) guy but I think he is really genuine with his message.

[@ericheinke2865]

Great interview!!
