BEHEMOTH: CONCERT IN POZNAN CANCELLED: "Today we become victims of censorship. Because you still need to call it. Poznań, instead of free culture center, begins to resemble more Ekaterinburg in the Urals (one of the many places in Russia, where so far is due to protests by religious fanatics-was cancelled the concert Behemoth). "


Polish blackened/death metal warriors BEHEMOTH have regretfully announced the bands 10/2014 show in POZNAN, Poland  is CANCELLED due to religious protests and censorship.










ITP V.014 EDITORS NOTE: Due to the "Broken English" context of the way the BEHEMOTH statement was written, it was hard to understand. Other media sources stated BEHEMOTH's 10/2/2014 POZNAN (POLAND) show was moved to another date (10/6/2014) to another venue, read the BEHEMOTH statement below.


BEHEMOTH  unleashed "The Satanist",  2/3/2014 (EUROPE and UK) and 2/4/2014 (NORTH AMERICA) and 2/7/2014 in other districts via METAL BLADE RECORDS..













FROM BEHEMOTH:

Concert in Poznań ultimately cancelled, or how down on national artists in this country has become. Poland was the second country, after Russia, in which for political reasons has been referenced concert Behemoth. I regret to have to announce that on October 6, the team will not play in the Club Eskulap. This morning we with the team to play two concerts in the Club "U Bazyla", when it's just not to drive fans. But after a closer hearing in suboptimal in the Club we decided that such a solution would suffer too much, the quality of our concert. At this stage of his career afford it we can't and we sincerely hope that our fans will understand this, and they wait patiently for the chance to meet with the team.

Facts related to reference two (!) concerts are as follows: at the beginning of the Rector of the Medical University, under the wings of which Club Eskulap, disagreed on 2 October, explaining that this date coincides with the start of the academic year and not fitting for these two events coincided in time. After negotiations conducted by CHURCH Events (concert promoter) of the University authorities, the latter agreed to transfer events on 6 October. We got the approval from the President. The concert sold 700 tickets for the event to the police, everything was dopięte the last button and. .. And then just to our promoter went letter, in which-contrary to earlier findings, the Rector refused to make the concert Club. As the reason given "receive social ' event, mentioned about the protests and religious environments the interests of the safety of students and staff of the University.

We have no doubt is a political decision. Anyway, I have reached the US unofficial information that fell to levels higher than the seat of the Rector. It's not the first time when Poznań mouth down on national artists. Loud case zbojkotowania art "Golgotha" picnic "at the Festival of Malta is just one of these examples. Today we become victims of censorship. Because you still need to call it. Poznań, instead of free culture center, begins to resemble more Ekaterinburg in the Urals (one of the many places in Russia, where so far is due to protests by religious fanatics-was cancelled the concert Behemoth). Article 73 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, which says: "Everyone has the freedom of artistic creation, research and publish the results thereof, freedom to teach, as well as the use of cultural goods". In our opinion, the appeal of the concert due to the pressure exerted by a handful of fanatical frustratów is nothing like podtarcie to this article, as well as the entire Constitution, shit.

Here are the contact details for the University's all concerned, who would like to obtain more detailed explanations concerning the decision of the authorities of the University. Perhaps he betray you, whose political pressure for the cancellation of the event.

Statement and the word shame. ...

As a person awarded by the President of the Republic of Poland gold cross of merit for outstanding contribution to the national culture it is my strong indignation and shame to my city authorities Know due to BAN the concert BEHEMOTH team in Poznan, which was to take place at ESKULAP. This decision strikes not only in culture but also in the freedom of speech, freedom of expression art.
The situation alive from the 80s of the twentieth century when it however it and blocking of art were a daily occurrence.
If the concert of the band BEHEMOTH will take place not in order to please no one ever told me about free and sovereign Polish State, the absence of censorship and the development of kuluralnym.
School-institution of the spirit set up to it were discussed all the phenomena that occur in the world also in the world of art rather than invite Nergala to chat with her students about his art and ideas before it closes the door and before his music?

Dewoci straight from the dark centuries, a group of a few mentally ill people have until the power of exerting pressure on the authorities? Who, therefore, that authority is? Once the Manager of team TURBO Janusz Maslakiem when it is not allowed to print advertising folder due to visible elevated in the picture the hand with the fingers in the form of the letter "V.".What is the round, which can be obalic two fingers "sometimes this can happen as far as we know, that you can and, therefore, whether or not there is concern gentlemen professors and of the present time, with natural we deem these prohibitions for today and tomorrow Behemota for whom? Who's next will not like to obludnikom and a false trail ... the prophets for whom is about facing the Church of the Bishop of Wesolowskiego?
I'll ask so I and content questions let will Polish society and residents of Poznaniw? What's next "who next?"
Polish rock bands, American hard rock musical and metal are more respected abroad, our country you also and my group CETI and i are the perfect example, as Polish scholars, other artists, young educated people, so we all have to move our country to other countries and give way to the place fundamentalistom, oszolomom and darkness, those who model the Communists want to decide what is right and what is notWhat is allowed and what is not, who has the right to play and who doesn't. Our black soul lies dormant in these groups "of concerned and well-wishing citizens", which you already know, after all, in the past, because they are the most yesterday in podsluchwali Church and today to see him running around singing Hossana in the first place.This black soul comes by cowards who prohibit or odnawiaja the right to performance and better look evil and Satan in these people!
I think that I'm not a fan of this music but I respect the Executive level and panache. Nergala I believe to be a man of great sensitivity and a high level of culture.
