Ordo Blasfemia A GoFundMe By Adam Darski

We here at Rue Morgue Records are staunch believers in the separation of Church & State. And whilst we are based in a country which largely adheres to this edict, many others don’t. Many others are persecuted and prosecuted for their beliefs and or lack of beliefs. In Poland, for example, there has been a balls to the wall witch-hunt for Behemoth’s Adam Darski for many, many years. This needs to stop.

Darski, better known as Nergal, has set up a GoFundMe page to raise some funds to assist with massive legal costs the befall him and other artists against nonsensical ‘blasphemy’ charges(!!!)

Rue Morgue Records has donated to the fund and we urge you to help in any way you can.

DO SO HERE!

My name is Nergal and I am an artist from Poland. For over a decade I have been confronted with numerous attempts to permanently destroy my career on the basis that I have harmed ‘religious feelings’. It sounds absurd and I can assure you, it is.

Many Polish artists, including myself, have been dragged into court rooms, at our own significant costs, to defend ourselves against nonsensical blasphemy laws made by tenuous Politicans. Their intent is to censor anyone who does not conform to the archaic religious laws of our country. The time has come for Polish artists to fight back – join us in the Ordo Blasfemia.

Your donation will help fund a sustainable legal challenge to squash the existing and incoming bogus prosecutions. Help us reach the target so we can distribute to other artists facing their own legal challenges.

If you are unable to donate – thank you for your support. Please keep checking back in and sharing updates!
