The Polish band Behemoth won Fryderyki Award at the Polish Grammy’s awards. Their last album Opvs Contra Natvram was rewarded in the “Metal Album of the Year” category.

Nergal posted on facebook an emotional message:

“I’ve mentioned that on many occasions: NO awards have ever been a driving force to start and maintain Behemoth for me.

But I’d be a liar if I said it was not touching, emotional and very much rewarding to be standing there with Inferno, Orion and Seth when receiving FRYDERYK award for our latest album “OPVS CONTRA NATVRAM”. But what’s even more meaningful was the fact that Behemoth played LIVE on stage on a national TV with full force artillery making NO artistic compromise. “Malaria Vvlgata”, its lyrics and violent sonic nature is a perfect statement of WHO we are and what we stand for. Hereby I’d love to express my deepest gratitude to legions worldwide for being integral part of this success. Michal Wardzala from @mysticproduction for having balls to be consequently supporting Behemoth ever since. In the meantime, we’ll keep on being one of the most hardworking bands on the planet playing our own game.

Hail Satan.”
