Behemoth frontman and demigod Nergal performed onstage for the first time this past Friday since his bone marrow transplant last winter. Nergal made a guest appearance during a set in his home country, Poland, by English goth rockers Fields of the Nephilim. He provided vocals on the song “Penetration.”
“I don’t remember when the last time I was that nervous,” said Nergal. “I’m still not 100 percent in shape so I didn’t know how my body would react.” Nergal was diagnosed with leukemia this past August, but the vocalist/guitarist underwent a successful bone marrow transplant and is on the road to recovery. Behemoth plan to be back onstage this October.
“What a blast, I have to tell you. I had a serious adrenaline rush, and it was such a boost of energy I can’t even describe,” Nergal said about Friday’s performance. “I’m counting days until we come back with Behemoth full time. Five months to go.” Check out a video of the performance below.
