But, Behemoth has apparently been detained by Russian officials for having the “wrong visas.”
The band’s currently on tour overseas.
Says frontman Nergal:
“We’ve been stopped by the immigration services for ‘wrong visas.’ When I said that we will not move an inch from the club without someone from the Polish embassy, they threatened to force us out. They took us in a bus, accompanied by 10 officers, to the building of Federal Migration Service.
“We tried to reach polish embassy in Jekaterinburg but no one is answering the phone. If possible — please copy this message and pass it everywhere you can. We may expect a multihour hearing. The concert is off for sure. The only thing we want is to get back to the hotel safely and then — to Poland. No matter how hard we try — we cannot pass it all.”
