Behemoth: “That satanic concert must be stopped”

After the performance of August 2024 i Behemoth They return to Italy (the first time was 1988) where they are expected tomorrow evening at the Alcatraz in Milan. This time, however, the arrival in the city of the Black and Death Metal Polish band brings with it a train of controversy.

In a letter addressed to the mayor, Giuseppe Sala and the Prefect, Claudio Sgaraglia, the city councilors of Fratelli d’Italia, in the opposition, ask to cancel the appointment of the musical group, “known for his explicitly anti -Christian messages and for the promotion of satanic symbols and themes”.

“It is unacceptable – add the city councilors of Fratelli d’Italia – that in a city like Milan, the cradle of the Ambrosian tradition, the mayor Sala authorizes a show that is against Christian values”

In addition to the request in the municipal seat, a petition was also opened on the online platform Citizengo entitled “We stop the satanic concert” which has already collected thousands of adhesions.

The petition, in addition to the “leaders” of Palazzo Marino, is also aimed at the property of the restaurant, where the band will hold a concert together with two other extreme metal groups, Satyricon And Rotting Christfor the tour ‘The UNHOLY TRINITY 2025‘. In the text it is denounced that the Behemoth concert promotes Satanism by staging shows loaded with blasphemy.

During the evening the Poles Behemoth will be the last to go on stage after the performances of the Greeks Rotting Christ followed by the Norwegians Satyriconhistoric Black Metal band.

The Polish band is among the Black Alfieri and Death Metal more extreme.
