Controversy

See also: Gorgoroth: Controversy in Kraków (2004)

The concert featured sheep heads on stakes, "crucified" nude models, Satanic symbols, and eighty litres of sheep blood. The band came under fire for violating Polish anti-blasphemy laws as well as Polish animal rights laws. A police investigation took place with allegations of religious offence (which is prosecutable under Polish law) and cruelty to animals.[3] Though these charges were considered, the band was not charged as it was ruled that they were unaware of the fact that what they were doing was illegal, although the concert organiser was eventually fined 10000zł in 2007 as he knew about it and neither informed the band that it was against the law nor intervened.[4] The whole controversy led to the band being dropped from the roster of the Nuclear Blast Tour and the footage of the concert being confiscated by the police.[5]

Notes

On the Destroyer tracks in Leipzig and in Kraków, a mistake was made and a part of the Incipit Satan track is under Destroyer rather than Incipit Satan.
