Between the gang of moshers playing a heated game of Uno in the Unify pit, or the mad lad eating a can of baked beans in the midst of a Warped tour circle pit, it’s fair to say we’ve seen our fair share of mosh pit shenanigans. However, we feel very lucky to have never been exposed to a couple getting too touchy-feely in a pit. Unfortunately, Behemoth frontman Nergal can’t say the same.

During Behemoth’s set at Roskilde Festival over the weekend, Nergal witnessed what can only be described as an affront to god. According to the frontman, a couple engaged in oral sex for a “good 5-10 minutes” in the middle of the pit during the bands set.

The frontman viscerally described the debacle in a post on Instagram. “Well, I’m no veteran but I’ve seen things. I’ve seen a lot,” he began. “Yesterday we wrapped up a festival season at the legendary Roskilde Festival in Denmark. The show was really good, pretty tight and with a passionate response from local viking squad.

“I’m happy to see ANY reaction to our music really. I’m good with anything but indifference. I’m ok with a lil dose of violence, people throwing pieces of their wardrobe, ppl flipping me off, bulling me, girls showing titties… it’s ALL good! But in my almost 30-year career I’ve NEVER seen a couple making out right in front of stage in the epicenter of the fuckin’ pit!

“Holy shit! Half naked lady was kneeling in front of half naked dude blowing him for good 5-10 minutes while he was raising fists and singing along to our love songs! How cool is that hm?!? It feels good to know that Behemoth is corrupting legions on soooo many levels! LOVE IS THE LAW, DEPRAVATION LEVEL PRO.”

We admire Nergal’s impassioned response but we plead with you, please do not let gobbies become the next shoey.
