Now <strong>Nergal<\/strong> has revealed he made the whole thing up. Speaking with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kerrang.com\/features\/nergal-and-the-antifa-t-shirt-controversy-i-like-trolling-and-i-like-provoking-people\/\">Kerrang!<\/a><\/strong>, he commented:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">\u201c\u2026I like stirring the shit up \u2013 that\u2019s my nature. I like  trolling, and I like provoking people. Remember that story of me being  rejected from the YMCA?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">\u201c<strong>Orion<\/strong> [<strong>Behemoth<\/strong> bassist] and I went, but we had to go  back to another gym, and I just made up the story that we were rejected  because of our beliefs, blah, blah, blah. Man! It made headlines all  over the place. People are being fucking outraged\u2026 people saying that I  should get beaten, that my opponents would just be happy about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">And I\u2019m just reading all these comments and all these headlines and  I\u2019m going like, \u2018Why?\u2019 No-one would bother to ask me if it\u2019s true \u2013  because it wasn\u2019t true \u2013 I made up a story. It was again another  occasion that I realised how it\u2019s easy to manipulate people, how to fool  them around and just make whatever you want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past August BEHEMOTH frontman Nergal claimed to have been ejected from a YMCA gym&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=77827"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77827\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77830,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77827\/revisions\/77830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=77827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=77827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=77827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
