The stage name that he made was Conchita Wurst, where Wurst stand for meaningless and "I don't care", as he thinks that it is not important where you're from and not important how you look, trying to bring the message of equalization between human beings.

The Satanist is Behemoth's 10th studio album, and the first released in 5 years after front man Nergal was diagnosed with leukemia. The blackened death metal album reflects the band's sound by opening with an evil, heavy riff, a great bass tone and of course fast drumming. "The Satanist" track is a stand out, reminding me of "Lucifer" on the album Evangelion. "Messe Noire" finishes with a slower and amazing guitar solo and another stand out is "O Father O Satan O Sun". Below you can watch the opening track, "Blow your Trumpets, Gabriel" and hear for yourself how Behemoth have not disappointed with this release. For anyone who will listen I urge you to buy this album. Since it's release it has been number 1 in several top metal album lists, even reaching the mainstream billboards. It is definitely a favorite of 2014, even competing with the likes of Carcass's "Surgical Steel".
