Adam Darski is known primarily for his many years of performances in the black-death metal band Behemoth, which he co-founded. In the band, he is the main composer, guitarist, vocalist and lyricist, and occasionally also works as a bassist, drummer and keyboardist. By 2014, he and the group had recorded ten studio albums, gaining interest in the broadly understood international heavy metal music scene in the early period of his activity. However, he remained active in the artistic underground for a considerable period of time. After 2002, the band's activities focused on the American music market contributed to a gradual, wider interest in Behemoth's work. As a result, the band led by Darski was the first in the history of Polish pop music whose recordings entered the Billboard 200 in the United States (The Apostasy; 2007).
Over the course of over twenty years of artistic activity, Darski has been involved in numerous projects apart from Behemoth. He was a member of the bands Damnation, Mastiphal and Wolverine. The musician also hosted, among others, on albums by bands such as Root, Hermh, Sweet Noise, December's Fire, Vader, Mess Age, Frontside and Hefeystos. Occasionally he gave stage performances with the bands Times New Roman, Nile, Azarath and Fields of the Nephilim, as well as with producer Andrzej Smolik.
In 2009, Darski started a relationship with pop-rock singer Dorota "Doda" Rabczewska. The relationship, perceived as a misalliance, became the subject of numerous media reports, as well as publications by the tabloid media. The relationship with the singer gave the musician celebrity status. However, the work of the Behemoth band became the subject of media and social discussion, involving representatives of the media, clergy and politics.
