Gorgoroth Claims Victory In Swedish Courts

Photo of Gorgoroth

Band Photo: Gorgoroth (?)

The Gaahl-fronted version of the Norwegian black metaller Gorgoroth have posted the following update:

"The Swedish appeal courts (Hovretten in Malmö) have upheld the earlier decision by authorities at Tingretten in the matter regarding Regain Records unauthorized release of Gorgoroth - True Norwegian Black Metal - Live in Grieghallen.

"Regain Records has been found in violation of copyrights and agreements made with Gaahl and King and is ordered to cease distribution of this release."

What's Next?

The courts probably let him have his way after he threatened to use his force-lightning on them. Gaahl is perhaps the only person I've ever seen whom I've legitametly been scared of. Watch one of his interviews on youtube or on that Metal: aheadbangers journey documentary; the man is terrifying when he speaks, to the point that I can' t help but laugh at how much of a crazy metalhead-satanist he is.

Ya I just watched that just a second ago now that I remembered it, since my friend had told me about this part that would freak me out and make me laugh cuz he knows how I feel about this f***er.

The interviewer asks him a question, and gaahl just...stares...for like 3 straight minutes without blinking or moving before answering his question. The only way I could tell the video wasn't frozen or something was I could see the candle flickering in the background. f***in creepy norway ass-bastard. lol

OMG hilarious. I just watched the VERY end of that video I was just talking about. After those three minutes, Gaahl's eyes just widen a sh** load and stares at the camera for like 20 seconds and then drinks from his wine-goblet thing as the video fades out. I If that much funny had been confined to a single instant instead of spread out, I would have squirt milk out of my nose, and I wouldn't have even had to have been drinking milk. lol

POST 3: I saw all 5 parts to that True Norwegian Black Metal thing! I loved it. Everybody that commented on that on the site were talkin' about why Gaahl did the stare thing. You see, the WHOLE TIME he was trying to emphasize on the fact that people need to follow their own path: next thing ya know the stupid interviewer dude had the balls to ask Gaahl, "Guide me"....F-U-N-N-Y!!!

^_^*LOL* well, to be honest, each part isn't very long. I also like the part where Gaahl takes the reporters to the top of the mountain...the one guy who was complainin' was a pusssssss........"this has nothin' to do w/ metal, I can't go on anymore man! I'm gonna faint!" remember that part? I found his attitude insulting considering the fact that in the beginning of the thing one interviewer specifically told Gaahl that they wanted to know about the man behind the black metal. If something like Gaahl's grandparents' house is important to Gaahl,then I say listen to 'em.

Hey, Nile AND Behemoth were on the Bill last year, so It's not all bad. I went for Lamb of God and Devildriver mostly, but found a few new bands along the way, so win-win. This year's Ozzfest line-up was WAY too much mainstream rock-metal for my tastes though. They had like 20 bands and all I wanted to see was Devildriver and Metallica, so f*** that road trip.

All in all, Ozzfest is only for you if that particular year's line-up tickles your fancy; some years it's crap, other's you get some good tunes and a bloody fist in the mosh pit lol.

I don't know if it's the same one that Kalis and metalhead (or gaahl) have read, but the Satanic bible I got my hands on just made me laugh. It seemed pretty cool, bu the chapter on "How to Sell Your Soul to THe Devil" just had me crackin up. The book was black and pink and had a picture of some bald dude on the back, i guess the author. Are there different versions? Cuz I know thta's pretty much the case with ALL religions. (Christianity: 2000 denominations and counting)

F.A.N, the man in which you speak of pictured on The Satanic Bible you read is that of Anton Szandor LaVey. Leader of The Church of Satan from 1966 untill his death in 1997 (if my memory serves right on the dates.) While Antons CoS was a sound religion it has now been destroyed by Peter Gilmore and the current CoS leaders (with the exception of Rex Church) and not the form of Satanism I am convicted to.

Gilmore has raped the CoS! That a$$hole couldnt even give LaVey ten years in the grave before he went and re-wrote The Satanic Bible and re-named it "Satanic scriptures"! Furthermore he has also thrown out one of the most important thing the CoS started with; question everything and one does not have to agree with any particular member or Magister of CoS! LaVey would be sick to his stomoch if he knew how CoS was being ran!
