Gorgoroth Issue Post-Tour Update

Gorgoroth have issued an update following the completion of their European Tour:

The European "Twilight of the Idols"- tour have been a great succsess. Lots of people showed up at the gigs and Gorgoroth broke the venuerecord at two venues. Besides the technical problems at the show in Osnabrück, Gorgoroth delivered great shows and Khoaz productions showed themself to be a serious and reliable company which Gorgoroth will continue to work with in the future. Gorgoroth and their support act 1349 had to cancel all the local support acts because of lack of time, technical problems and the need for getting the crew to function at its best. This created a show with unholy norwegian black metal from the beginning to the end. Just the way it is supposed to be. Hail Satan.

In other news Gorgoroth will participate in a canadian documentary about the history of metal along with bands like Metallica, Marilyn Manson, Slayer, Enslaved, Rage against the machine and others. This documentary will be shown on canadian television, film festivals and cinemas. Check back for further information.
