Gorgoroth Not Breaking Up

2007-10-24 by Aakon_Keetreh | 23 Comments
GORGOROTH frontman Gaahl has released the following statement regarding the ongoing dispute with Infernus:

"I have registered some concern from friends and fans about the upcoming European tour in November because of the last day's happenings. I can guarantee that the tour will go on as scheduled.

"GORGOROTH has not split up but continued on in a different form. We will do this tour in honor of our working partners, booking agency, promoters and the audience who already bought tickets to the concerts. The alternative would be cancellation, which under no circumstance would I allow at this point in time.

"Originally I had the intention of leaving Infernus with some sort of integrity. The way this case has developed I have no other choice but to reveal some of the reasons why I can no longer work with him.

"First and foremost, it's the disrespect he has shown our working partners; record labels, session musicians, promoters (by sending unserious demands in riders etc.) and producers we have worked with over the years which has lead to this decision.

"In addition, he has not been a creative force for the last eight years. He has shown no interest in the art defining GORGOROTH during that same period of time. He has not shown up for rehearsals and has broken agreements on several occasions. This is also an important reason in explaining why he is not part of GORGOROTH at the time being. He has broken the codex of honor and is not living by his own rules, the rules he set for himself and his surroundings on all levels.

"I have tried for several years my best to continue in the original form in hopes for a change and I have done so in honor of his previous work in GORGOROTH and the fact that he is the founding member. I've hoped that he would become the artist he once was several years ago and I've realized that it will never happen. It's gotten to a point were King and I can't create a fire as long as someone is there pouring water over it.

"I'm not personally involved in the formal part of this, but we have prepared for any given result of this matter. I know our partners have worked on our behalf preparing for what we knew would happen, for example, preparing the legal name copyright and other formal tasks. I'll let the lawyers on both sides argue as much as they want. What is the truth is the truth — and whoever claims otherwise is a false prophet and will be treated accordingly.

"We have reached the conclusion to continue GORGOROTH as a duo because the alternative would be no GORGOROTH at all at this time. King and I have given GORGOROTH content for the last eight years and will bring our art with us into the future. We are already on our way to start a new and improved area of our work. You will, in the following weeks, be presented our agenda to continue to spread true Norwegian black metal through recordings and concerts. We will, with or without the name GORGOROTH, raise the flame higher and brighter than ever.

"The past defines the future, but sometimes you must leave something behind to be able to grow."

that's some real lord of the rings shit right there... at least power metal bands acknowledge that the stuff they sing about is fictitious... these guys need to take their 12sided dice back to the treehouse and meditate on their inner retardedness for a while...

The scary thing is, when Gaahl talks about "treating people accordingly" he usually means putting them in his basement and torturing them to death.

I dont think Gaahl killed the guys he tortured. Didn't he say somewhere that killing them wouldnt be teaching them their lesson? I was under the impression he castrated someone and forced him to drink the blood from the wound.

fuckin metal

Taking the stand in her son's defense, Gaahl's mother testified that she found the accusation of blood drinking particularly hard to believe.

"My son is a vegetarian and very fussy about food. He eats absolutely no innards. That is why I do not believe this at all," Gaahl's mother told the court. The court believed the victim's claim that Gaahl threatened to drink his blood but didn't believe Gaahl actually meant to do it.

how metal is he now, Mmetalforthemasses666?This Message Edited On 10.26.07

How does vegetarianism make you un-metal?

Gaahl is definitely in the top 10 most metal people alive at the moment tbh.
