Hello everybody. This is an update from my main blog:
Some days ago I have read Gorgoroth is now split up. Infernus in one side, and Gaahl & King (ov Hell) in the other. The problem now is who will keep the Gorgoroth’s name, both parts are fighting for it, wich has turned this into a legal problem.
Infernus has posted a bulletin into the myspace site at oct 21:
“i am writing to inform you about the fact that there has been taken a decision to split up the band, infernus on one side, gaahl and king on the other. we can not continue working together any longer…”
By his part, Gaahl has published a statement on the “Official” Gorgoroth website saying:
“Originally I had the intension 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 raiders etc.) and producers we have worked with over the years which has lead to this decision…”
It looks like only lawyers can solve this problem now!
In the meanwhile Infernus has posted a new bulletin on oct 23 saying thanks to all fans who has shown their support for him. Many people has posted comments at Gorgoroth’s profile saying things like “Gorgoroth is Infernus and Infernus is Gorgoroth”. Infernus also clarifies that he will not be in charge of the “Gorgoroth Official Website” anymore (in fact, if you visit the site you’ll not see Infernus face at start page now ) but he explains he will keep updating and informing from the Gorgoroth’s myspace account.
By their part Gaahl and King has incorporated to Hellhammer (from Mayhem) to their team to create what Gaahl describes as “a force which will only contain members of a strong and creative energy in honor of the art that is Gorgoroth…”
And who deserves the name more?? I will not emmit my opinion yet, because I don’t know enough about the topic, all I can say is Gorgoroth has been one of my most beloved Black Metal bands, I assisted to their concert when they came to my town 3 years ago (in 2004), and now I feel really sad with all this happenings
Let’s hope this problem ends soon with a favorable resolution to both parts… See you soon!
Black Metal lives forever!!
