Gaahl And King Ov Hell may have been banished from Gorgoroth by the Norwegian courts but they have carried on under then name Godseed and are taking the “new” band to the road for Hellfest. They will be headlining the “Rock Hard” stage at the event on June 19th in Clisson, France. The line-up for Godseed for the festival includes Gaahl obviously on vocals, King Ov Hell on Bass, Teloch on Guitar, Ice Dale on Guitar, and Dani “Garghuf” Robnik on Drums. Here’s Carving A Giant from 2006’s Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam.
 

It’s funny, a girl on Twitter yesterday asked me about updates on, as she put it “Gorgorvarg” (Gorgoroth and Varg Vikernes). I open up my RSS this morning and the very first two things are Gorgoroth and Varg Vikerns. Here you go, “BlackDeath9431″.

Even though we saw some great shows and amazing albums in 2008, we’ve also seen our share of craziness. I’ve compiled a list of some crazy things that have happened this year that I can think of off the top of my head.

Byzantine breaks up…3 days after they release Oblivion Beckons.
Light This City break up before releasing the last record.
Arsis changes members more than their underwear.
The Black Dahlia Murder lose a guitarist…steals one from Arsis.
Phil Demmel of Machine Head passes out twice on stage.
DJ Sid from Slipknot breaks both of his feet…keeps on trucking.
Joey Jordison breaks an ankle, cancels UK …read more

Frankly I hate the music of Gorgoroth, it just annoys the sh*t out of me. Every time it come’s on XM I have to turn to the Boneyard. Honestly I would have never guessed or cared far enough to know that Gorgoroth’s Gaahl likes dudes. I have nothing against that, to each his own. I imagine if every rocker or metal artists that is living “In the closet” came out there would be a sh*tload of fans that would be gasping in disbelief.
Want to know more? Swing on over to Metalsucks or Blabbermouth and get the rest of the scoop.
