Gorgoroth - Gorgoroth song

After making a pact with the Devil in 1992, Infernus founded Gorgoroth, an early Norwegian black metal band whose contemporaries included Darkthrone, Mayhem, Immortal, Burzum and Emperor. Gorgoroth has released albums on labels such as Nuclear Blast, Century Media, Season of Mist and Malicious Records, and is now signed to Regain Records. Gorgoroth has toured extensively abroad, and the line-up has been subject to several changes - about 25 different musicians have been involved with the band since its inception, with Infernus being the only remaining member of the band's original line-up. After Gorgoroth's controversial gig in Poland in February 2004, massive media attention led to an increase in both notoriety and record sales for the already infamous band. The band also signed a record deal with Regain in the aftermath of this incident. Gorgoroth at present consists of Infernus and Tormentor on guitars, Pest on vocals, Tomas Asklund on drums, and Bøddel on bass. The band has now finished the recording of the next full-length album, "Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt", which will be released by Regain Records in Europe on October 21 and in the US on November 11, 2009.

Gorgoroth é uma banda de Black Metal da Noruega fundada por Infernus em 1992. Durante seu primeiro período atravessou por muitos problemas devido à falta de vontade de alguns membros além da incompatibilidade musical e ideológica.

História

A banda Gorgoroth foi formada na Noruega por Hat, Goat Pervertor e Infernus, no início dos anos noventa. Hat fez os vocais, Goat a bateria e Infernus a guitarra. O nome Gorgoroth foi retirado do livro O Senhor dos Anéis, de J.R.R. Tolkien, a região onde está situada Mordor. Em1993 o Gorgoroth lança sua primeira demo, chamada A Sorcery Written In Blood.

Depois da demo, o Gorgoroth assina com a Embassy Records, onde eles lançam o primeiro álbum, Pentagram, em 1994. Samoth, da banda Emperor, tocou baixo neste álbum. Após o lançamento de Pentagram, Goat e Samoth deixam a banda.

Em 1996 a banda assina com a Malicious Records, que relançou o Pentagram. Neste mesmo ano eles lançam seu segundo álbum, Antichrist. As participações neste trabalho são de Pest, da banda Obtained Enslavement, que fez os vocais, e Frost do Satyricon, que gravou a bateria, enquanto Infernus ficou responsável pelo baixo e guitarra. Hat gravou os vocais de 3 faixas. O álbum Antichrist foi um tributo a Euronymous, assassinado por Count Grishnackh.

Additional notes

During October 2007, Gorgoroth members Gaahl and King decided to kick founding member Infernus out of the band. A legal battle over the rights of the name and logo between Infernus and Gaahl / King then ensued. Gaahl and King carried on touring without Infernus for around 18 months after copyrighting the band's name [...]
