GORGOROTH - The Battle Continues Over Use Of Name
March 11, 2008, 16 years ago
Gorgoroth.info, the website for guitarist Infernus (who recently lost a court battle to former band mates Gaahl and King regarding the use of the GORGOROTH name) has posted the following update:
"Infernus' former colleagues did not accept the offer that was made on March 4, 2008. His attorney will therefore, on March 14, 2008, appeal the Norwegian Patent Office's initial decision, and also commence legal proceedings in order to have the matter handled by the courts. If everything goes as planned the case could go before the courts in June this year. Infernus is considering not only taking the band name conflict before the courts, but also the matter of certain allegations and untruths propagated about him.The past couple of months Infernus has been busy travelling abroad to meet with his new band members as well as a new producer, and he has also been working on the forthcoming Grieghallen live album, to be released on Regain Records. Some aspects of this live album will probably come as a surprise to both the fans and others. The material for Infernus' next Gorgoroth album, Quantos Possund ad Satanitatem Trahunt, is finished, and what remains now is doing the arrangements and starting rehearsing the material with (Tomas) Asklund (DISSECTION) and (Frank) Watkins (OBITUARY). Rehearsals will begin as scheduled in May in Monolith Studio, Sweden. The aim is to record the drums in this studio in August, 2008, and then use the Laboratório 6 Studio in Brazil (Ophiolatry/Fabio Sperandio) for the recording of all guitars and bass a few months later."
