As previously reported, former GORGOROTH members Gaahl and King have signed to Indie Recordings - choosing the new banner of GOD SEED Seed to represent their art in the future.

Imhotep's Roy Kristensen has conducted a short update interview with King. An excerpt follows:

Q: So, the obvious thing is of course, why the name God Seed? The way I see it, it is a name that has some irony to it...

A: “I am fully aware that this name will be made fun out of because of Gaahl's sexual preferences. I couldn’t care less about that part. People with a mind set of 13-year old kids would do that to him anyway. God Seed represent a more spiritual side to us than what Gorgoroth would. God Seed is also the title of a track from our last album released under the "Gorgoroth" banner and in that respect it symbolizes what is brought from the past. God Seed represents the will to grow; the will to be the super man so to speak. I think it’s a suitable name for what we will represent in the future. I am also aware of the fact that we use the word God in the name. It will challenge the weak minded in the respect that we in the past used the word Satan a lot, but it’s all about the same thing. The God within man and the God within nature. I never believed in a Christian force named Satan. I believe in the God within man.”

As previously reported, God Seed have signed to Indie Recordings for the release of their upcoming album.

The album, which has been in the works as a Gorgoroth album, will now be released as the first God Seed album and should be in-stores in late 2009 through Indie Recordings.

King Ov Hell comments: "The past 18 months has been a struggle on many levels. Therefore I’m very excited about God Seed - even on a personal level. Hopefully this will lead to growth to me personally and for the band as a whole. It’s time to use my energy on something that wants to live, rather than to use my energy on something that wants to die and be part of my past!!!"

More details on the upcoming album, lineup, etc. will be announced shortly.
