          Have any of you seen Metal: A Headbanger's Journey?  That lead singer has THE funniest quote ever.  When asked, "What do you think of when I mention black metal?" he paused, stirred his large wine glass in his hand for a bit, then finally responded, "...Satan."  I laughed so hard when I saw it.  It's probably one of those things that's only really funny when you see it, but man, so funny.

            Absolutely.
             
            In fact, somewhere in this thread is a YouTube link to that very scene. One of the best movie scenes EVER.

                GORGOROTH Documentary In The Works - Jan. 9, 2007 
                 
                Peter Beste of Vice Films is currently in Norway making a documentary about vocalist Gaahl of the black metal band GORGOROTH. The resulting footage will appear on a Vice DVD with several other related segments. The first pressing of this DVD is 100,000 units, and will be distributed in all major music retailers in the U.S. and most in Europe.

                As previously reported, Gaahl, was released from prison last month after being jailed since the spring of 2006. He was sentenced to 14 months in prison in February 2005 for beating a 41-year-old man and threatening to drink his blood. The 31-year-old, whose real name was not revealed by the Norwegian media, was charged with a crime that carries a maximum penalty of nine years in prison. The original 18-month sentence, which was handed down in May 2004, was reduced by four months while the amount in damages Gaahl was required to pay to the victim was increased from 100,000 NOK (approximately $15,000) to 190,000 NOK (approximately $29,000).

                GORGOROTH is among the artists that have been nominated in the "Metal" category at the 35th annual Spellemann awards (the Norwegian equivalent to the Grammy Awards). The largest and oldest Norwegian music awards show will be held Saturday, January 27 at the Thalia Theater, Chateau Neuf in Oslo, Norway and will be broadcast live on the Norwegian channel TV2. Other nominees in the "Metal" category are BENEA REACH (for "Monument Bineothan"), ENSLAVED ("Ruun"), and KEEP OF KALESSIN ("Armada").

                GORGOROTH entered the national chart in Norway at position No. 22 with its latest album, "Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam". The CD received a U.S. release in July 2006 through Candlelight.

                GORGOROTH has been confirmed for this year's edition of the Party.San Open Air festival, set to take place August 9-11, 2007 in Bad Berka, Germany.

                              I can see the newsflash now:
                              "This just in, a documentary on Gorgoroth was released to the public. Surpisingly only 16338 copies have been sold."

                                    To answer your question, I'll quote Gaahl.



                                    ...Satan.

                                        Thnx. I was wondering if it was either what you said or perhaps that you had merged threads. Sorry if this came across as a silly question. I'll just go off and sacrifice some sheep now and cover myself with their blood and entrails.

                                                      GORGOROTH Frontman Calls For More Church Burnings; Police To Investigate - Jan. 27, 2007 
                                                       
                                                      According to the Norwegian newspaper Bergens Tidende, the police in Bergen, Norway have launched an investigation into recent statements made by GORGOROTH frontman Gaahl regarding a spate of church burnings that took place in Norway in the early Nineties.

                                                      In an interview that some consider to be the highlight of "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey", the acclaimed Canadian documentary which was broadcast on Norway's Lydverket NRK 1 this past Wednesday (Jan. 24), Gaahl stated about the string of arson attacks linked to the Norwegian black metal scene, "Church burnings and all these things are, of course, things that I support 100 percent and it should have been done much more and will be done much more in the future. We have to remove every trace from what Christianity and the Semitic roots have to offer this world. Satanism is freedom for the individual to grow and to become Superman. Every man who is born to be king becomes king. Every man who is born to be a slave doesn't know Satan."

                                                      Speaking to Bergens Tidende after "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" aired on Norwegian TV, Gaahl reiterated his position on the church burnings, insisting that he was dead serious about what he said in the movie and that it wasn't something he stated simply for shock value.

                                                      GORGOROTH is one of the artists that have been nominated in the "Metal" category at the 35th annual Spellemann awards (the Norwegian equivalent to the Grammy Awards). The largest and oldest Norwegian music awards show will be held tonight (Saturday, January 27) at the Thalia Theater, Chateau Neuf in Oslo, Norway and will be broadcast live on the Norwegian channel TV2.

                                                      Bishop Ole D. Hagesaether of Bjoergvin Diocese told Bergens Tidende, "If these proclamations regarding church burnings are serious, then it is a grave situation. We have experienced this before." Hagesaether also raised the question how those who are involved with the nominating committee for the Spellemann awards could avoid considering simple, basic moral issues when coming up with the final list of nominees for Norway's most prestigious music honor.

                                                      According to a posting on GORGOROTH's official web site, Gaahl was released from the Norwegian prison in December after being jailed since the spring of 2006.

                                                      Gaahl was sentenced to 14 months in prison in February 2005 for torture and committing ritual acts. It was alleged he beat his victim — a man who had turned up uninvited and inebriated to an after-hours party at his house — threatened to sacrifice him and gave him a cup into which to bleed. Acting as his own defense, Gaahl claimed in court that he had been attacked first and his assailant was only provided with a cup "so that he wouldn't make such a mess in my house."

                                                      In an interview with the U.K.'s The Observer which was published in February 2005, the singer refused to discuss his version of events in detail now for fear of prejudicing the outcome of the trial, but insisted he was attacked as part of a hit organized by a man with whom he had a prior dispute.

                                                      The use of violence, according to Gaahl, is only necessary when people cross his clearly defined borders. "Everything deals with respect," he told The Observer. "The way I think of it is that you have to punish ... or teach," he corrected himself, "anyone that crosses your borders so that they won't do it again."

                                                      Gaahl's ethical code derives from Odinism, the pagan religion of the Vikings that predates Christianity in Norway and is also the occult philosophy that underpins black metal. Many in the scene have adopted or adapted names from Norse mythology.

                                                      "Black metal was never meant to reach an audience," Gaahl told The Observer. "It was purely for our own satisfaction. Something entirely self-centered. The shared goal was to become the true Satan; the elite human, basically. The elite are above rules. So people did what they wanted to do. And they had a common enemy which was, of course, Christianity, socialism and everything that democracy stands for, especially this idea that every man is alike and equal to his neighbour. That, of course, is a fake."

                                                      Gaahl's extremist outlook is undoubtedly influenced by his surroundings. He lives on a farm three hours outside of Bergen, isolated from the mass of humanity. "My family owns three mountains," he said. 'There's not much else around there. Love of nature is a big part of black metal. It's easy to feel isolated in nature. And solitude and distance from everyone else is very important to us."

                                                            I love how this guy is complaining that Norway 'doesn't burn enough churches anymore.' Is he scared they'll get taken off the Register of Satanic Places? That could really hurt the tourism business, ya know? Peeps from Xenia, Ohio just won't care anymore. They'll just stay at home with their own necroness.

It was alleged he beat his victim — a man who had turned up uninvited and inebriated to an after-hours party at his house — threatened to sacrifice him and gave him a cup into which to bleed. Acting as his own defense, Gaahl claimed in court that he had been attacked first and his assailant was only provided with a cup "so that he wouldn't make such a mess in my house."

                                                                                Infernus (real name: Roger Tiegs) and a friend (whose identity has not been revealed by the Norwegian media) were found guilty in 2005 of raping the woman. They were both sentenced to three years in prison. In January 2006, the court of appeals upheld Tiegs' friend's rape conviction, but found no evidence to support the rape charge against the GORGOROTH guitarist.

                                                                                The actual charge Tiegs was convicted of is what is reffered to as "gross negligent rape," a provision introduced in 2000. In order for someone to be convicted of gross negligent rape, he would have to be seriously to blame for not understanding that the aggrieved person did not want intercourse. The maximum sentence for gross negligent rape is five years, but is being raised to eight years in more aggravated cases.

                                                                                GORGOROTH frontman Gaahl was released from the Norwegian prison in December after being jailed since the spring of 2006.

                                                                                Gaahl was sentenced to 14 months in prison in February 2005 for torture and committing ritual acts. It was alleged he beat his victim — a man who had turned up uninvited and inebriated to an after-hours party at his house — threatened to sacrifice him and gave him a cup into which to bleed. Acting as his own defense, Gaahl claimed in court that he had been attacked first and his assailant was only provided with a cup "so that he wouldn't make such a mess in my house."

                                                                                In an interview with the U.K.'s The Observer which was published in February 2005, the singer refused to discuss his version of events in detail now for fear of prejudicing the outcome of the trial, but insisted he was attacked as part of a hit organized by a man with whom he had a prior dispute.

                                                                                The use of violence, according to Gaahl, is only necessary when people cross his clearly defined borders. "Everything deals with respect," he told The Observer. "The way I think of it is that you have to punish ... or teach," he corrected himself, "anyone that crosses your borders so that they won't do it again."

                                                                                GORGOROTH's most recent album, "Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam", was released last year via Sweden's Regain Records. The band was previously signed to Nuclear Blast Records, who released the band's last three efforts: "Twilight of the Idols" (2003), "Incipit Satan" (2000) and "Destroyer" (1998).
