No Respect for Gorgoroth

I can remember a time when I thought Gorgoroth was actually a great band. I still jam a couple of their albums on occasion: "Pentagram" and "Antichrist". Gorgoroth has has been in the spotlight for many years because of their insistent need for attention. They have always been one of those "more black metal than thou" type of bands. Check out their page at Encyclopaedia Metallum to see the ridiculous amounts of people who have contributed to Gorgoroth over the years.

A few reasons why I have no respect for Gorgoroth:
  • The band had a Hollywood style split up with eachother ending with two different bands with the same fucking name. So now we have the Infernus Gorgoroth and the sickened Gaahl Gorgoroth.
  • Ghaal came out of the closet and is seeing a fashion designer. I could care less if he is gay, but damn -Keep It To Your Self! In the world of black metal it is well known that being gay is not the trend. People have been murdered for being gay...total career killer for Gaahl
  • Countless documentaries, stories and articles have been writen about how obscure, strange and abnormal Gorgoroth is. There are many more bands out there that I would rather see documentaries about.
  • King Ov Hell had to officially issue a statement saying that "GORGOROTH Is Not About Gay Liberation" Check out the story from blabbermouth.
  • Gorgoroth recently announced a tour with non other than CRADLE OF FILTH....need I say more here? WTF?
If you have not seen the Gorgoroth documentary, it is at least interesting. Check it out here...
