GORGOROTH Guitarist INFERNUS: 'My Intention Is To Continue For Another 15 Years!'

October 24, 2007

GORGOROTH guitarist Infernus — who is involved in a legal dispute with his estranged bandmates over the rights to the group's name (Story#1, Story#2, Story#3, Story#4) — has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

"Today I have been denied access to the official MySpace profile of GORGOROTH. I am working on it as we speak, but I do not know how long it takes for the MySpace customer support team to deal with this.

"I have registrated a new statement from one or two of my former co-workers, and I will soon come with some more info on how I regard the situation and how it has developed, where I — without intending becoming too personal — will briefly present my plan for the continuation of GORGOROTH, possibly also with reference to some legal papers translated into English and with a photocopy of a document proving King's [bass] attempt to registrate the GORGOROTH name as his personal belonging behind my back in the beginning of last month. I will also elaborate upon the form in which the break-up happened, and show it was also my will to continue doing the upcoming tour first, then deal with the legal issues and the break-up later on, in an more appropriate way.

"For the more slowminded: Both parts want to continue under the name GORGOROTH. As the founder and only original member of the band, I claim the legal rights to the name. I am fully aware of that I can be a difficult person to work with, but it is my sincere opinion that to the degree this was a problem for the other two guys they should have withdrawn from the band and started something new, on their own. My intention is to continue for another 15 years!

"Again, I feel sorry for the friends, co-workers and fans all over the world that now have to withness such a happening taking place."

GORGOROTH recently entered Grieghallen Studios in Norway with producer Pytten (ENSLAVED, TRELLDOM) to begin work on a new live album, "Live in Grieghallen 2007".

GORGOROTH's video for the song "Carving a Giant" has been posted online at this location. The track comes off GORGOROTH's latest CD, "Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam", which was released last year via Sweden's Regain Records.
