Gorgoroth - Guitarist Released From Jail
Norwegian black metal band, Gorgoroth, posted the following message on their website:
"Infernus has been released on parole and is now working on new material, both music and lyrics for an upcoming album, title yet undecided. He is also, as we speak, having meetings with King and Gaahl for possible future touring etc. More info coming up soon."
In February 2005, Infernus was accused and convicted of raping a young woman at an after-party. She claimed she was kept hostage and abused for more than an hour before she managed to flee in just a towel. Infernus was found not guilty of the actual rape, but was still charged with his indifferent attitude as the rape was committed by a friend of his and he did nothing to stop it. According to Wikipedia, he was released on parole from prison March 6th, 2007.
In December 2006, also frontman Gaahl was released from prison. More about Gaahl's release here.

In a recent interview with Mark Carras of RockMyMonkey.com, Six Feet Under bassist Terry Butler stated about the upcoming CD, "I would say, if I had to describe the new style, it would be 'Maximum Violence' meets 'Haunted'. . . I'm really psyched about it. I really liked it. We had a good writing experience. We wrote all the music in the studio and it just flowed through. It's pretty upbeat the whole time, but there's some really catchy, groovy riffs. I think SFU fans are going to like it a lot, especially some of the older, the people who've been around for a long time listening to us, it will satisfy them. The last couple records we've kind of, I don't want to say gotten off our style, but we've always tried to be a little bit different. We didn't want to always just put ten records that sounded like 'Haunted'. So we just kind of, I don't want to say experimented, but we just kind of messed around a little bit, certain styles, but I think this is kind of back to what our fans would expect."

Congratulations Simon, and welcome to the family!"
