Gorgoroth - Infernus Wins Trademark Case
The ongoing battle Infernus has been pursuing against Gaahl & King Ov Hell regarding trademark rights of the name "Gorgoroth" appear to have come to an end. A message posted on Infernus' myspace website reads as follows:
"Oslo City District Court has today delivered a verdict on the main question in the Gorgoroth trademark case, which took place at the end of January 2009. The court has decided that King ov Hell's trademark registration # 243365 of the band name Gorgoroth is NOT valid and shall therefore be deleted. The court states that King ov Hell and Gaahl excluded themselves from the band Gorgoroth when they tried to fire Infernus in October 2007. The court further states that Infernus cannot be excluded from Gorgoroth, unless he himself decides to quit. Infernus is very pleased, but not surprised, by this verdict. The remaining issues concerning financial matters and such are yet to be decided upon."
The Infernus Gorgoroth line-up is:
Infernus - guitar, bass, drums, vocals
Pest - vocals
Tormentor - guitar
Frank Watkins - bass
Tomas Asklund - drums

In other news: Tr00 kvlt Black Metal bands use MySpace. Yes, that is right, the same network that allows 13 year old girls to giggle about the Jonas Brothers on each others pages and 37 year old male geeks to build an online shrine to Optimums Prime. But we must keep in mind that MySpace is a place for friends; just look at some of Infernus' top 8: Tom, ShyKitten12, Marc, Sven the brutal, and PopTart69420.

This is very pleasing. Infernus is much better at making music.

From now on whenever we link Gorgoroth news, we need to have Ivan somehow set up the page so that the Benny Hill theme song kicks in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuiA2j52rP8

I don't know what to think about this. Last time I saw Gorgoroth was King and Gaahl's and it was a great show. If it stays like this I hope they are gonna start another band...like GArgAroth or GUrgUroth

No one should really be suprised...there was no way in hell (giggle) that infernus could have lost this case.

Maybe the drama will be over now and we will get down to what is important: impalling the Christ through music. Gaal and King ov Hell should just start their own band and make a name for themselves.

Written by Vationleg on 10.03.2009 at 19:30 Yeah, Gorgoroth are soooo underground, and we all just listen to Metallica and Slipknot! I mean, it's not like I can walk over to the CD store in the old person mall near my house and pick up half their albums on any given day.... : . Why have you hidden this band from us for so long, oh mighty one? And what other great unknown bands are you hiding from us? Dimmu Borgir?

There is no "loser" in this case, in the sense that the hype around Gorgoroth A & B is probably as high as it's ever been over the last few years.

Written by Doc G. on 11.03.2009 at 01:51 Seems like I have to check this new bands you are talking about. Are this Gorgototh and Dimmu Borgir from Sweden? I think I've heard something on the net about them... BTW what is this "Metallica" you are talking about?
