Out of Norway's biggest and darkest metal bands rises Ov HELL. This group of Satan's all-stars has been sharpening their teeth in some of black metal's most influential bands for many years. Known as key figures in bands such as Dimmu Borgir and Gorgoroth, Shagrath and King have come together to bring forward a new chapter in Norwegian black metal history. Ov HELL will carry on in the same tradition for which King and Shagrath are known, but the collaboration between the two will mark a new era for them both.
Frost, Ice Dale and Teloch have been recruited for the first full-length release. The album will contain all of the power and blast beats worthy of their evil pedigrees. Expect an assault on all false gods and hypocrisy that is of this world today.....
"The first Ov HELL release will contain music I've worked on in my Gorgoroth and God Seed years. It's been a little hell to actually see this music form into a band, so the name of the band is quite suitable. Through the first song I got from Shagrath I knew that he would be the perfect man to join forces with. He has strong individual qualities and a strong will to power. I am very positive that when we finish up this album it will be an album that won't sound like anything we have done before, and with a quality that won't stand back from anything presented in black metal earlier!" - King
"With both of our demanding music careers and other projects, timing was not on our side. After last years inferno festival, King and I yet again joined forces to brainstorm our need to collaborate our passion for dark art. Over the course of the past year, King sent me demo ideas that were so inspiring it made me put my skeptic feelings aside. I wasn't sure if I wanted to have another Black Metal project but my unquenchable thirst to explore my darkest beast, launched the birth Ov HELL. The majestic Ov HELL has become a band that reflects our roots, raw, ugly, arrogantly blasphemous with uncompromising truth from two influential Norwegian musicians needing to express our primitive side, straight out Ov HELL." - Shagrath
Two new tracks, "Devil's Harlot" and "Ghosting" from the yet untitled upcoming album, has been uploaded to the band's MySpace.
Studio Line-up:
Shagrath (Dimmu Borgir, Chrome Division) - vocals
King (God Seed, Gorgoroth, Jotunspor, I, Sahg, Audrey Horne) - bass
Ice Dale (Enslaved, I, Audrey Horne, Trinacria, Demonaz) - guitar
Frost (Satyricon, 1349) - drums
Teloch (Nidingr, God Seed, 1349, Umoral) - guitar

No! Not Shagrath on vocals! Fuck! Why is Frost wasting his time these days? Satyricon sucks, 1349 sucks now and now a band with Shagrath on vocals? Screw that!

I think we can call God Seed dead now then. Basically the same line-up, this band is getting his ideas that were for the God Seed album, God Seed is probably no more.

If and when Gaahl changes his mind, I can see Shagrath will have got bored with this little pocket money-maker and leave the space open for Gaahl to come back. Just a prediction, hahaha.

Is it just me, or is the writing in this post cheesier than an Alestorm update?

I find it funny that 'god seed' is listed in the CV/pedigree for two of the musicians... did they ever record or play live?

Posts: 15360 Written by Baz Anderson on 22.10.2009 at 20:28 read your and Bas' thoughts - i guess that qualifies as a gig, even if it was just basically a gorgoroth gig under another name with a new guitarist.

So after listening to the tracks and looking at the lineup I conclude this is what God Seed was supposed to be just with Shag on vocals. That being said...it sounds very good. Must better then the new Dimmu, it sounds like the last few Gorgoroth offerings to be honest. I'm looking forward to this.

Yeah, would have liked to see this with an unknown vocalist or someone who wasn't already involved in a lot of projects or well known bands. Bring a new voice to black metal.

I bet whatever you want that only shit will come out of this. Shagrath on vocals? He's one of the most boring harsh vocalist you can hear. By the way, Dimmu Borgir is not even Black Metal nowadays but a lame mainstream band who try to look evil only to appeal to all the kids who wear their shirts when they roam the streets or linger at the commercial mall. As mainstream and commercial as pseudo Black Metal can be. Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth are a total disgrace for BM. As for King ov Hell, Gorgoroth turned to shit as soon as he began to write the music. I won't even bother to check the album when it comes out.

If you love commercial shit so much, then do not post here, asshole. I am not defending Shagrath and his commercial dung, but you insulted all of black metal for no reason. No one wants to hear it! Idiot!

Posts: 1469 Written by Jiri on 23.10.2009 at 00:57 If you check his favorite bands list, apart from a few names, it's indeed all pussy bands like Nightwish. Commercial stuff that doesn't deserve to be called metal. You know, I really start to wonder if we should ban Powermetal from forums devoted to metal music. Taking into account that lots of stuff is not even metal today but mainstream and commercial garbage, it doesn't have its place on metal boards anymore. Also, we could avoid lots of conflicts by creating boards for real metal music and boards for commercial stuff (hard rock, Powermetal and the likes).

Posts: 13290 Written by Lord_Regnier on 23.10.2009 at 00:47 Cradle Of Filth do not claim to be a black metal band and never have, so you can leave your spiteful comments about them out of this. Written by Lord_Regnier on 23.10.2009 at 01:09 And are you that ignorant to make such stupid comments about power metal? Iron Maiden are one of the most commercial bands out there, shall we ban them too? There's no big deal in a band aiming at a commercial audience.

Well, I think in the end it will be an average, album, nothing groundbreaking or new for sure. I would prefer to know more about Dimmu's situation.
