Gorgoroth

Um, but there was a bunch of anime stuff there too.

I take pictures of it, but it's, it was all just titties and fucking, it's like, it's like, you know, Gorgoroth shirts with a big titty naked anime girl on them.

[laughs] It's good stuff.

Did you-- Man, you should have gotten me a shirt.

As I was just saying, in the Nordic countries, Children of Bodom are about as edgy as Britney Spears, which speaks volumes about the type of music that the fringes of society actually listen to over there.

Now, if you want some really weird and brutal stories, look up pretty much anything about the birth of Norwegian black metal scene or the escapades of former lead singer of Gorgoroth, whose name is Gaahl.

Ugh.

But I digress.

Maybe some 1349, you know, like probably Liberation maybe.

I'll tell you what black metal song gets me pumped up, Destroyer by Gorgoroth.

Yeah, that's a good

one.

Dude,

Gorgoroth?

Yeah.

You ever heard of Gorgoroth?

Gwar would have loved

that shit.

Have you

ever heard of Gorgoroth?

He performed under the name Grimm.

He was a Norwegian black metal drummer who was part of groups like Immortal and Gorgoroth.

Paul Revere passed away in 2014 at the age of 76 from cancer.

Of course, not the American Revolutionary dude who did the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.

Yeah, you are correct.

[dinging] GORGOROTH.

GORGOROTH.

If that's not a band, I don't know what my b- that's a band.

Okay, it is a band.

So at the time when Terrestrial Hospice was born, which was actually the most maybe anti-black metal environment, you can say, because I was still playing live guitar in Gorgor, when I played, I think we played Hellfest, this big festival in France.

with Gorgoroth and Behemoth was playing the day after or whatever.

I came to this fucking lobby or whatever it was, this hotel or maybe it was like a restaurant for breakfast.

And suddenly I see, like, what the fuck, Inferno is here, you know, and because we knew each other for years, because, you know, both are from the Polish scene, Polish scene wasn't that big and all that, yeah.

yeah

so so how did it start like what what made you decide that you know you wanted to go off do something by yourself and and create this project

no it was totally the opposite you can say because at the time when uh when uh terrestrial hospice was born which was actually the most maybe anti black metal environment you can say because uh I was still playing live guitar in Gorgoroth when I played.

I think we played Hellfest, this big festival in France with Gorgoroth and Behemoth was playing the day after or whatever.

And, kind of form an opinion based on that rather than stay in my parents' basement with the lights off and just in the darkness.

Well, speaking of that, let's talk about a man who probably did that better than most, and that is a man by the name of Gaul, who was once from the band Gorgoroth.

I encountered Gaul for the first time, I think, as many people did, from the Metal A Headbanger's Journey documentary, where Sam Dunn asked him a simple question, like, where do you get your inspiration from? And there was a long pause as Gaul sat in the dark corner of the room with a glass of wine, Took a sip, then there was another long pause, and he said very ominously, Satan.

And that was my introduction to Gaul.

I mean, there's...

I mean, well, that's a death metal band, but whatever.

Gorgoroth.

Yeah, Gorgoroth.

It's just, like, what you do when you do that kind of music, and it's undermined...

It undermined what Gorgoroth worked so hard to do.

So, like, if you have a satanic pride flag like you do, and someone doesn't like it, you have the quaint response of it meaning something.

Like, you get to still have a certain reaction-forming meaning, whereas most of the country...
