It's been a while since I touched the subject black metal. And why not dig deep? This recording is 20 years old. Since then the vocalist has been convicted for torture(!), exhibited his art, acted at a theatre, designed his own clothing line, got famous for saying "Satan" and a host of other things. Among them homosexuality.
I have a mutual friend with Gaahl. Well known for vocal duties in Gorgoroth. I have met him at several occasions and to be honest: he isn't that bad. For the most part sober and sipping coffee is probably not what sensationalists want to hear. But that's how I know him, not as the blood dripping horror story portrayed in the media. That said, he is a unpredictable man full of surprises.
Trelldom was one of the projects he spearheaded before joining Gorgoroth. In my opinion much more original, even catchy sometimes. Typical for the "Bergen vein" of black metal. I don't expect anyone to like it, I just find it amusing to flip through old albums.
