What is perhaps my all-time favorite Black Metal band, Gorgoroth, has finally made their first music video. The song is “Carving A Giant”, off the album they released last year. A bit late, but nearly all of them were in prison at the time so it had to wait, I guess. The video’s an attempt at recreating their infamous 2004 concert in Poland that resulted in blasphemy charges and the police seizing all video of the event, which was being filmed for a DVD (three years later, the band has still not received the footage from the police).

Awesome. Gorgoroth are hardcore, motherfuckers. Gaahl rules. Here’s a link in case the above embedded video isn’t coming through for you.

Here’s links to (what I consider) an overall awesome, (yet at times questionable, but definitely more than partially real and totally fucked) 5-part documentary about one of my all-time favorite Norwegian Black Metal bands, Gorgoroth and it’s oft-incarcerated singer, Gaahl. If cheesy at first, the last two episodes are the serious shit. Gorgoroth is a major bad-ass band. They have an excellent presence, philosophy, atmosphere, sound and image. I have all their albums—you should too.
