GOD SEED — the Norwegian band featuring former GORGOROTH members King (bass; real name: Tom Cato Visnes) and Gaahl (vocals; real name: Kristian Espedal) — has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

 

"It has been rumored that Gaahl and King have disbanded GOD SEED. However, this is not the case. Gaahl has chosen to retire from metal music. It should not be assumed that this decision has anything to do with Gaahl and King's working relationship. Gaahl has made this decision for his own personal artistic reasons."

 

Commented King in a statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET: "There is no drama and there is no bad blood between us; Gaahl just wants a break from metal. GOD SEED will be frozen and I'm prepared to pick it up again when the time is right. Meanwhile, I will focus on other musical projects."

 

Gaahl usvojio dete sa onim, garant.

 

 

Ali najbolji deo: GOD SEED will be frozen :)

Dobar :bigblue: A Gaahl se dao u potragu za surogat majkom koja ce mu roditi satanic offspring of frozen sperm ejaculation. Vjerovatno se sada valja sa onim njegovim pederom po krevetu posutom crnim ruzama.

Ja se samo nadam da ce ipak nekako da se nakani da odradi jos one dve Wardruna-e koje su najavljene, posto je samo rekao da hoce da se povuce iz METAL muzike. Mada, Wardruna ce biti fenomenalan projekat i bez njega, tako da...

Louise Brown of U.K.'s Terrorizer magazine conducted an interview earlier this week with former GOD SEED/GORGOROTH frontman Gaahl (real name: Kristian Espedal) about his decision to "retire from metal music." A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

 

Terrorizer: So, we've all heard by now, officially, that you've left GOD SEED, after weeks of rumors, is that the truth?

 

Gaahl: "Yes, I would say that I've basically retired from metal, or at least metal appearances."

 

Terrorizer: But not from music?

 

Gaahl: "Yes, I would exclude TRELLDOM since that I've never considered that metal either, but I guess for people it does fall into the same genre. Of course that's my lifetime project."

 

Terrorizer: What was the impetus behind this decision, the happenings about the GOD SEED/GORGOROTH came that last year must have taken their toll?

 

Gaahl: "Well, it's been something I've worked on for quite a while in a way, already since the firing of Infernus, basically. I did try to make it work but I just decided to obligate it [GOD SEED] I wasn't sure where it was going, but I decided basically to carry on then. I don't think that [the court case over the same for 'GORGOROTH'] has anything to do with that, it's just that, for me, it's not heartfelt anymore, and if it's not heartfelt, you shouldn't do it. I could have done it and achieved something that I myself wouldn't put myself into and that would be wrong. I wouldn't do anything half-hearted."

 

Terrorizer: But will GOD SEED and King Ov Hell carry on regardless, without you?

 

Gaahl: "I don't know what he does [laughs]. I know that they came with a statement but I gave my interview to Rock Hard [German metal magazine] a month back so I don't know if that's been published yet, so I basically don't know, it's not like I check up anything on the Internet or follow the media so..."

 

Terrorizer: Gaahl, the personality, has become a cult of sorts in a way. You've almost become a larger than life character that extends beyond your music. People seem to be more intersted in Gaahl the man, instead of Gaahl the musician? Has this affected your decision?

 

Gaahl: "I've just been myself. But I noticed this when I lived in Spain for two months and got away from every person in the world, apart from Robin, who of course came with me, no phones or no connections to the outside world. It was a feeling that I needed to be away from absolutely everything and I think that made my decision even easier, even though I was supposed to have the last show before I moved there. I was thinking of having the last show in Finland, but there was circumstances and certain things so we didn't manage to pull that show off so we had to do two GOD SEED concerts in the summer time so otherwise this would be old news by now."

Commented King: "All members of GOD SEED have been carefully picked for their musical skills and devoted personalities. We aim to release an album which will sound different than what we have done in the past. The new members have been very important for creating a sound that hopefully will come across as unique and defining the new GOD SEED sound. From this moment, GOD SEED should not be viewed as a duo anymore, but as a band with six members."
