Country of origin: Norway Location: Bergen, Vestland Status: Active Formed in: 1992 Genre: Black Metal Lyrical themes: Satanism, Anti-Christianity, Darkness, Death, Nietzschean Philosophy, War Current label: Soulseller Records Years active: 1992-present Taken from the Complete Tolkien Companion by J.E.A. Tyler: "Gorgoroth 'Dreadful Horror' (The Sindarin or Grey-elven tongue) - A word in the Grey-elven tongue, used for two different locations, distinct in time and space.... the second instance is the name of the 'Haunted Plains' of Mordor; the great plateau which occupied the north-western area of that country, a desolate, arid land, pocked with craters and fuming pits and riven with many deep crevasses. In the center of the plain rose the smoldering cone of the volcano Orodruin." The band has never officially published their lyrics, neither through album booklets nor other sources, online or otherwise. Various members of the band were involved in different crimes. Kjettar was convicted of church arson in the early '90s. In 2004, Gaahl went to court on charges of "performing torture lasting for several hours" on a 41-year-old man who claimed to have been assaulted, kidnapped, and beaten by him following a bar brawl; Gaahl stated that he acted in self-defense after the victim "crossed the line" and attacked him. In the aftermath of the highly mediatized case, he was sentenced to four months in jail and had to pay a $30,000 fine to the victim. On January 4th, 2006, Infernus was taken to court on charges of kidnapping, participation in gang rape, and illegal weapon possession. With exception of admitting some minor violations of Norwegian firearm regulations, he has declared himself not guilty. In May 2005, Infernus and a f Gorgoroth是一支很大牌也很著名的元老级的挪威黑金属乐队 Gorgoroth平原是J.R.R.Tolkien小说<>里中土大陆的虚构地名，位于Mordor西北部。 魔戒圣战时期Gorgoroth是Mordor的兵工厂。 由于Gorgoroth平原上布满了火山灰，因此Gorgoroth平原也被称为“魔炎平原”。 Gorgoroth[蝈鸽肉丝]这怪异的读音及其联系上半兽人和魔王Sauron的缘故，在和Satan达成协议的1992那一年里，挪威众多黑金属乐队中最具代表性之一的Gorgoroth乐队在Infernus的带领下从此立地成魔。
