Gorgoroth complete recording new studio effort, Pest records over Gaahl's vocals for live album

Norwegian black metallers Gorgoroth have announced they’ve recently completed work on their ninth studio effort, titled Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt, due out October 21st in Europe and November 11th in the US via Regain Records.

The CD was recorded at Tomas Asklund’s Monolith Studio and features Infernus on guitar, Frank Watkins (Obituary) on bass, Pest on vocals and Tomas Asklund on drums.

Since Infernus wrote all the music for the album and extensive rehearsals and a pre-production recording had also been completed before second guitarist Tormentor rejoined the band last year, it was decided that it would be more convenient for Infernus to record all the guitars on the LP.

Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt was produced by Infernus and co-produced/engineered by Tomas Asklund. It will be mastered at the Cutting Room in Stockholm later this month.

Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt tentative track listing:

01. Introibo ad Alatare Satanas
02. Aneuthanasia
03. Building a Man
04. Prayer
05. Rebirth
06. Cleansing Fire
07. New Breed
08. Human Sacrifice
09. Satan-Prometheus

In addition to completing the new full length effort, Gorgoroth have also revealed that vocalist Pest has re-recorded the vocals for True Norwegian Black Metal – Live in Grieghallen, released last year on Regain Records.

Gorgoroth has recently spent time at Threeman Recordings in Stockholm with Nico Elgstrand (Entombed), where, among other things, Pest has successfully replaced the vocals for the True Norwegian Black Metal – Live in Grieghallen album. Infernus has already consulted legal representatives regarding this album, and is prepared to support Regain Records in the label’s ongoing legal conflict with two of the band’s ex-members, if any such support is needed.

The “live” album is actually a studio effort that was recorded with the “old” Gorgoroth line-up which consisted of Infernus, King ov Hell, Gaahl, session guitarist Teloch and session drummer Garghuf.  Infernus already re-recorded King ov Hell’s bass lines and now with Pest replacing Gaahl’s vocalst it looks like the album may finally be properly released without the legal cat fighting started by Gaahl and King ov Hell.

Sound stupid?  Yeah… it is… it’s Norwegian black metal, what do you expect?
