No unfortunately, it's solely an homage to gonzo journalist Hunter S Thompson - Dr Gonzo is the alter ego of his sidekick/attorney Oscar Zeta Acosta in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.

I will say, if anyone knows the meaning of my user name and where the band got the word from (without googling!) I’d be very very impressed.

Norwegian black metal. Gaahl was a weird unit

I didn’t Google but I’m with a fairly nerdy friend rn and he says it’s from Lord of the Rings (?) 

Boom! But what is it from Lord of the rings for 10 points!

I assumed it was a biblical place or mythological name, like Golgotha

Nope as WCW said it’s a LoTR reference

I meant where the band got the name. And Gaahl is still a weird unit, saw him a few months ago, but the band had the name well before Gaahl joined.

I thought it was a type of Clown myself!!

The story behind the avatar is that it was meant to be a send up of Clayton Oliver. I had Photoshopped an avatar of Darcy Parish as an oompah loompa (as he used to have the Oompa loompa hairstyle) in anticipation of us drafting him way back when, but had to come up with an alternative when we picked Clarry.

My nerdy friend has gone and hasn’t answered my text. So ima guess that it’s a weird-a** creature  just like every character in LoTR. (???) 

Edit: I know it now. It’s a part of Kardinia Park aka Mordor.

Had a 17yo friend of my son’s over last night and she’s obsessed with Slipknot, roping me into watching clips of them. Gorgoroth make them look like The Wiggles.

Oh yeah Slipknot is the kiddy pool.

Rather than throw a dart I put some thought into the selection. I chose the song with the closest to pleasant title (or the least disturbing)… “Prosperity and Beauty.” But there was nothing either prosperous or beautiful about it. 😳

And now I think everyone should watch it coz why should I be alone in not sleeping a wink tonight?!

Ahhhh, Gaahl was the singer for that, he is my least fav singer, needed to listen to something from

Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt

That’s my fav album, try Prayer or Rebirth 😃

 

And big props for listening to them.

What I normally say to people when first hearing extreme metal and especially some facets of it like Gorgoroth is try and hear the vocals as an instrument more than vocals. But then I’d usually use different black metal bands than Gorgoroth to ween people on it, like something from Atmospheric Black Metal sun genre… 😄

I listened to both of those tracks. Gotta say I didn’t totally hate them. They’re quite the lyricists, huh. Not that I could understand a single syllable of what he’s singing but I had the lyrics up on Spotty.

Put it this way, I’d sooner listen to this band than Ed Sheeran or Bruno Mars etc.

Ha ha that should be sub-genre.

And only entry level to those who listen to some metal or punk and looking for something more… next level 😅

Oh so the only positive word (sun) isn’t even there??? Cool. 😑

Tbh their prob is as there are so many. 
I mean Uada worship the old moon gods/cycles, lots of pagan bands etc

suldusk from melb are a fav, she sings 95% clean vocals,

Drudkh are a Ukrainian band that put music to old Ukrainian poems and folksongs 

There is a sub genre DBM or DSBM - Depressive (suicidal) black metal which is slow and heavy but eerily beautiful.

None is one of the best bands in that genre. 
 

Hope I’ve opened your eyes to a different world and I’m stoked to hear you didn’t hate it 😄

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
