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.

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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    There has been multiple singers, hope you chose one of the better songs/singer 😬

    And there is better (worse?) ha ha

    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 😅

    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 😄

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
