So, does this lil guy factor into your username?

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 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.

    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 😄

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
