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.

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 😅

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 😄

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
