The Black BULLETin is a column in which we (mostly W, but sometimes Q…maybe) post shit that we think is awesome in the world of black metal. Deal with it.
Guess what? Gorgoroth are in the news again. Seriously, I saw this on CNN! No, I didn’t. But, I did read a story on the Blabs about the re-recording of Under the Sign of Hell being delayed because Regain Records is broke as fuck. Sucks for Gorgoroth and Regain. Hopefully, the re-recording does get released before too long. Honestly, I’m not sure why Gorgoroth is redoing Under the Sign of Hell and not a Gaahl fronted re-recording instead. I’d love to hear Pest doing Twilight of the Idols. The quote from Gorgy’s site is as follows:
Infernus and Gorgoroth were informed this weekend by Regain Records that because of Regain’s current financial situation, it will once again be necessary for the label to postpone the release of Gorgoroth’s upcoming album “Under the Sign of Hell 2011″, which was scheduled for release on 29. August 2011. The master tapes were handed over to Regain by the band in April this year, and so it is of course very disappointing for the band that the label for the second time is not able to meet the set release date. Therefore, to avoid this happening again, no new release date will be given by the band until Regain can sort out their problems and provide a new date with 100% certainty.
Definitely a bummer, but not the end of the world. Their new album should be out before too long along with a probable lineup change.
