Oslo City District Court has today delivered a verdict on the main question in the GORGOROTH trademark case, which took place at the end of January 2009. The court has decided that King ov Hell’s trademark registration # 243365 of the band name GORGOROTH is not valid and shall therefore be deleted. The court states that King ov Hell and Gaahl excluded themselves from the band GORGOROTH when they tried to fire Infernus in October 2007. The court further states that Infernus cannot be excluded from GORGOROTH, unless he himself decides to quit. Infernus is very pleased, but not surprised, by this verdict. The remaining issues concerning financial matters and such are yet to be decided upon. www.gorgoroth.info

On Friday the 13th 12:00 Central European Time, Swedish CRYPT OF KERBEROS will unleash brand new material upon the world. One of the tracks for their upcoming 7" EP will premiere on their My Space page. Two new songs have been written by guitarist Peter Bjärgö with lyrics by Bjärgö and drummer Mattias Borgh. The new material which was recorded and produced at Bjärgö’s Erebus Odora Studio, can be described as a return to the groups early sound. "Think of it as a continuation of the 1992 EP. These two new tracks really reek of down tuned guitars and slow crushing riffs combined with lyrics that deal with the world coming undone. The focus has been on dirty old style Death Metal more than on flashy technique" says Bjärgö. The current line-up consists of: Christian Eriksson (vocals), Peter Bjärgö (guitar), Jonas Strandell (guitar), Stefan Källarsson (bass) and Mattias Borgh (drums). www.cryptofkerberos.com
