Gorgoroth - Gaahl 'Outs' Himself As Homosexual


Kristian 'Gaahl' Espedal, frontman of Norwegian Black Metallers Gorgoroth, has publicly stated his homosexuality, according to Blabbermouth sources.

33 year old Gaahl spoke openly in an interview with Götz Kühnemund of Rock Hard magazine about his sexual orientation, also adding "I feel how I feel and I've never made any secret about it", and "I've never really hidden anything to begin with. It's just that I was never in love before" ... "until last year".

Gaahl also mentions a stable line-up for his version of Gorgoroth, confirming that Frost (Satyricon, 1349) will perform on the next album.

Wasn't he arrested for brutally bashing a homosexual man or was that someone else?


It Was Jon Nödtveidt from Dissection who was convicted of being an accessory to murder, in the killing of the 38-year-old homosexual Algerian Josef Ben Meddour, in 1997. He was released from prison in 2004, and restarted Dissection. He than made the best album ever!! REINKAOS on 2006!

I knew that Gaahl used to have a gay relationship with the guy he founded that fashion place with.

On the homosexuality issue, call me a bugger as much as you like, but I think gay marriage should not be legalized. I don't feel like going into detail, but someone needed to say that.


no marriage should be legalized but that is for another forum

Wow, good for him. That takes a lot of balls for someone who is in any line of entertainment let alone Black Metal.

Hurray, black metal continues its neverending battle against judeo-christian morality by breaking the highest barrier - heterosexuality! It started when Kvarforth kissed Maniac on stage and I hope to see other gaylords of tr00 black metal coming out and make a stand.

Shitty sarcasm aside, I actually find it quite brave from Gaahl to openly state it 'cause after watching some comments for the video where Maniac and Kvarforth kissed, I can imagine loads of angry comments about betraying black metal and shit like that (especially from Estonia where gays are really hated by many metalheads).

There are bound to be more within metal cause between 5 and 10% of the world's population is gay. But like within football it is not a thing one openly admits within the metal world.

I usually think of myself as having a pretty good gaydar, but not once did it occur to me that Gaahl was gay. To be honest, I'm actually surprised to discover that he was gay.

I found this bit of information interesting.. even though i've never been a Gorgoroth fan. thanks for posting, I think it is news worthy just no need for ongoing relationship updates! haha

I see some of the biggest double standards on this page ..
A lot of these bands try and be NSBM, or nazi-esque, ideas which strongly having an anti-homosexual doctrine.
But then wouldn't homosexuality make a 'Satanic' band more 'evil' ?
Some of you say you hate homosexuality, but anti-homosexuality seems mainly a religious ideology?

Hahahahahahaahah the guy turned out to be a queer! wtf I would have NEVER guessed that, I mean the whole thing about death and black metal in my opinion is the sheer aggression and masculinity for a large portion of it anyway. I mean its almost like the music is a lie. omg I'm not sure when I'll stop laughing about this, I'm almost worried.

Really, I was under the impression a "gaydar" was just the ability to sense whether someone was gay or not.

Glam's not so gay anymore is it?! BWHAHAHA!

So what? Halford is gay, Gaahl is gay, Elton John is gay, Freddy Mercury was gay, and the list goes on, so, Is that so relevant for us, it is just to be tolerant, it is not anti-tr00 or anti-kvlt (there you have some stupid and primitive way of thinking), Judas Priest sounds great and Gorgoroth, well I'm not a fan of Gorgoroth haha, and oh man, Mercury had a godly voice, If they are homosexuals I don't care, they can do what they want to do.

Let's remember this is the same man who said that BM was going to change the world and there was a council of black metal bands and that at one of their meetings it was decided which bands would be chosen to change the world with their music. Gorgoroth are boring band with a clown for a frontman.

council of black metal bands... man, how can people still take this guy seriously after that is WAY BEYOND ME..

hahahahhahaahahah LMAO this band is going to change the world!!!
