.
(antiMusic) Ignore that story from earlier this week where the whole Gorgoroth name dispute appeared to be settled in the favor of Infernus. That story was based on a statement from Regain Records. However, Norwegian authorities have reportedly come to a different conclusion all together.First off here is part of the statement this label issues earlier this week: Regain "Records recognizes Infernus as the rightful owner of the bands name, logo and trademark, and is prepared to take any legal steps necessary to prevent any 3rd part from exploiting it, artistically and commercially. " However, according to Metal Underground: King Ov Hell (real name: Tom Cato Visnes) and Gaahl (real name: Kristian Eivind Espedal) from the Norwegian black metal band Gorgoroth have issued the following statement: "Norwegian authorities at Patentstyret (Norwegian patent office) have made the verdict on the dispute over the further use of the trademark and logo 'GORGOROTH.' It has been legally determined that King and Gaahl retain the rightful ownership and use of the name and logo, now and in the future. "King and Gaahl will not give a detailed public statement on this verdict however they have both remained confident this result would indeed be the final conclusion. Any third parties who use the name GORGOROTH will from now on be met with legal prosecution. - more on this story
