King v Hell Discusses New Band God Seed
Metal Underground
xFiruath: How would you compare the new God Seed album to the previous works of Gorgoroth? What are the major differences and similarities? King: The fact that Ice Dale and Teloch are playing guitars on the upcoming album is the most noticeable change on the new record. They are both amazing guitarists who make the new record sound way more tight and “big” than what we have done in the past. I never made music to fit the name of a banner. I’ve developed my own style of writing metal music whether it`s called Gorgoroth or God Seed. I’m not to judge if I’m successful at it or not. I write what comes naturally for me. I will of course constantly change and I predict that the next God Seed album will sound differently than the one we put out now.

They don’t look into the details” he said. But added Farhan he’d like to help bring the “voices of the youth to the government” through his music. Like Breeze of the Dying Eddin’s band has also had difficulties with listeners that are unacquainted with metal. “Music is an art. Don’t get narrow-minded. Accept the growling” he told MENASSAT.

Rocking the system

“If they’re able to take the stage down there [Dubai] and express themselves in a free way then I think that calls for some kind of reassessment on the part of the West in terms of just how progressively people are thinking down there. Despite all of the obstacles and struggles with authorities in the Middle East metal bands are connecting with fans and each other in the region and forging communities. For now heavy metal music and Islam remain uneasy companions brought together in a region where religion can be the rule and the music can offer a release.

The Evasive Evil Empire
New York Press
There are even fewer boundaries in content. The famed Norwegian black metal scene in the early 1990s was mainly anti-Christian but today’s bands have lyrics ranging from astronomy musings to confessions of self-hatred. So what’s the problem? The most blatant reason is because black metal is fundamentally anti-social. Not every style of music is looking for unity. They know the downside. Scenes breed conformity. Recently we saw the release of Immortal Life by Liturgy the self-titled debut from Krallice Time Insults the Mind by Black Anvil and Ash Pool’s Saturn’s Slave 7-inch.
Mastodon Crack the Skye – Music Review

Each track twists and turns with astral guitar riffs and creepy atmospherics and the amorphous songs transition seamlessly from bone-crushing metal to spaced-out soundscapes. The lyrical content involves?from what I can tell?Tsarist Russia space travel spirits and wormholes (see the album cover?s ridiculous stoner art for a better idea). Like the previous three Mastadon albums there?s definitely a narrative here but it doesn?t seem quite as linear as that on the Moby Dick-inspired Leviathan. In fact the whole album requires repeated listens to fully grasp both lyrical and musical flow which means that this is either a triumph of artistic metal or a meandering waste of time. After a few listens I?d say it?s a little of both and that wasting your Friday afternoon (when you should be at work) listening to 10 minute songs about Russian mystics has its merits.
