God Seed: Live at Wacken

This is essentially Gorgoroth, or what once was Gorgoroth till the legality of name usage was given to Infernus. The embittered duo- Gaahl & King- went on as God Seed but this didn't last as Gaahl retreated from the metal scene into anonymity. This live package consists of both the CD & DVD presentations of the performance at Wacken. The additional musicians helping this act were:
  • Ice Dale: Guitars
  • Nick Barker: Drums
Now, why does all this look familiar? That's because this setting was virtually a recreation of Black Mass Krakow complete with the stage aesthetics/antics. We can't help but think of the Gorgoroth name while listening to the materials here, there are no original God Seed materials, it's a re-hash of Gorgoroth's more known numbers. But it's good to know that despite the 50% line-up difference, the tenacity of black metal was present & enjoyable.
