After the band name debacle,
Gorgoroth is currently under the helm of guitarist,
Infernus. The effective band line-up is as follows (as recruited by Infernus):
- Vocals: Pest
- Guitars: Infernus
- Guitars: Tormentor
- Boddel: Bass
- Drums: Tomas Asklund
I have Gorgoroth's latest release,
Quantos Possunt Ad Satanitatem Trahunt in my possession & must say the songs are well pieced together. There are however no excessively fast, pre-Twilight of the Idols numbers, in fact, there are several tunes triggering the memory of the Reinchaos-era Dissection; very heavy with the essence of black metal still in tact. I always look forward to Infernus' guitar playing as he possesses this catchy, gallop riffs which are his trademark peddling.
The overall album production is impressive. If you think black metal dweebs are 100% lo-fi devotees who placed their recording equipment in a tree trunk & proceed to capture raw, evil, music in its ultra fundamental embodiment, then you are sick. As evident above, drummer Tomas Asklund is the very capable hand behind this successful recording in terms of technicalities.
As you have read recently in these pages, Infernus has an official endorsement deal with Jackson guitars but this didn't stop him from using the preferred recording guitar, in this case, a
Fender Strat as seen in the pic above.
Hey, dad! You know, if you stack up all your guitar hard cases, it would help me touch the ceiling... he, he...
One of the set backs of coated strings is that it flakes off readily at the picking area as depicted above (Guitar: my Ibanez RGR08). Some of us think this is 'bad' but it's expected isn't it? You aren't actually fingering your strings at that area, the pick proves to be a hard material which comes into contact with the coated material & naturally, flaking off occurs. However, we must be objective & remember the role of this coating; to preserve string life more so at the fretted area rather than the picking vicinity.

Was there anything wrong with the PRS Santana SE? Guitar-wise, there's absolutely nothing wrong- it's a great instrument to own in terms of feel & tone. It's just that it doesn't look like the Santana model...
There's currently a subsequent Santana model but it doesn't do any better in terms of its representation of the original Santana model outline; this one is in fact the SE One model with a relevantly themed graphic...
You know the man, you know his legendary guitar... now you can get to know more about him at our very own National Library (Esplanade).
