Some really great metal news came out today. First of all, Infernus of Gorgoroth won his lawsuit against former bandmates Gaahl and King of Hell over the ownership of the band name. Back in October of 2007, Gaahl and King went behind Infernus' back (the only original member of the band, mind you) and got a trademark on the name then kicked Infernus out. Thankfully the Norwegian courts saw the total bullshit in this and said that Gaahl and King's trademark was invalid and that the name belongs to Infernus. So Gorgoroth shall remain the true fucking Gorgoroth! Fuck yeah!!!

In other news, Varg Vikernes, the musician responsible for Burzum, several church burnings and the murder of Mayhem's Euronymous, will finally be released from prison after 16 years. This comes after several delays and at least one escape attempt.

Once out, Varg intends to move to a farm, spend time with his family, write some books, and make some fucking music! Luckily, since he wasn't allowed to have instruments in prison (aside from a keyboard) his musicianship probably hasn't changed much since the early 90's and anything he releases now should likely be pretty similar to his old work. Sweet!
