GAAHL LEAVES GOD SEED (RETIRES FROM MUSIC?)


GOD SEED has sent this update stating GAAHL (vocalist) has left the band and retired from music leaving GOD SEED without a vocalist. (EDITORS NOTE: We all wish GAAHL all the best and happiness in all of his endeavors, black and extreme metal won't be the same without his Satanic Individualism and we DO need more people like him in extreme metal. Hopefully we'll hear more from GAAHL in WADRUNA a folk/ambient project whom are amazing, GAAHL is an interesting guy). FROM BLABBERMOUTH.NET: GOD SEED — the Norwegian band featuring former GORGOROTH members King (bass; real name: Tom Cato Visnes) and Gaahl (vocals; real name: Kristian Espedal) — has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

"It has been rumored that Gaahl and King have disbanded GOD SEED. However, this is not the case. Gaahl has chosen to retire from metal music. It should not be assumed that this decision has anything to do with Gaahl and King's working relationship. Gaahl has made this decision for his own personal artistic reasons."

Commented King in a statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET: "There is no drama and there is no bad blood between us; Gaahl just wants a break from metal. GOD SEED will be frozen and I'm prepared to pick it up again when the time is right. Meanwhile, I will focus on other musical projects."
