Seems like NUCLEAR BLAST’S own Gorgoroth is the most 'SPOKEN' band in Poland this week!

They made it BIG!

One gig was played in Warsaw (1.31.04) and one in Krakow (2.01.04). For the Krakow gig the band had planned and realized recordings for a DVD and promised an exciting and outstanding show!

What can I say...the fans got value for money!

Before the show started the stage was covered. After the curtain came down the following could be seen:

Four crucified and naked models (two women + two men), spilled with sheep blood, were built up on the stage. The musicians did their show in front of that setting and to complete the spectacle the band was surrounded by more than 100 sheep heads and a lot of sheep blood on stage!

A few minutes after the musical inferno started one of the female models fainted and had to be taken down from the cross. Apart from that the show passed as planned.

But as soon as the gig was over, the police appeared and confiscated all the recordings from Krzemionki TV. That’s what one of the chairman of the TV station said regarding the show:

"After analysing the material realized for an external producer we decided to report to the Police that there is a possibility that peoples' religious feelings could have been offended" said managing director of Kraków's TV station, Andrzej Jeziorek.

Tomasz Dziubiñski from Metal Mind Production (the DVD should have been released through MMP) express:

"Artists use different means of expression – an the

organizer usually has got nothing to do with it. This kind of concerts have got the concrete audience – not accidental viewers. If someone felt offended we will apologize to him. We did not mean to offend anyone"! Tomasz Dziubiñski

During the last days the band was mentioned in Gazeta, one of the biggest Polish newspapers, and a lot of other magazines, webzines etc. And of course it’s safe to say that they have to expect inquisitions regarding this controversial gig in the pope’s country!

Now no one can tell for sure, if this DVD will ever be released...

A prosecutor in Poland has launched an investigation into whether a concert by the black metal band GORGOROTH has breached the country's law protecting religion. The Norwegian band are suspected of having sent a hateful and offensive message with their performance Sunday (Feb. 1) at the Krakow studios of Polish Television.

The show, which was to be filmed for an upcoming DVD, featured two naked women (with hoods over their heads) and one naked man, all of them "crucified" and covered in sheep blood, a number of sheep heads on spikes and sheep entrails thrown all over the stage, as well as approximately 80 liters of fresh sheep blood. During the performance, which was attended by an audience of 300, one of the models reportedly fainted from the lack of oxygen. The TV show's producers, who were not briefed in advance about the nature of the concert, were said to "shocked" by the activities on stage. The manager of the studio, Andrzej Jeziorek, notified the police and the recorded footage was confiscated by the authorities as evidence of a possible crime.

The TV crew, who had filmed various metal performances before (including those by CANNIBAL CORPSE, CHILDREN OF BODOM and ANATHEMA, among others), claimed in the Polish media that they had never seen anything quite as "horrific" as GORGOROTH's live show. "We were not repulsed, we were terrified!" the camera operators were quoted as saying by the Polish newspapers.

The concert promoters reportedly defended themselves by saying that all the people who came to watch the show were satisfied and none of them complained about having had their religious beliefs offended in any way.
