Vocalist

The Resume

    (August 7, 1975- )
    Born in Espedal, Norway
    Birth name is Kristian Eivind Espedal
    Vocalist for the black metal band Gorgoroth
    Member of the bands Gaahlskagg, Trelldom and Sigfader

Why he might be annoying:

    He has twice been convicted of assault. In 2006, he was fined over $30,000 and spent nine months in prison for torturing a man in 2002.
    He has prominently high cheek bones.
    When asked what the ideology behind his music was, he paused for a moment then simply replied 'Satan.'
    He is a wine drinker, and keeps an extensive collection stacked in a corner of his house.
    He is a vegetarian.
    He is very secretive, and takes himself too seriously.
    He supported the acts of arson committed by Burzum member Varg Vikernes, saying 'these are things that I support, and there will be more church burnings in the future.'
    In 2007, he kicked Gorgoroth founder and guitarist Infernus out of the band through a text message.
    After firing Infernus, Gaahl entered a lengthy legal battle and personal conflict with him over ownership of the 'Gorgoroth' name. Because of this, Gaahl posted an insulting blog on his myspace about Infernus.
    He wears jewelry and makeup, even while not performing.
    In 2008 he revealed himself to be gay and in a relationship with a fashion designer. The two are currently designing a series of womens dresses.
    His home has no plumbing.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Although a drinker, he is an expert on the wine making industry.
    Due to the remoteness of his birthplace, he attended a school in a class that included him and one other student.
    His family owns the village that he grew up and currently lives in.
    He is a painter.
    While being interviewed at his home, he took the interviewers up into the mountains to show them the home of his grandparents. After reaching the site, the interviewers whined and complained in front of Gaahl about how it was an unnecessary and pointless trip.
    Despite being in a band known for a satanic message, he himself is not a satanist.
    He revealed his sexuality to the world himself, instead of trying to hide it.
