Gorgoroth one of Norway’s premier black-metal bands has experienced a major split in the ranks that’s messier than a chainsaw massacre. Founding guitarist Infernus who left the trio in ctober announced that he had rights to the name and would continue as Gorgoroth with different bandmates prompting lawyers to swoop in from all sides in a battle to determine who would keep the pernicious moniker. n December 13 the band’s label Regain Records issued a statement announcing that it was siding with Infernus.

“Wolcom!”Diana’s piano always lifts us up. She taught in a Russian music conservatory for 20 years before immigrating here with her parents and husband to spare their son from dangerous service in the Red Army. For her first 10 years in America Diana labored in a nursing home exchanging music students for the lessons of death. “Music is its own country” Diana always says. “It makes you forget all your pain. It does seem to be having that effect on the elders. Some sit up straighter; others lean forward like spindly plants to sunlight.

Not all the pairings involve music that is strictly drum’n'bass: “Aether” for example links trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer with techno tabla player Karsh Kale… onetime Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris) has heavy-metal credentials. Where most drum’n'bass is rhythmically skittering these eight instrumentals are built on slow steady thumping. During such tracks as "Snag" various electronic vibrations ripple from the central beats many of them sharper faster and less predictable than the dominant tones.
