Gaahl - Me no play metal no more!

Gaahl speaks about why he is giving up metal:
He did an interview with Terrorizer magazine, he shoulda done it with me.  Fool.
-So, we've all heard by now, officially, that you've left God Seed, after weeks of rumours, is that the truth?
“Yes, I would say that I've basically retired from metal, or at least metal appearances.”

-But not from music?
“Yes, I would exclude Trelldom since that I've never considered that metal either, but I guess for people it does fall into the same genre. Of course that's my lifetime project.”

-What was the impetus behind this decision, the happenings about the God Seed/Gorgoroth came that last year must have taken their toll?
“Well, it's been something I've worked on for quite a while in a way, already since the firing of Infernus basically. I did try to make it work but I just decided to obligate it [God Seed] I wasn't sure where it was going, but I decided basically to carry on then. I don't think that [the court case over the same for 'Gorgoroth'] has anything to do with that, it's just that for me it's not heartfelt any more and if it's not heartfelt you shouldn't do it. I could have done it and and achieved something that I myself wouldn't put myself into and that would be wrong. I wouldn't do anything half-hearted.”

-But will God Seed and King Ov Hell carry on regardless, without you?
“I don't know what he does [laughs]. I know that they came with a statement but I gave my interview to Rock Hard [French metal magazine] a month back so I don't know if that's been published yet, so I basically don't know, it's not like I check up anything on the internet or follow the media so...”
And here is a pretty good interview about Gaahl discussing his clothing line (it's not really his), and being gay and fabulous.
