The infamous Gaahl (ex-GORGOROTH, WARDRUNA) is a grim and imposing personification of black metal's iconoclasm. Now he returns with his new band Gaahls WYRD and their massive debut album 'GastiR - Ghosts Invited'. Borne out of a project honoring the legacy of his first band TRELLDOM , Gaahls WYRD continues on the left hand path that has defined his music for 25 years. As "From the Spear", "Ghosts Invited", and the epic "Carving the Voices" illustrate, his ghastly vocals are the cutting edge of a full-strength assault of pure Norwegian black metal. Gaahls WYRD are one of the best new metal bands to arise in the last decade, and 'GastiR - Ghosts Invited' is a towering monument of black metal malevolence and majesty.
