Taken from The Complete Tolkien Companion by J.E.A. Tyler:
"Gorgoroth 'Dreadful Horror' (The Sindarin or Grey-elven tongue) -
A word in the Grey-elven tongue, used for two different locations,
distinct in time and space.... the second instance is the name of the
'Haunted Plains' of Mordor; the great plateau which occupied the
north-western area of that country, a desolate, arid land, pocked with
craters and fuming pits and riven with many deep crevasses.
In the centre of the plain rose the smouldering cone of the volcano
Orodruin."

Orodruin."
The band has never officially published their lyrics, neither through
album booklets nor other sources, online or otherwise.
Diverse members of the band were involved in different crimes. Kjettar
was convicted of church arson in the early 90's. Gaahl, in 2004 went to
court on charges of "performing torture lasting for several hours" on a
41 year old man after beating him senselessly for hours.
He was sentenced to four months in jail and pay $30,000 to the victim.
On January 4th, 2006, Infernus was taken to court on charges of
kidnapping, participation in gang rape and illegal weapon possession.
With exception of admitting some minor violations of Norwegian firearm
regulations he has declared himself not guilty. In May 2005, Infernus and
a friend were sentenced to three years in prison for rape. Both of them
appealed the verdict.
Infernus won the appeal and was found not guilty in the rape case.
He was however convicted of "gross negligent rape" (i.e. he should
have known that the woman had been raped by his friend before he
himself had sex with the woman - who had at this point surrendered mentally).
During October 2007, Gorgoroth members Gaahl and King ov Hell decided
to kick founding member Infernus out of the band. A legal battle over
the rights of the name and logo between Infernus and Gaahl / King then
ensued. Gaahl and King carried on touring without Infernus for around
18 months after copyrighting the band's name and logo (before 'firing'
him), while Infernus put together a new line-up.
Oslo City District Court delivered a verdict on March 10th 2009 on the
main question in the Gorgoroth trademark case, which took place at the
end of January 2009, deciding that King ov Hell's trademark registration
#243365 of the band name was not valid and shall therefore be deleted.
The court states that King ov Hell and Gaahl excluded themselves from
the band Gorgoroth when they tried to fire Infernus in October 2007.
The court further states that Infernus cannot be excluded from
Gorgoroth, unless he himself decides to quit. The remaining issues
concerning financial matters and such are yet to be decided upon.
While many musicians have come and gone, Infernus has always stayed
in the band, though the last two albums before the split were almost
entirely composed by King. King has said that he "never really left"
Gorgoroth despite his brief official absence between 2006 and 2007,
which according to Infernus happened due to King's "difficulties
combining playing in a clear-cut Satanic metal band as Gorgoroth with
the fact that he is full-time employed as a primary school teacher."
The band participated in the Darkthrone tribute Darkthrone Holy
Darkthrone, released by Moonfog Productions in 1998, covering the
song "Slottet I Det Fjerne". Later, in 2001, Gorgoroth also
participated in the Mayhem tribute Originators Of The Northern
Darkness, released by Avantgarde Music, covering the song
"Life Eternal".
The online broadcast network vbs.tv made a documentary about
Norwegian black metal, but they focused primarily on Gorgoroth and Gaahl.
Frank Watkins began using the stage name "Bøddel" in 2009. Bøddel is
Norwegian for "Executioner," which was the band Obituary's original moniker.
Tormentor and Tomas Asklund do not currently tour with Gorgoroth and
are considered "studio members."
