Crépuscule des idoles
In 2002, Gaahl received a prison sentence for an assault which took place in 2000, and was ordered to pay the victim 158,000 NOK (about 25,300 US$). Gorgoroth began recording their album "Twilight of the Idols" in May that year. Gaahl's imprisonment meant that he was unable to record his vocals until January 2003. The album was released in July that year.
