Gaahl said “I was the one who was attacked, but they think I punished him too hard. As I always say, when people cross my line and I let them know where the line is many steps before they cross it, and still they choose to cross it, then I will be the one to decide what their punishment will be”. He also claimed to have given the man the cup “so that he would not make such a mess in my house with all the blood”. In March 2006, Gaahl recorded vocals for Gorgoroth’s next album, Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam. According to band members, he was in prison from April to December 2006.
