Gorgoroth - Quantos Possunt Ad Satanitatem Trahunt (2009)




Artist: Gorgoroth
Album: Quantos Possunt Ad Satanitatem Trahunt
Year: 2009
Genre: Black Metal
Country: Norway

Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt (a Latin sentence meaning "They draw as many as they can toward Satanism") is the eighth studio album by Norwegian black metal band Gorgoroth. It was released in October 2009 through Regain Records. Infernus cited the ecclesiastical writer Adam of Bremen as the inspiration of the album's title, parodying his maxim Quantos Possunt ad Christianitatem Trahunt.

Infernus – founding member and guitarist of Gorgoroth – began work on this album in October 2006, as he was about to serve a prison sentence for "gross negligent rape". He continued writing songs while he served his sentence, citing the "lack of outside distractions" as a factor. An announcement which reported the work on new material for an upcoming album was made on the band's official site shortly after Infernus was granted parole in March 2007. 

This album marks the return of Pest on vocals, as well as the debut of Tomas Asklund (ex-Infernal, ex-Dissection, ex-Dark Funeral) on drums and Bøddel (the pseudonym of Frank Watkins, Obituary) on bass.
