Black metal celebrity Gaahl, frontman for Norway's nefarious Gorgoroth, has always been good for a laugh. Stories about him beating a man and drinking his blood from a chalice, and leading his band through shows in which severed animal heads were strewn across the stage and naked people bathed in fake blood were hung from crucifixes were the stuff of maxi-metal mythology. And that was all before the most intimidating living frontman in black metal admitted to the press he was gay.

Since then, outlets that used to be concerned with speed and brutality have been asking questions about fashion lines and being a generational spokesman for the entire gay underground black metal community -- if such a thing actually exists. On December 30, Dutch web site Faceculture posted nine three to five minute interview segments with Gaahl, and as of 7 p.m. today, the most views any of the clips about non-gay issues had received was 60. The one titled [ex-boyfriend] "Dan Deviro's clothing, attraction to men, the media," however, has received over 28,000 sets of eyeballs so far, which is way more revealing than a Jennifer Aniston sex tape.

During the interview snippet, Gaahl reveals that 2008 was the year he kissed a boy and he liked it. "Last year was the first time that someone's insanity grabbed hold of me," he said, then admitted he's not really a touchy, feely kinda guy. "I'm not too much into the physical thing, I've been more into the aesthetics."
