History

They first released the Split CD: Erotic Funeral Party I together with Stormfront in 1999. Then in 2000 they released their first full-length: Erotic Funeral, which was recorded in Grieghallen studios during 1999.[2]

Currently Gaahlskagg are working on their second full-length album: Av Norrønt Blod which is to be released in the near future. For this release Hoest (of Taake) will do some guest vocals.

The planned re-release of their debut Erotic Funeral as a set of three 7" LP's (containing the album split into Erotic Funeral party I - III) has been denied by their label. No Colours Records instead re-released the album as 12" LP limited in blue (100 pcs.) and black vinyl.
