It was then Gaahl had joined the band and made his debut on only one track off ''Destroyer.'' He would proceed to do almost all of the vocals on ''Incipit Satan''. In 2002, Gaahl was arrested for his infamous beating. The controversy did not end there for the band, as in 2004, a shooting of a concert taking place in Poland was not viewed well from the Polish due to the Satanic nature and animal cruelty of animals, as the stage had various Satanic symbols and decapitated sheep on steaks. This event alone had Gorgoroth dropped from the Nuclear Blast Roster and were forced to sign up with Regain Records for ''Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam''.
