Gaahl doufá, že prozrazení jeho sexuální orientace nikterak neovlivní fungování kapely:

"It doesn't feel to me as if I've outed myself because up until now the whole thing was a non-issue for me. All this evolved very naturally. I feel how I feel and I've never made any secret about it. I know that people have been looking into my background. People have seen me at festivals with men and there are many others who have known about this, but who have not seen at it as any issue. But Rock Hard was the first [magazine] to dare to ask me about it. I am not worried about any potential loss of income. Some may have a difficult time swallowing it, but it can also attract other people. All in all, I do not think this will make a huge difference."
