 Gorgoroth
Gorgoroth are a much overlooked band when compared with the likes of Immortal, Darkthrone and Mayhem, yet when all is compared Gorgoroth have as much to offer the Black Metal listener as any of those more celebrated bands in the shape of their early masterworks "Pentagram" and "Antichrist".
This is one of the THE albums for bands that take no compromises in their music.
Destroyer was the beginning of a new style for the band and Twilight Of The Idols is within the parameters set down on that album, but all of their releases maintain the Gorgoroth sound.

 Gorgoroth CD Reviews
Upon looking at the band's photo and some of the more evil-than-thou song titles I became a little skeptic to what Gorgoroth might be able to offer.
Gorgoroth is: Gaahl, vocals; Sgt. Erichsen, drums; King of Hell, bass; Infernus, guitar; Tormentor, guitar.
The title song and first track did little to change my first impression of the band.

They were a band who used classical elements like no other, way beyond your typical keyboard-driven black metal band, but their use of keyboards presented mesmerizing wonders atop their black metal malevolence.
I was very skeptical because most of the metal bands that have been there before us were goth bands, so I was very skeptical because our music differs a lot from these bands, and even Malignant Eternal have a more industrial sound than we do, and I didn't want an industrial sound.
Judging by the sound of the heavy riffs, it seems that the band have taken a back-to-basics approach, kind of putting aside the trademark of the band.

 Gorgoroth - Demonic Black Metal
The ideas as expressed in these riffs are not dissimilar to the first two Gorgoroth albums and are located consistently around basic structural tone centers and avoid the extenuated development in their connection to one another that made earlier Gorgoroth albums listening expeditions.
With the technique of enough distortion enwrapping each riff, a chromatic cloud of melodic resonance is created in which the riff is visualized by the listener as the sound between the root tones and the ambient background, as reflective of itself in a the depolarization of tones and subtones.
Of note are the grimly romantic Gorgoroth and the Burzum-esque ambient fade of Sorg, ending the album in obscure darkness.

Their new album, and debut for Mascot Records, is a good example of their style, quite melodic metal, with layers of synthesisers, screaming vocals and the odd death grunt to go with it.
LIAR OF GOLGOTHA is one of those black metal bands that have a very provocative name, and therefore one might be led to think that the band plays extremely fast and brutal music.
There are some excellent bands out there but when the deathmetal revival began alot of BM bands went deeper underground.

 BNR Metal Pages -- Gorgoroth
They've got the standard corpsepaint visual, they have suitably black-metal-like pseudonyms, their present and past members have several ties to other black metal bands, and most importantly, their music is firmly rooted in old-school black metal, in the tradition of Darkthrone, Marduk, and the like.
Formed in 1992 and taking their name from Lord Of The Rings (as have many other bands), Gorgoroth is a pretty typical Norwegian black metal band in many respects.
Their most recent album, 2000's Incipit Satan, is by far their most adventurous, as they are starting to spread their wings just a bit without sacrificing any of their early evilness or intensity.

To say that GORGOROTH’s “Incipit Satan” album is an unequal release would be an understatement to say the least.
The fact that I was able to plug in the Pop band RAMMSTEIN for a comparison in a GORGOROTH review should scare the hell out of you all, but the fact is this is just not a great release.
