It took another three years, until the follow up to "Incipit Satan" was recorded. After the departure of guitar player Tormentor, Gorgoroth continue on as a four piece, adding another guitar player when it comes time for touring and live shows. "Twilight of the Idols" shows Gorgoroth from several sides and could possibly be the darkest chapter in their career. Finally it is traditional Black Metal of Norwegian origin, performed by the ones who know how it works and who do it the best."
Members:
Infernus (Roger Tiegs) - Vocals, Guitars
Gaahl - Vocals
King Ov Hell - Bass
Dirge Rep - Drums (Live)
Eihwaz (formerly Skagg) - Guitars (Live)

For the first time I can honestly say that I enjoyed a song from Gorgoroth. I finished up listening to "Satan-Prometheus" on their myspace and quite enjoyed it. While the production wasn't that great, I thought the overall songwriting was pretty good. There were as many suffocating blastbeats as usual, the riffing was more memorable than most of their songs, and I really enjoyed Pest's vocals (especially the clean ones) even though some people would argue he's not as good as he was. However, seeing I never really like Gorgoroth this comes as a breath of fresh air. This is just on the first listen, of one song, maybe if I pursue it more I'll either find out if it's actually good or not. Oh yeah, and Frank Watkins in corpse paint? Fucking' evil! "REBIRTH OF GOR-GO-ROOOOOOOOOOOOOTH!" I thought that pretty fucking evil too.

Written by Hellish Star on 14.12.2009 at 23:07 Yeah! I actually just finished listening to the whole thing (thanks youtube!). The new song on their myspace convinced me and I actually quite liked it. Another listen sometime will either enforce this or not.

Written by Detric on 15.12.2009 at 02:02 Gaahl is as far as I know still doing the Wardruna thing, interesting but I didn't care for it. King however, well, he's in this "super group!" with Frost and Shagrath, the band is called "Ov Hell" and sounds like a poor mix of Gaahl/King era Gorgoroth and late Dimmu Borgir. Good guitar work (sounds just like 200's Gorgoroth), but, the vocals are up to the listener to decide, I don't care for them myself.

Written by Detric on 15.12.2009 at 18:04 A shame yes but, if any thing they've reverted back to being closer to who they were when they started, it's still great, pure black metal.

Their latest album is ORGASM MATERIAL. Especially mid way through "Rebirth" even though it is just advertising for their Lineup change.

Geez, Gorgoroth is a band that I always keep coming back to and wondering why I haven't been listening to them 24/7. Something about their sound is crack to me. Every one of their vocalists has been fantastic in their own way in my book. Yep, even Ghaal, who aside from all the 'drama' crap that arises around him every other month, is a far above average BM vocalist. There are some days when I can just sit and listen to their discography and convince myself it was a day well spent. Musically Gorgoroth kick the ass out of their contemporary Norwegian Raw BM fellows nowadays. They are raw and dirty as hell but still manage to instill large amounts of feeling when needed. So....good.

Gorgoroth are one of my favorites. "Revelation of Doom" was the first song I heard by them. Liked them ever since.

Written by Got Mayhem? on 10.06.2010 at 23:21 My man.  I've been in love with Gorgoroth since I first heard "Pentagram" back when I was 11. At first, I just really liked the drumms and the speed, but as time went on, I was able to feel the evil atmosphere that was simply pouring from the album. It's one of my favorite albums to this very day, in fact. Needless to say, "Antichrist" and "Under The Sign of Hell" are masterpieces as well. About Gaahl... yeah, he wasn't a bad vocalist, but I belive he was affecting the band very badly. So bad that I like to pretend that "Incipit Satan" and "Twilight of The Idols" don't exist. Not the mention all the fucking drama and media-whoreness that followed him. Although, I'm a bit dissapointed with the latest release. It's not bad, and Infernius is surely taking the steps in the right direction, but they are merely baby steps, at least for now. I can't wait for them to release the next album, that one may bring all the awesomeness of old Gorgoroth back.

Written by Slayer666 on 11.06.2010 at 21:37 Yea that's basically the conclusion I came to in my review of "Quantos" as well. It was pretty solid work but nothing jawdropping.

Written by Got Mayhem? on 11.06.2010 at 21:54 Yeah, but "Quantos" has some really standout songs. If the next album is filled with tracks as purely amazing as "Sathan-Prometheus", I think I'll have an orgasm listening to it.

Written by Slayer666 on 11.06.2010 at 23:47 Yep, it really did. That's another thing about Gorgoroth - every one of their albums (except perhaps for Destroyer which lacks a consistent feel because of how it was recorded) has a 'feel' that I find to be extremely enjoyable to listen to. It's not really overly complex or original music either, they just have hit the bank on their particular sound. Based on "Quantos" I'm more excited than ever for another release.

Gorgoroth is the band which got me into the real sound of black metal. There is no overly played elements in trve BM, just straight-up, dissonant, hateful, viciously aggressive, and cryptically meaningful creativity. It fights a psychological war against what really rots the mind; moral enslavement. I was weened on bands like Cradle or Dimmu before Gorgoroth, now in the depths of the underground, I have found the most intense of expression possible for the genre. Feelings of despair and grief can make such spellbinding music just as hate and anger do. Metal can really express anything.

Written by Born-2rise on 30.06.2010 at 00:21 You're clearly missing the point.Half of the appeal with these kind of bands is that the musicians are edgy and insane and therefore totally awesome. /sarcasm.

Written by Born-2rise on 30.06.2010 at 00:21  That's mostly stuff that one particular member who is no longer part of the band did. He payed for his crimes. As for the mock crucifixions they're done safely and performed by actors who are payed for their services.As for liking 'them mentally deranged retards', they make some of the best BM to have graced this rotten earth. Try looking at the music before the artist.

Written by Born-2rise on 30.06.2010 at 00:21 Despite that comments have already been made and so on and so forth..I can't resist this one. Now, while I do have mixed feelings about Gaahl after his whole stunt regarding himself, King and Infernus, plus a few other publicity attention grabbers. I still agree with Gaahl's decision to teach that redneck a lesson, it may have seemed like an "extreme" action but, you can be sure that the man who was tortured won't try that shit again; at least not on Gaahl. As for their stage theatrics well, that's all part of the message and purpose of black metal, as are the church burnings of the past.

Written by Born-2rise on 30.06.2010 at 16:14 Most of the time those people are just f**ked in the head or lost, but have generally good intentions, especially musically (although I don't necessarily agree with Euronymous' "black metal circle" and convincing every death metal band to go black, that was the past though so w/e). Church burnings are just violent protest against Christianity, which most black metal artists look down to, or blaspheme and hate. As for Gaahl, he's a joke. Like Kam Lee once said, "I don't get why people take metal so seriously. It's all one big joke to me." Well, I don't exactly believe that, but I do think Gaahl does take this "satanic black metal" thing too far. Acting like a badass Punisher-like guy after torturing that trespasser while causing all sorts of drama before, then coming out, then starting a women's clothes line named "happiness". At least Glen Benton was being sarcastic.
