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)

Everytime I heard the name of "Gorgoroth" I thought about Dark Funeral and therefore never chacked them because I don't like the Noisecore thing... Although Marduk do that thing well and that's why that's the only band I like in the kind of Black Metal. But something maked me feel like I have to give this guys a opportunity. And today I cheked their Myspace... I think is a fan-site but it has songs from the old albums and I was totally blowed away. It was quite amazing. Specially the song "Gorgoroth" with a really good bass and vocals [and the clean ones were perfect] At times it was even melodic. So... Can someone telll me which albums are good? I liked the sound of the songs that came from the first 3 albums. Anyone who can recommend me more? How are the other albums?

Written by Sunioj on 18.12.2008 at 17:42 That's a shame indeed... But at least I know now that they were fucking great back then But I heard some mixed opinions about the twilight of the idols so I thin the best thing is to try by myself... Thanks for answering so fast!

Written by X-Ray Rod on 18.12.2008 at 17:20 lol it's norsecore. and you should definitely give Incipit Satan a spin or two as well. possibly their strongest album tbh.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 18.12.2008 at 17:47 They aren't really norsecore and most of their albums are good to me. I hated Twilight of the Idols at first, but now it's one of my favorites, especially the first song, Procreating Satan. m/ You can also try reading the previous posts in this thread. Edit: I just now realized that Pest will be the vocalist in Infernus' Gorgoroth. Sweet!

I really like Gorogoroth, Antichrist being my favourite album. I'm ususally picky when it comes to these kind of black metal bands, although I can enjoy their new-er material as well. Not that it matters, but as a matter of interest. There is a rumor that Gaahl is a homosexual. True?

Written by Dangerboner on 21.12.2008 at 01:15 Yeah... I don't know why, but I always thought they were norsecore... When I heard the name of Gorgoroth I thought about Dark Funeral and that's why I didn't checked them out. Strange indeed.. since they are not the same thing :p

Written by Daniel on 21.12.2008 at 11:45 That's not a rumour. Gaahl came out of the closet publicly a couple of months back.

Written by Guest on 21.12.2008 at 22:30 I quite agree with you. I have seen that term pop up with tr00 nekro kvlt krieg frostbitten black metal kiddies denoting bands such as Marduk (nothing to do with Norway so Norse is wrong here hahaha), Dark Funeral etc. the bm bands that just blast away.I think the first website to use the term Norsecore are our [sarcasm]brilliantly talented[/sarcasm] friends of www.anus.com

Written by Guest on 21.12.2008 at 22:30 Some people discribe it this way: A term describing bands like Marduk or Dark Funeral that play "unneccesarily" fast, hence the - core. That's off course not my sentence... I took it from a another thread. I know that it's not the best way to describe it but whatever.

Depends how you look at it. If you can't grasp the music with the blast beats, then i dont think you should be listening to it. Anything with 'core' generally sucks anyway.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 22.12.2008 at 00:43 What? unnecessarily? Why? Marduk is an extreme Black Metal band.. What is the problem?

Written by Hamird on 22.12.2008 at 02:04 The explanation is not something I wrote but something I quoted in a thread here in MS [If I remember correctly is from the Marduk thread]. But if you want MY opinion... I think some [I repeat: SOME] bands play fast just for the sake of playing fast and it sounds just way to boring, dull and monotonous... It's good if the albums is around 30 min [like Panzer Division Marduk] but after a while it gets boring because it seems you're hearing the same thing over and over again. Black metal bands don't need to play fast to be extreme.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 22.12.2008 at 02:12 I see what you say.. For me, many Power Metal bands which are just fast and got no talent behind the songs are boring too, and same for Extreme Metal bands.. But about Marduk, I think they perform a unique music. I think their music is a mixture of Thrash and Black Metal.

But they do. Regardless of your opinion. No, they do not need to play fast to be extreme, but they do , and it really works & it seems to be the sound alot of them are going for, which is great. It's how early Black Metal was. Take early Bathory & Hellhammer for example. Outstanding bands these days like Funeral Mist & Triumphator play extremely fast. Which is the sound they are going for.seriously, wouldnt slow black metal be repetitive and boring and sound like your hearing the same thing over and over again also? It's just a matter of taste and opinion.

Written by Daniel on 22.12.2008 at 02:51 Ok... I know I got owned with this comment  But the difference is that you can listen carefully to how the riffs change... If it's insanely fast it's hard to tell for the person who's not into this kind of black [for me it's normal now  ]But yeah.. matter of opinions. And Hamird... Marduk totally kick ass, but now we have to get back on topic!

On the fast. vs. slow discussion, it can of course work both ways. It's all about the strength of the riffs.

^ or the atmosphere. really fast black metal usually lacks in atmosphere imo. eh, but anyways. gorgoroth is not norsecore. norescore is black metal with a grindcore philosophy and over the top satanic lyrics and imagery. so let's move on. i'm really curious about Infernus' gorgoroth tbh. perhaps his hatred toward ghaal and king will result in a great album. i certainly hope so.

Written by Damnated on 22.12.2008 at 23:31 I bet its going to be good. Especially because Pest is coming back as the vocalist. While Ghaal is singing about how in love with his new boyfriend he is Infernus will be spitting lyrics of hatred and malice towards his old bandmates... or he wont and he will just ignore them completely. That would be even more Kvlt, Grim, and whatever the hell else you'd say for it

"Carving A Giant" was a pretty insanely awesome video. But I've heard many rumors about this band. So, did they use to kill animals on stage and such? And call me ignorant for NOT knowing this, but were some of the band members the ones who were involved in the church burnings in Norway back sometime in the 90's? I was a little kid then so don't condemn me lol.

While the plethora of nowadays (or old, for that matter) black metal seems kind of goofy, Gorgoroth always struck me as being very serious. I think theyre a bunch of ass clowns personally, but youve got to admire their conviction. I have a feeling that they dont like knock knock jokes.

I dont really like Gorgoroth that much. no matter how many times i try to listen to them and give them a real chance, i cant help but chuckle a bit at the vocals. the first song from Pentagram sounds like a really black metal, really twisted version of "its a small world after all".

I thoroughly enjoy Gorgoroth's stuff, my favorite album is Incipit Satan. I do agree that their early albums are their best stuff.

Written by Zombie, M.D. on 25.12.2008 at 09:19 Yeah for some reason, the only black metal bands that actually give me a real evil vibe are Gorgoroth, Mayhem, and Ondskapt. I can't even listen to Ondskapt because they make me feel horrible lol.

It might have caused a "hustle" but his sexuality doesn't effect the quality of his music.

Being a BM musician with his kind of reputation for being a general badass (whether you like his music or not) you have to admit he has some real guts for comming out of the closet. This isn't going to effect his music at all and I'm looking forward to whatever he comes out with next. Whether or not it's going to be with a band called Gorgoroth or not is yet to be seen, as the two bands are supposed to be going to court this month to begin settling the disput.
