4.0 out of 5 stars Gorgoroth's aim avoids cliche, March 25, 2003
This review is from: Antichrist (Audio CD)
Gorgoroth's key objective is emotion. On "Antichrist", their concept is based around the mysteries of medieval metaphor, through melodies and (now) lengthy opuses reflecting a romantic touch to the dark ages. This would turn into cliche by lesser artists, but Gorgoroth make it beautiful. The sound production is fuzzier and less distinct than on their previous release, percussion is ritually repetitive and vocals now and then form a clean chant, all in order for this band to broaden their horizons in sorrow-filled music. Initially seemingly aimless, this disc turns out to be a masterful, almost baroque-inspired piece of dark art.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gorgoroth's Second Opus, October 19, 1999
By 
LORD BITTERFROST (East Norwich, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Antichrist (Audio CD)
In my opinion, "Antichrist" is quite an obscure Gorgoroth record. It has the capacity to maintain the ever grim bleakness and obscurity that is trademark of Gorgoroth's method of destruction but at 25 minutes, there isn't enough time to generate material comparable to that of their much hailed "Under the sign if Hell" album. As for the music on "Antichrist", Infernus' riffing is clearly the result of demonic possession. The vocals are divided amongst two unholy maniacs, Pest & Hat. Pest is the superior vocalist if your measuring stick is ouright insanity. On the drums, or "wooden coffins" as Gorgoroth would explain, is the superstar Frost of SATYRICON. Although, his performance is only average & repetitive in comparison to his highly technical drumming with SATYRICON. In conclusion, Gorgoroth values black metal expression in its orignal and savagely caustic form as their method of portraying the evil aesthetic. This album is more gauged to the eccentric Gorgoroth fan & collector.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just as the booklet says. "True Norwegian Black Metal", March 10, 2005
By 
This review is from: Antichrist (Audio CD)
They truly perfect their craft with this release. This is an incredible ep. If this had been an LP and had a logner running time (25min) this would be one of my favorite Black Metal release of all time. Sure it brings nothing new too the BM scene BUT it perfects it and show's what Black Metal really is all about. The song "Gorgoroth" is one of their best really captures what they're all about. The closing song Sorg is perfect in every way and leaves you wanting more. A MUST for any true BM fan. Can't recomend it enough, however if you dislike black metal this cd or any other Gorgoroth release won't change your mind. Enjoy.
