5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, July 24, 2004

By	Hellforge (brooklyn, ny United States) - See all my reviews

This album is a fine example of the great works Gorgoroth can produce. At points heavy, at others haunting and slow, it seems these guys know exactly what to throw into their songs to make them the manifests of evil they are (and then make it sound good!)
I keep coming back to this cd again and again, every time as satisfied with it as the day I bought it. Any fan of black metal can do no wrong buying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Weird Mannheim? Weird Gorgoroth!, June 15, 2000

By	Michael E. Mitchell (Northern Wastelands of Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

This is much more straight ahead than "Destroyer", so perhaps not quite as enjoyable, but it is still crushingly destructive. There are some actual THRASH riffs in here, and a lot of nuances that are enjoyed after repeated listenings. If by accident, any fan of Korny or Limp Wristed reads, you should do yourself a favour and check this out as an introduction of what power TRUE metal can wield! Of course, it would probably make you cry(and you can't understand them when they swear...and that's important to you, we TRUE metal people know!) There IS one waste of 5 minutes on the album, though: the pseudo-instrumental 7th track...but use that as a breather before the"crooning" black metal attack of "When Love Rages Wild in My Heart"(not as ridiculous as it sounds!) Production is a constant thickness throughout, and as far as I can tell, Gaahl does all the vocals on this one(as opposed to the variety of productions and vocalists in the past). Will not disappoint any existing fans, and just may convert some of the non-believers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Passionate Black Metal Art, March 2, 2003

By	Chernobog (South Africa) - See all my reviews

This album is absolutely amazing, i picked it up yesterday and...what can i say, it blew me away. Every track sounds different from the next, riffs are constantly changed and interspersed to fit the mood, but mostly they are crushing riffs ala Amon Amarth style. This album has variety...which is something most black metal lacks in my opinion, and it transgresses beyond simple black metal. Vocals keep changing, form the usual Bm rasp to Pete Steele gothy type of singing, the guitar work from Infernus and King ov Hell is sheer power, and most of all the drumming...the rhythms and the blasting make me bang my head involuntarily. This is pure value for money. Black metal art...alike to emperor's later works. Also, this album is dedicated to the late Grimm (ex-drummer) by the band who is one of my all time favourites. RIP Grimm, your brothers have not let you down.
