Editorial Reviews

Limited Edition re-issue of the 2003 album. Gorgoroth's brand of black metal is straight-ahead, primal pounding, with the scuzzy guitar grind and bleeding-throat vocals that typify the genre at its most basic. Includes the songs 'Teeth Grinding' and 'Of Ice and Movement'. Back On Black. 2006. --This text refers to the Vinyl edition.

Not a shabby tune in the bunch. The opening track is on the verge of white noise and then goes into some insane mixed vocals-- very nice track.

The overall sound is pretty raw, noisy, and weaves in and out of slow, gloomy sludge into blazing grind. Very brutal album, worthy of your hard earned cash...

5.0 out of 5 stars Evil Masterwork, July 24, 2004

Make no mistake, Twilight is a great piece of music and a masterwork. A combination of furious guitars, keen drumming, violent vocals (provided by the great Ghaal) and sometimes odd effects, industrial noises, and a keyboard piece make this a truely black and evil album.
Though some may say it makes little ground compared to Destroyer or Incipit Satan, this album is more together than the others. While Destroyer is all over the place, and Incipit Satan goes from great to mediocre, Twilight is a refined and finished piece from start to finish.
(hint: go to centurymedia.com to get this and other gorgoroth cds for $5!)

4.0 out of 5 stars True Black Metal(Minus a little feeling)...., December 2, 2003

This review is from: Twilight of the Idols (In Conspiricy With Satan) (Audio CD)

Alright the new Gorgoroth, usually a milestone in my life, lets you down a little. I love all Gorgoroth albums, even the much-detested Destroyer and Incipit Satan. This one has the usual euro-infected thrash riffs Infernus has become notorious for in the last few years. Yes, it's heavy, yes it's fast, and yes, it's necro!! But much of what made Gorgoroth special, the ambiance, is gone. What happened to being able to write songs like Sorg, Gorgoroth, and Katharinas Bortgang? I think part of the problem lies in the songwriting. Usually all songs are composed by Infernus alone, this time he let King Of Hell(bass) write like 80 Percent of the songs??? What the hell is wrong with him?? Don't get me wrong, any Gorgoroth is better than 99 percent of so-called black metal. But we need the scuzz-ambiance back. Any band can recycle Exodus riffs. Gorgoroth needs to Destroy...which they almost do.
