4.0 out of 5 stars Warlike continuation, March 28, 2003

Filth Reload "Fort Delilah" (Sweden) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Under the Sign of Hell (Audio CD)

Gorgoroth's third output is more of a return to the grand classic "Pentagram". This could very well be described as a more compact high-speed version of "Antichrist", as fast often-changing riffs fill this disc, riffs that still maintain the ingenious neo-classical atmosphere of earlier albums. The rather infamous production of this offering gives it a bouncy, warlike twist, as the drums are almost ridiculously distinct, but do serve a purpose. Gorgoroth's emotional compositions suit even this aesthetic to perfection, and this work is great both song by song and as a destructively optimistic unity. Excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars True Black Metal Invocation!, October 19, 1999

LORD BITTERFROST (East Norwich, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Under the Sign of Hell (Audio CD)

"Under the Sign of Hell",the ultimate triumph of Gorgoroth's compositions is raw, primitive, and with a sound that can be explained as souding as if it was recorded hundreds of years ago. Do not misunderstand me, Gorgoroth is certainly not simplistic, especially in terms of Infernus' guitar structures which often conjure a mesmerizing, soul devouring quality. Pest's vocals are that of a hallucinating mad man, screaming in schizophrenic evil abhorrence during one hell of a black trip. Drums are courtesy of Vrolok, the epic drummer of the mighty AETERNUS, who lays down the catastrophic tempos present on this album. Ares, also of AETERNUS provides mountainous bass rythms on "Revelation of Doom". Gorgoroth's method of creating the most grim and bleakest of atmospheres is exceedingly convincing on this record. Be advised, this band is the essence of true black evil, using a horrid and caustic expression which enables Gorgoroth to possess a unigue sound that can not be overlooked. Of cousrse, this is not the album to begin a black metal collection with. Instead, one should progress toward its extremity. HAIL GORGOROTH!

This review is from: Under the Sign of Hell (Audio CD)

Even though, I believe Pentagram is their best to date, I had to review this one for the simple fact that it was the first gorgoroth album, I bought! This band in general is very innovated in a world that has commercialized metal, into this hybrid shock rock - don't let the war paint at first glance fool you, this is nothing like the mainstream crap you hear on a daily basis. Gorgoroth, is under-rated and this is why I like them. Touring with 1349 in the twilight of the idols tours, they bring the real slab of what black/death metal was, and is trying to bring it back into the world. I recommend this album, to those who love 1349, emperor, cryptopsy, and goatwhore.
