Gorgoroth

[ochoill]

Turned off Twilight... boring shite.

I still haven't put it back on since remembering it the other day but this isn't making me rush to it either

Was that the one I had the cd of back in the day?

The very same yeah.  I feel like we had a tape off Gooey with another album on it but I can't remember which it was.

Pentagram is their only album that I would consider 10/10 and really the only album I like of theirs in full. It gets played regularly at the gym.

Wound upon wound, destroyer and procreating Satan would be the only Gaahl songs I enjoy but he's brilliant live.

I know fuck all about Gorgoroth but this song is amazing:

Shame the rest of the album sounds nothing like that.

Yeah that track is deadly.

Missed this thread until now, great band!! I've always liked Gorgoroth but only keep going back to Pentagram and Antichrist. There's some sort of edge to them that lack on all other albums.

We opened their gig in Curitiba/Brazil in 2004, before Gaahl became more popular than the band itself. At the time I thought they were weird alright, but thinking back they were probably just being too Norwegian and keeping it to themselves.

The drum sound on Under the Sign of Hell is awesome. No other album sounds like that.

I listen to the first three regularly still, some of my favourite songs on them, and I have a soft spot for Incipit Satan, which I think is under-rated. Not gone on Destroyer, nor most of the later stuff, bit boring.

Expended quite a bit of effort trying to sort a one-off gig in the Forum or Nancy's between 2002 and 2005,as I'd kept in contact with the guitarist after doing an interview for that fuckin zine I spent six years on and never actually put out...

That Dublin gig in 2005 is one of my favourites ever. Class set and a great session afterwards. Nick Barker didn't play on that tour, and I don't think it was your man from Wardruna either. He might have had something to do with Taake back then.

Belfast's tiny entry into the Gorgoroth history (and prob another reason why they won't come back)

I went into Belfast to go to the gig and ended up getting sidetracked by some mates and just hitting bars instead, as you do when you're young. regretted it after of course.

They played Belfast again after that show in the Limelight with Pest a few years later. Things like that would encourage bands like this to come back not stop them as it would be great publicity.
