Pest is the best vocalist they ever had and a blast to hang out with. I helped carry him out of the woods one time when he was passed out drunk. One of many great times with Pest. The good ol days...
Hat means Hate in Norwegian yes he could called himself Hate but I think he decided because Hat is in his native language. Hat is my favorite vocalist of Gorgoroth and the best for me.
When you're talking about the ''new'' vocalist, you're showing images of Hoest from Taake doing live vocals for them. I know because I was there in France for their show at Hellfest 2014. Good video, Gorgoroth are the best from Norway, with Emperor and Immortal completing my top 3. Cheers !
The funny thing is that when I listen to King Diamond talk about being a satanist I take him seriously because he sounds like he actually knows what he's talking about and understands the concept of it, when I listen to Ghaal talking about it I feel like I'm listening too the obnoxious goth kid "satanists" that I went to high school with in the late 90's who just said shit like that to try and get a rise out of people and seem "intimidating" when they were really just sad losers with low self esteem who no one really liked because they were assholes.
I actually had a good chuckle out of gaahl when i first watched that scene. I sort of got the feeling he was that type of person who tajes himself too seriously
Saying Ad Majorem is a bad album might legitimately be the most deranged take I’ve ever heard. It’s easily in my top 3 Gorgoroth albums and is a gem in the black metal genre. Track for track, it’s one of the heaviest albums in black metal, period. It’s a fucking unhinged sound.
Cool video, but you need to do some more research. Pest was kicked because he refused doing a scheduled tour, and you show pictures of Hoest, who sings live for Gorgoroth while talking about Atterigner. But again.. great video. I agree with you for the most part
The first black metal song I ever heard was Rebirth, and I fell in love instant! The whole album is a masterpiece. The atmosphere, vocals, and Infernus's riffs was so amazing! Now I mostly listen to black metal daily, thanks for Gorgoroth 🤘My favourite song is Krig 2011 version. The atmosphere, coldness and how it sounds perfect as listened at winter. It also reminds me of old Finnish children song called ''Mörri-Möykky'' which lyrics tells about trolls and nature.
Personally I find masterpieces in each era of gorgoroth. Like Gorgoroth, Måneskyggens slave, Prosperity and beauty , Rebirth.. You have an issue with Ghaal haha!
Antichrist was originally supposed to be a fully fleshed-out 8-track album according to Hat in an old metal magazine, but considering how he suddenly departed during the album's production, it was cut down in an impromptu way. Something tells me Hat's disappearance has something to do with creative differences with Infernus (the latter has admitted in interviews that he's hard to work with) and just personal reasons that many still speculate about to this day. The same thing happened with Pest during the production of Destroyer. Considering how Pest would be fired in 2012 when he was doing a poor job of keeping up with touring schedules and was replaced by Hoest, I think that might have been the reason why he left in 1997 during Destroyer's production. Needless to say, I think him coming back for Quantos possunt was an amazing comeback. I have mixed opinions on Gaahl (he's not nearly as awful as King), I think Incipit Satan, A World to Win and Unchain My Heart are great and An Excerpt of X has grown on me over the years. The rest of it is either complete garbage or instantly forgettable. I appreciate the editing at 10:54, Twilight of the Idols is really just bad, especially by Gorgoroth standards.
I actually enjoyed Incipit Satan a lot. Last record was kick ass and unlike many i actually enjoyed the vocals Haha yeah, i dont know if Gaahl just puts an act when on camera lol or maybe he is always like that.
Although I do understand the reason for distaste on Gaahl, I will stand on the side of Twilight & Glorium being solid albums. And I actually did not like Quontos! Otherwise I agree with mostly everything else.
my ex once showed me that clip of Gaahl saying "............................................................................................. satan" and that was my exact reaction to the clip
Hey man, do you find it strange that they have yet to perform a single song from their new album? Also what are your thoughts on hoest being a live member?
i have good news and bad news, good news is that i will do them for sure, bad news is that i will either do the dissection either a year or two from now
DownFall NetWork Whyyyyyyyyyy??? I'm sorry. Dissection is litterally my favorite band next to Death. What is your opinion on Dissections music? I love all of there albums! They are all classics. Anyways good channel and great videos!
I have to rely on a schedule that consists of a verity of quality of discogs, length of discogs, and my opinions on the band. If i did nothing but bands I love it would be boring as hell. Also i do about 10 black metal bands every year during the winter. I randomly selected about 10 bands using some verity and Dissection wasn't chosen. The first two albums are classic especially the second one, but the last one is not that good.
DownFall NetWork I really like the last one two. Incredible album! They are all (somewhat) equal in my opinion. The second one is best! Have a great day, and Keep up the good work!
Thumbs up! Under The sign of hell, is absolutely one of my favorite black metal albums! So great vocals. Pest was and looks insane, one of the amazing vocalists of black metal. But for Gaahl, in my opinon, he should have stayed with the band Trelldom, he was so amazing with this band, one of my fave black metal bands in that time i admit, and sounded so much more emotional and sorrowfull, the screams and so on. He had his own identity with that band, amazing voice there, one of the best. But what happened after that, he screwed up. Didn´t sound like him self anymore. He just didn´t fit with Gorgoroth! Not his style.
there's a few songs in their earlier years that have a clanky drum sound that i just love it sounds like he's hitting a muted trashcan lid and its fantastic anyway infernus is a maestro if gaahl and king would have just went with his writing maybe that era would have been better i mention gorgoroth to people and the second they start talking you can tell they don't know anything except the gaahl era when quantos came out it had to be the all-time comeback album along with varg's belus those two albums marked returns of sounds i never expected to hear again in my lifetime anyway great channel im going to watch the sargiest video now
Say what you want about Gaahl and King but "ad majorem sathanas gloriam" was a great album. Much better than the boring albums that Infernus made afterwards. Saying that Gorgoroth is Of course Infernus band
i don’t like how on bloodstains the circle from under the sign of hell 2011 the vocals are all black metal and instead of pests cleaner yelling on the original 97 release. all in all its still pretty great.
A biased guy trying to appeal to the edgy black metal purists by praising the albums they all love without much of explaining and bashing the stuff the purists hate. Commentary is basically "It's just the best/shit". It's pretty ironical how Black metal fans are listening to music which message is not being the sheep, but they are the biggest sheep herd as a community, kissing each other's asses and acting like they know what is good and bad. And top of all that, they call the people they deem unworthy, as posers. Calling Gaahl a poser? Go try that in front of his face. And I've met Gaahl and he's a very friendly dude and I'd never go fuck around with him like that. He's also good friends with all the artists you like as he's part of Norwegian Black Metal circles and other well-known BM musicians support him, like Emperor'd Faust, members of Mayhem etc. Are they posers too? Gaahl is, you like it or not, a prominent figure in BM scene and excellent singer. A poser making a video where he's calling others posers. Who would've guessed.
Check out Quantos Possunt and Instinctus Beastialis, if you take the few good songs on Destroyer and compose more in the same style you will have these later post-Gaahl albums.
Gorgoroths public image has been entirely consumed by Gaahl being Black Metal's largest Edgelord. Even post Gaahl/King being kicked out of the band Infernus is always going to have that edgy shadow looming over him.
I’ve seen the Sam Dunn Evolution of Metal yea some of it was not great but the guy put in a lot of work for that documentary, my buddy is into music he was watching your thoughts on the band. He plays it while we’re hanging out, not my kind of music. Alice In Chains is my favorite band and I also play guitar covers of them but getting back to my original point I don’t get your issue with him and why it even came up with my buddy and I after watching your UA-cam review..
Smh…Facts are that Gaahl is a powerful front man & unique vocalist who took the band to a different level. Not sure how you can call him a “poser” in the same video you describe the crimes that make him t he real deal. He’s an animal
He’s an animal that relies on reverb to sound even acceptable. His antics and personality is what got him attention - the definition of a poser. Musically he’s bang average and he is just unable to reach the really animalistic cries of hat and pest. I don’t really care for the politics of the band or the egos of its members but as far as the music is concerned, ghaal has less than 10% of the ability of his predecessors and successors and so had to use post production to mask his shortcomings. He’s not bad, he can scream, but just nowhere as well as he makes himself out to be.
Pest sounds like just another Dead Metal vocalist. Gaahl is just charismatic, and his lyrics and voice is actually very meaningful and deep. And his stage presence is unparalled in black metal too.
pest is using the same technique maniac used but better executed. I teach extreme vocals and he's got that scream down. It's the same technique the emo bands use.
So late to this: hating the Gaahl era isn’t the exception, it’s the rule. It’s a pretty generic attitude honestly. Infernus would have written this stuff, you’d have loved it. Don’t be that guy.
Under The Sign of Hell was for me their absolute masterpiece, the riffs, the atmosphere, the vocals, everything was perfect
Absolutely
Pest is the best vocalist they ever had and a blast to hang out with. I helped carry him out of the woods one time when he was passed out drunk. One of many great times with Pest. The good ol days...
Hat means Hate in Norwegian yes he could called himself Hate but I think he decided because Hat is in his native language. Hat is my favorite vocalist of Gorgoroth and the best for me.
thanks for the info
You're always welcome \m/
Hat also means hate in Swedish if you didn’t know. Scandinavian myself and I love this band.
For me it's easily Pest , Hat sounds a bit annoying in the 1st album because he isn't as loud as I would of wanted his vocals to be
It's funny that not many people catch on to that
When you're talking about the ''new'' vocalist, you're showing images of Hoest from Taake doing live vocals for them. I know because I was there in France for their show at Hellfest 2014. Good video, Gorgoroth are the best from Norway, with Emperor and Immortal completing my top 3. Cheers !
I love how you open up with Gorgoroth's best song.
seriously PEST was the best vocalist this band ever had. under the sign of hell.
The best vocalist black Metal ever had
True... Pest was a lot of fun to hang out with also.
I still like Atterigners vocals though. Very different. Almost blackened death metal styled. But yes, Pest is the best
The rites of infernal invcation got the craziest pitch screams I've heard so far
The funny thing is that when I listen to King Diamond talk about being a satanist I take him seriously because he sounds like he actually knows what he's talking about and understands the concept of it, when I listen to Ghaal talking about it I feel like I'm listening too the obnoxious goth kid "satanists" that I went to high school with in the late 90's who just said shit like that to try and get a rise out of people and seem "intimidating" when they were really just sad losers with low self esteem who no one really liked because they were assholes.

Gorgoroth first albums are amazing, not overrated
@Vekhet Akhevel yes my mistake

Crushing the scepter is my favorite song of Gorgoroth. It brought my right away to BM at the age of 13.
Atterigner and Hoest are two different people.
Hoest is the live vocalist, Atterigner sings in the albums only, cause he's stuck in Serbia with Tupac.
Awesome video, thanks! Looking forward to see more. I agree with you in almost everything you said. The first 3 albums are masterpieces.
thanks
The begining of the vid is fukn hillarious
Cool video, but you need to do some more research. Pest was kicked because he refused doing a scheduled tour, and you show pictures of Hoest, who sings live for Gorgoroth while talking about Atterigner.
But again.. great video. I agree with you for the most part

This video is worth it alone for the dunk on Gaahl in the beginning. :D
I actually enjoyed Incipit Satan a lot. Last record was kick ass and unlike many i actually enjoyed the vocals
Haha yeah, i dont know if Gaahl just puts an act when on camera lol or maybe he is always like that.
Whyyy twilight of the idols and ad majorem i love those two
my all time favorite is their debut, Pentagram
Mine too hail Pentagram
i love that album but their demo A sorcery written in blood is even better imo
Twilight of the idols is for sure the best Gorgoroth album and one of the best black metal album overall .
Nice job on the retrospective. I just wanted to ask if you ever thought about going a Motorhead review series or retrospective?
LOL WE ALREADY HAVE ONE, there are playlists for the retrospectives, just look through them
DownFall NetWork Really? Shit! I must be retarded as FUCK!!!!!! I'll go check it out. Thanks!
Incipit Satan is my favorite Gorg album. It's not their classic stuff, but I love the production and riffage.
Love the story time about our protagonist Infernus. Pentagram rules.
Although I do understand the reason for distaste on Gaahl, I will stand on the side of Twilight & Glorium being solid albums. And I actually did not like Quontos! Otherwise I agree with mostly everything else.
Burzum, Marduk, Mayhem, Darkthrone after that bands Gorgoroth comes.
No matter what haters say, Gaahl will always be great!
Mmmmmmmmm I don't think so
Live at Wacken 08 is the epitome of black metal. Ghaal’s stage presence and the fire makes it hypnotizing. Fuck the haters.
they did some awesome songs with ghaal though like a world to win and sign of an open eye
Or maybe, just maybe that's how Gaahl actually is
my ex once showed me that clip of Gaahl saying "............................................................................................. satan" and that was my exact reaction to the clip
Under a sign of hell is my favorite of there albums as well
I prefer Destroyer
the most recent album has Hoest from Taake on vocals
Hey man, do you find it strange that they have yet to perform a single song from their new album? Also what are your thoughts on hoest being a live member?
Can you do a review of Dissections albums?
i have good news and bad news, good news is that i will do them for sure, bad news is that i will either do the dissection either a year or two from now

Man, i understand you, but... for me, Incipt Satan is a fucking album! i like the vocals of Gaahl, with that 'noises', 'effects'.
there's a few songs in their earlier years that have a clanky drum sound that i just love
it sounds like he's hitting a muted trashcan lid and its fantastic
anyway infernus is a maestro
if gaahl and king would have just went with his writing maybe that era would have been better
i mention gorgoroth to people and the second they start talking you can tell they don't know anything except the gaahl era
when quantos came out it had to be the all-time comeback album along with varg's belus
those two albums marked returns of sounds i never expected to hear again in my lifetime
anyway great channel im going to watch the sargiest video now
Theyre my favorite black metal band excluding the gaahl era. Infernus just writes shit that always sounds great. Dudes a monster.
Taake retrospective and MGLA retrospective please !
Say what you want about Gaahl and King but "ad majorem sathanas gloriam" was a great album. Much better than the boring albums that Infernus made afterwards. Saying that Gorgoroth is Of course Infernus band

Pentagram doesn't have an instrumental song lol. Awesome vid as always though. I really hate how they just took a straight nose dive later on lol.
Yes, it does

Hat is way better than Pest. After Antichrist Gorgoroth went downhill
the demo is the best , what kind of research u doin Oo omfg
Personally, the king era is my favorite era. It's cliche now, but at the time it was fantastic. Gorogorth has been pretty forgetful before and since.
This is one band I never really got into.
Amazing fist minute!!! X''''D

@Snikendeskjultgulrotnepe I didnt said Gaahl like them, actually I dont care what Gaahl like is just his music I wanted. Grrrrr
Song of the intro?
Pest sounds like just another Dead Metal vocalist. Gaahl is just charismatic, and his lyrics and voice is actually very meaningful and deep. And his stage presence is unparalled in black metal too.
I agree with this
But I do looks their whole discography
But the earlier stuff is the best and I love the new one
Love your channel but whatever you think about x band. Frost is a fkn demi-god.
Hail Frost!
Agreed
Hail Frost🤘🔥☠️
The Ghaal era had great songs, it’s just the production on those albums was absolutely atrocious. They sound great live.
SATAN
also i dare you to do a retrospect on Goatmoon
"Katharin Ass Bort Gang"
and the ghaal ov hell era was great music but its sad that they hijacked the band and infernurnis wasnt really writing the music
pest is using the same technique maniac used but better executed. I teach extreme vocals and he's got that scream down. It's the same technique the emo bands use.
u called frost bad...?
Yeah he just did that....
What a clown anti frost anti gaahl ...
Incipit Satan is the only album with gaahl thats good
