Gorgoroth fan here! Norwegian Black Metal is AMAZING! The guitarist is my friend. They're a satanic band, yes, but they are also very nice and kind hearted people.
If you are a friend of Infernus than please tell him to try harder. The albums have just become worse and worse after the Ad majorem album and so have the live shows. Also tell him to stop censoring Gorgoroths discography by removing three of their best albums. He should respect the fans and stop beeing such a petty little man
@@crimsondeath7468 Petty little man? No, I'm not going to tell Him that.. He's already heard too much of that over the years and it's enough already. Those of us who are bonafide true fans of Gorgoroth still enjoy watching Infernus take the stage and we will continue to do so no matter what happens. And as far as respecting the Fans, he does..very much in fact. And He could care less about the negative feedback about his personality. He is who He is, nobody can change that.
@@SarahAParis If he cared about his fans he would not keep three awesome albums from us just because he had personal differences with the members on those albums
Please tell infernus, he did a great job. Please do more awesome and extreme musics
You are a lucky one!
Darkthrone - A Blaze in the Northern Sky
DarkMarv66 hell yes i truly hope so
Kathaarian Life Code
Yeah, Kathaarian Life Code, In the Shadow of the horns, but right now, I'd say To walk the infernal fields would be the best introduction.
Best BM band out there
Unholy Black Metal - very good lyrics
All in this music is amazingly brutal. We need more bands with this kind of energy in black metal🤘
Try Watain
@@Yarghoul_ already know thanks
You're correct, Vin. Most of these bands you have heard this week are Norwegian, (Mayhem, Gorgoroth, Emperor, Dimmu Borgir), but we do have many people who are really good when it comes to the English language. Also should note that some started out singing in Norwegian and switched to English later on.
Or the other way round.
I was fortunate to have seen Gorgoroth live in Norway when Gaahl was still singing in the band. Two years prior I was there to see Dark throne play and Gaahl and I kept running into each other the whole weekend and he smiled at me. It's funny to tell people I made him smile.
Mgła - exercises in futility vi
Mgla - Exercises in Futility I
Mgla - With Hearts Towards None I
I've been asking for Mgla since they had ~5k subscribers. >.
MrSweenie both are great
Same here.
HELL YES, but start from Excercises In Futility I. Actually whole album is pure gold.
MGŁA - GROZA I
In the vice interview he didn’t say “he was upset at the fans that came to the show because of the music because he wanted it to be a ritual to Satan” as you mentioned.
What he said was that he was upset that people listen to Gorgoroth just to follow the band like sheep. His main point in the vice interview was that he is pagan and believes in a natural law and that in order for men to become great they must think for themselves and lead themselves instead of following blindly and letting others lead them like a shepherd.
Gaahl said that the message was there in the music, but the fans couldn’t understand or were unwilling to understand because they are followers/sheep. This is also a theme within Christianity (being a sheep).
Also, in the interview when gahl stares into the camera, he basically went into shut down mode because he spent the entire time with the crew trying to show them all the things I mentioned above and then the interviewer doesn’t have anything to say in the end except “what’s it like being in the elite and being a leader”. Gaahl responds with “I don’t think you are asking me the right question, I think you’re missing the whole point I’ve been trying to tell you”. Then the interviewer says “guide me” and he basically just shut down and locked himself in his own mind. It almost looked like he was in some type of meditative state.
I’m not a big vice fan, but that has to be unintentionally one of the greatest interviews they ever did. Those beta male interviewers ultimately proved Gaahls point in the end.
Exactly!
Right.
Someone else got it. +1
Absolutely he seemed very calm and intelligent in the interview and I really don't believe he is a Satanist I am sure he is an Odinist.
That is one message you can always see if you pay attention to it, all it takes is just a little thought
Gaal is a legend and I think his eyes steal your soul.
His voice steels your soul. He has an absolutely gorgeous voice.
@@nkvd1606 have you checked the new Ghaal's wyrd album. Superb.
BATHORY
Yes! Enter the Eternal fire or Fine day to die
Immortal - Beyond the North Waves
bro... gotta be some immortal here... one of the best...
another great reaction! Love the black metal reactions/discussions. So, of interest, my girlfriend and I traveled from our home in Canada to Bergen, Norway this past August - we are both devout black metal fans (our third visit to Norway in 14 months). Anyway, we spent a day with Gaahl and his boyfriend. We met them at their art gallery in the Bryggen district of Bergen (old town). After some fine wine and discussions, they took us around to some local pubs. We had an incredible time. Gaahl was an awesome host who ensured that we were comfortable and having a good time the whole night. He was social and engaging and not at all the picture most have of him. He surrounds himsef with some great people, and it was an absolute pleasure to get to know Gaahl and his circle of friends. I'd recommend visiting his gallery, Galleri Fjalar, if in Bergen - some stunning pieces adorn the walls.
Thanks for the heads up Jason, I'm from Canada as well, though living in NZ. My dream to visit Norway like that someday
Back in 2004 (I think), Gorgorth were investigated for breaking Polish anti-blasphemy laws (I think you can guess why) during a live concert. They were not charged in the end because it was ruled that they didn't know they were doing anything illegal. The concert organiser was fined for not informing the band about the laws. If I remember correctly the police confiscated all the footage from the show, which had been filmed for a live DVD.
Emperor - With strength I burn (Live from wacken), that is a great Emperor song to check out. Classic song with great sound quality.
Yes, the footage from the Polish gig was released on the 'Black Mass Krakow 2004' DVD. The stage setup portrayed in the 'Carving a Giant' video is actually a recreation of the one they used in Krakow.
Helldriller Blasphemy Laws what a joke.
Behemoth was as well
I saw these guys live in London about 10 years ago. I'd never heard them before and Gaahl stage presence and his stare is truly something to behold and the stage show in the video they had live too, real people are on those crosses and the floor for the entire show!
With Strength I Burn-Emperor (live Wacken 2006) guys It’s a legendary performance of a legendary song you are missing out on the finest BM Masterpiece It’s super beautiful, Sori will love it I think and Vin will have some amazing riffage to headbang too!
Greetings from Portugal!
Vin, it's interesting that you mention how the ugliness of Christ's crucifixion shouldn't bother a Christian person. Not so long ago I read a book by a Russian author Fedor Dostoevsky called "Idiot". The main protagonist of this book after seeing the painting "The Body of the Dead Christ in the Tomb" by Hans Holbein the Younger says that some people might lose their faith just by looking at that picture. The thing is on that painting Christ looks like a realistic corpse of a very tortured and tormented human and looking at him the godly nature of that being is about the last thing that comes to mind.
That was actually a pretty interesting answer. I didn't know of this painting, but I knew Hans Holbein for "The Ambassadors". While mostly commissioned to do nobles' portraits, this man had a very bitter view on the vanity of wealth and power, and a very down to earth view on mortality. I'm not a man of faith myself, but I don't think this Christ painting is enough to bring one's faith down by itself. I guess the man who wrote that book had some problems with faith himself, but during his time it was probably harder to pin it down, to admit he had strongs doubts. So he wrote a book about it to not directly associate himself with it.
Well, at least that's my modern understanding of it.
This painting is really touching, actually.
The Idiot*
Good book though.
Black Metal is the only form of metal that is pure and genuine.
One of my favourite Gorgoroth tracks is Profetens åpenbaring, pre Gaahl. Great track.
Great song indeed !
Amazing song
I actually prefer pre and post Gaahl eras.
Emperor's "With Strength I Burn" should make for an interesting reaction!
Acer Pseudoplantatus - it has to be the live version though, just sounds so much better.
Juhaliza - must be your hearing or something then, I can easily hear the guitars.
But then again I also own the live album of it as well, so I can go back and forth with this. For intensity and emotion I would go for the live version. Guess a difference of opinions. :)
Yes! This song is great and video too! Thank you!
Emperor - With Strength I Burn
Dimmu Borgir - either "The Insight and the Catharsis", or "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse"
Also, I might be wrong, but I think the drummer in this vid is Einar "Kvitrafn" Selvik, who went on to create a Nordic/Viking folk band called "Wardruna", and this vocalist "Gaahl" was on two of the three albums.
the drummer here was Dirge Rep
Satyricon- mother North live opera
A wise man knows that he knows nothing. Check your arrogance at the door.
Was just going to recommend this for a review so I’m excited to see what your thoughts are. They have really good interviews too.
For black metal week you missed one band, arguably the most important band in the history of black metal, Bathory. Blood fire death is a good place to start.
Coven - Black Sabbath (1969) First satanic record in the history of rock.
Gorgoroth is fantastic to me personally. If you wanna hear something less religious and more about ghosts, etc. Check out Carach Angren. Each album has a theme. I personally like the album, "Where the Corpses Sink Forever". Songs about soldiers in war, etc. World war 1, 2, and Vietnam. Great stuff.
+1 to this
Nothing is better on talking about war than Marduk. Another great suggestion.
Beautiful. Thank you guys for finally getting this one in. Been looking forward to it for a while. Was a very interesting watch.
Keep up the good work. Try to score an interview with Gaahl.
this video is amazing
Ragnarok- Collectors of the king
Dark Funeral- Unchain my soul
I was lucky enought to have a drink with Gaahl recently, and trut me when I say, he means every word.
Eloquently you explained the carving an eye of a giant. I have a new perspective now, thank you. God bless.
Heeeey you did my request! hell yeah
"Satan" ~ Gaahl
Children react to Gorgoroth
Gahl is not a satanist. He is actually pagan and in another band called Wardruna (Vin if you watch vikings you have heard wardruna they play it alot in the show :D )
Alleph da Costa hope they see this. Good point and Wardruna are amazing.. Beautiful and powerful
Alleph da Costa Gaahl hasn't been with Wardruna for a long time.
Yes saw it
einar selvik was the drummer of Gorgoroth and he is the main man of wardruna. so bam vin! Mindblown?
But he plays/played in a satanic band. And in the end it's more or less the same; extreme anti-abrahmic religions viewpoints.
You two are not ready for this!!! but have gone far beyond others...
I think its a beautiful video and song!
Please do Gorgoroth/God Seed - Prosperity and beauty (live at Wacken 2008) you won't regret it!
Agalloch - In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion
Emperor- Towards the Pantheon! Excellent song. Very very beautiful!
Just subscribed to you guys. I actually enjoy some of your comments.
Finally proper version of the proper song. However you have to know that Gaahl isn't that Satanist as he created himself when he performed in Gorgoroth. His subsequent bands Wardruna, God Seed and Gaahl's Wyrd are not about satanism but rather spiritualism, paganism, humanism, self consciousness. If you listen to Gaahl's Wyrd song called Steg then you'll see different Gaahl, I would say the real one. Watch also document created by Vice television. About the lyrics: Gaahl doesn't publish neither lyrics nor music to his works so you won't find if easily.
I have to admit something, I was watching your reactions to songs and bands I know and like, and I FREAKING love how deep you go into the lyrics. I would ABSOLUTELY grateful if you react to System Of A Down in a regular basis. I really like the way you review the songs, definetely a new suscriber, ty
Carach angren - when crows tick on windows.
- the funerary dirge of a violinist
- bitte totte mich
A black metal band you unfortunately missed out on this week but would still a pose a great reaction vid.
*They are very dark and disturbing and like to tell story's through there music(horror metal)
Pleaseeeee do Burzum Dunkelheit. It is one of, if not the most iconic black metal songs ever. You can't listen to black metal without listening to Burzum.
Exactly, I second this.
And better than Freezing Moon imo
"Suddenly life has new meaning"
Very surprised they have not done that song, considering how much it was requested and thumbed-up.
when night falls, she cloaks the world......
Here are some awesome BM tracks which you guys can review: Satyricon - Mother North Live At The Opera. Burzum - Det Som Engang Var (full version). Darkthrone - Kathaarian Life Code. Marduk - Story Of Vlad Dracul. IMMORTAL - Mighty Ravendark. Abbath - Fenrir Hunts (Live, September 2015). Mgla - Exercises In Futility V. Svarttjern - Code Human. Xasthur - Prison Of Mirrors. Ragnarok -Blackdoor Miracle. Troll - Drep De Kristne. Thorns - Stellar Master Elite. Cradle Of Filth - Funeral In Carpathia.
Old Immortal is better to start with instead of the new album.
This new album is amazing...but still I'm into oldschool stuff.
Another really good emperor song to check out is "into the infinity of thoughts"
That is their stage show. The director wanted to do a video for them but wanted it to be like what he saw in concert.
All the songs being reacted 🤘🤘🤘🤘
My dudes, you cannot end black week without doing Darkthrone and Burzum
ThatOnePerson Darkthrone is king! ....imo😂
Testament - dog faced gods
Samael - antigod
Thy art is murder - reign of darkness
Ministry - psalm 69
I’m a Satanist and in a Black Metal band I loved seeing Christians having an open mind to Black Metal
Impressive song pick!
Borknagar should've been part of black metal week as well, but I haven't seen anybody request them at all. My 1 request won't work, lol. They definitely need to be reacted to. Vintersorg and Vortex doing vocals together is incredible.
Also need Immortal, 1349, Absu, Satyricon, etc.
Infernus (the guitarist) is the main driving force behind Gorgoroth. Gaahl and the bassist at the time (King of Hell) tried to sue him over rights to the band name or something like that. Infernus is the only original band member left in Gorgoroth (unless some of the older guys have rejoined and I'm just unaware).
Hat was the best vocalist in Gorgoroth IMO, and Pest (another previous vocalist) was also a better vocalist compared to Gaahl.
Infernus also played either guitar or bass (maybe both) for the black metal band Borknagar, in the early days of the band at least.
I also believe Gaahl was in a previous black metal band called Trelldom, though I could be misremembering that.
AntiCommunist Lmao Hat is apparently Norwegian for "Hatred". Its a very goofy stage name though, even if you know what it means. Black metal stage names in general are pretty damn goofy, and they would all be better off not using them IMO. There is nothing bad ass about calling yourself "Necro Goat Perverter" or whatever the fuck. Its just silly.
Except King ov Hell wrote most of the music for Gorgoroth while he was in the band... And Gaahl was huge driving force for promoting the band because of interviews, like the one with Vice that Vin mentioned in the start here. Not discounting the work that Infernus has done, but saying that he is the main driving force, especially in the period of this song, is in my opinion, quite false.
Although, since you used the present tense "is", as apposed to "was", you're actually correct :) Got confused since we're commenting on a video about a King ov Hell/Gaahl-song.
Prefer Pest and Hat. I can't get into a lot of Gaahl Gorgoroth.
King ov Hell wrote subpar music while he was in Gorgoroth and he and Gaahl were both posers who tried to steal the band for themselves. Infernus is the one true Gorgoroth along with Hat.
You guys post so often, lol. It’s getting hard to keep up with your videos. Keep up the good work guys!
Thank you for watching this, I was the guy who said to watch this
How they can react 60 minutes to a 3 minutes Song?
Must listen to Gorgoroth in the 90s!
I love that doc vice did. I did a few art pieces with that cabin on the mountain top.
Wow, I really love this song.
What Emperor song was it you liked?
Satyricon - Mother North.plzzzzzzz
ua-cam.com/video/fagkvfyhna0/v-deo.html
Agree!
But in my opinion it is better the live version, but yes
Mother north🤘
i guess they'd love the National Norwegian Opera live version.
Yes!!! Epic-main-riff.
Moises.x The opera version is epic. Gives me goosebumps every time I watch it
really like the review you gave on this song.....this is one of my favorite songs from Gorgoroth! I really liked gaahl as the singer tbh - he had/has more of an artistic approach to his compositions. Check out Funeral Mist - metamorphosis from Funeral Mist Hekatomb Album My Favorite album of 2018 so far
It's a great record
Sori’s face is pure TNT.
Trivia: That video, is actually the “Black Mass Krakow” replica and recreation. All the lyrics of Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam album, talk about nietzschean transhumanism and the Übermensch concept, as well as some sort of nihilism.
Thanks for another insightful video! This is one of my fav BM songs of all time, musically and lyrically. To me it is about being born as a cursed human, but finding the inner flame to create a god out of yourself, something that exists in all of us.
I very much enjoyed watching the Watain - Malfeitor video as it explained a lot to someone like me who is almost not familiar at all with christian scripture. I'd love to see the same breakdown of Funeral Mist. Maybe the songs Holy Poison or Realm of Plagues. His most popular song Blessed Curse is probably too long at it's 11 minutes. ;)
Emperor - Curse You All Men. Great track by Emperor
Emperor
Song: Cosmic Keys to My Creations & Times
Gorgoroth
Song: Sign of an Open Eye
Crushing the scepter (Regaining a lost dominion)
Ritual
Peste Noire
Song: Le Mort Joyeux
Le Mort Joyeux is one of the greatest BM songs of all time. Famine is a genius.
Super interesting discussion! A song I'd be curious of what you make of it is My Dying Bride - Return of the Beautiful. Lyrics have fascinated me for 20+ years, but I'm still confused by it :)
just about to watch, wondering if Vin will want to talk to this guy :D
Carach Angren - The Funerary Dirge Of A Violinist , some good story telling black metal
wizarddragon yeeeeees! 🤘
Yesss!
Chills every time the violin crescendos with the blastbeats.
ov fire ov void yes! They're a big reason why I added a cellist to my band. Violin and cello goes so well with metal.
When crows ticks on window🤘
My friend Frank Watkins RIP :( was the bass player for Gorgoroth from 2007-2015. He was also the bass player for the Death Metal band Obituary for 20 years. He was a great guy, friend and family man and not even close to a Satanist. You have some really cool videos! Thanks
Actually... Really glad you finally got to this one and Emperor! 😉
Now if you get to Burzum (Key to the Gate, Det Som Engang Var...) and Satyricon (Mother North)...
Keep up the good work!
Song is amazing!
Marduk - Tiger I
Marduk with Legion
Shining-Vilija and Drom (video)
Hi. Vin and Sori. Gorgoroth is from Norway, lead singer sings with sometimes with Einar from Viking Folk band from Norway, band is called Wardruna. Einar was drummer Gorgoroth.
So pumped I love Gorgoroth
I DEEPLY applaud you guys for stepping out of your box and giving honest and understanding reviews of music you are unfamiliar with that reflects ideological principles that you oppose........... BUT I must jump in to correct you in saying Gaahl is a theistic satanist. I dont believe he is a satanist at all, but rather a Norse Shamanist (a derivative of the ancient religions of the Norse region pre Christianity.. Im pretty sure anyway) Also...Many of the visuals are representative of a live show. Not necessarily a telling aesthetic of the song it self. Toooooo many things to dissect with this band to put in a UA-cam comment.
But I would say if your willing to give them another shot .... Prosperity and Beauty live at Wacken 2008... Different types of lyrics that show more of their depth more so than just a call out of Christianity...
Other than that still waiting on Wolves in the Throne Room for some Wilderness oriented black metal : )
Cradle Of Filth - Cruelty Brought The Orchids
6:12
For those that want to get to the reaction already
And if you listen closely, you can hear that Gaahl says "Facing a god"
I forgot the lyrics, but yall can search on Google "genius.com" and search any lyric
Yes! I love Gorgoroth. Now you need to react to their song Prosperity and Beauty live at Wacken.
Tristania - my lost lenore
Emperor- An Elegy of Icaros, With Strength I Burn, and Inno a Satana. Mgla- Further Down the Nest, Exercises in Futilty, With Hearts Towards None 1-7, (heck, anything by Mgla!) Dissection- The Somberlain, Black Horizons, Thorns of Crimson Death(anything by Dissection also!)
Richard Wolfe Night's Blood imo def needed.
Gorgoroth...one of my fav black metal band..
I had a feeling you guys would do Deathspell Omega, or this song, I'm still waiting for Sola Fide II, but this was decent too. The lyrical analysis of Sola Fide II will be a lot of fun for you guys I think given the theological concepts.
Regarding black metal, misanthropy, and even antinatalism, as you noticed, are definitely very common subjects within black metal, along with the notion of attaining divinity, and becoming a god yourself. In the case of this song, that carving of the eye of a god is the means by which he attains his own divinity.
Since you keep bringing up Jon Nödtveidt from Dissection, who killed himself in a Satanic ritual, you should definitely look more into Dissection, particularly the song Maha Kali, which is something of his suicide note.
Funny many of these bands have some Lord of the Rings inspiration, especially in names like Gorgoroth and Burzum. Anyways I think you are not getting a complete picture if you leave out Immortal, and I would also recommend a band like Summoning (The White Tower).
Mayhem - Watchers (Official Music Video)
The visuals are very interesting too. Real walking dead footage lol. I love the contrast of speed meets droning.
fuck yeah such an awesome track
Yes!
Dismal Euphony - An Autumn Leaf In The Circles Of Time
Hello all you villagers from the great state of Maine. Rock on
What a strong community here!!!
Hail Hydra.
"So this is the devil, the satan or whoever.."
*knock knock knock*
This creeped me out, not the video
FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE - The Violation

bro.. fuck yeah.. so good
bullet for my valentine - dead to the world, or
bullet for my valentine - Your Betrayal
I want that cat photo in a shirt omg!!!!!!
I think I was the guy who left the comment about death you were talking about. If you want to research that comment it was specifically about Jon Nödtveidt, the lead singer of Dissection. Nice Peter Singer name drop by the way.
Indeed you were
Seriously, y'all gotta check out Mgła - Exercises in Futility. It's a nihilistic masterpiece, arguably the best bm record released this decade. I recommend Exercises I or Exercises V, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on anything by them.
Alternatively, Yekteniya I by Batushka would be sweet too. I think you guys would really like them.
Vertical Squid two of the finest bands today. Those albums deserve a complete listen, from first to last song, no pause.
What is name of an intro song cant find :(
This song is so good and badass
No black metal week without Darkthrone or Burzum.
Moonspell " Magdalene"
As one of the naked entangled people,, we did not have enough pig's blood. so its mostly artificial blood. The temprature inside the old Hansa brewery is rather low, so not much to get arroused ;) but we were 7 females and 4 males as a fun fact. But it is not ment sexual, but as a picture of the pits of hell. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
The video is a reenactment of a gig they did in Poland and they were band from the country for playing it
