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.

It's funny that not many people catch on to that

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.

seriously PEST was the best vocalist this band ever had. under the sign of hell.

I love how you open up with Gorgoroth's best song.

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 !

anothwer band you should look into for a retro is darkened nocturnal slaughtercult

Crushing the scepter is my favorite song of Gorgoroth. It brought my right away to BM at the age of 13.

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

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.

this channel is a goldmine

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.

This comes off as a retrospective from an outsider and so I feel patronized

Always loved the the early stuff

The begining of the vid is fukn hillarious

Have you ever done Setherial'. Or are they too obscure?

Kickass episode :D

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?

Personally I find masterpieces in each era of gorgoroth. Like Gorgoroth, Måneskyggens slave, Prosperity and beauty , Rebirth.. You have an issue with Ghaal haha!

Thank you for showing us Gaahls daily routine, appreciated it.

Incipit Satan is my favorite Gorg album. It's not their classic stuff, but I love the production and riffage.

Or maybe, just maybe that's how Gaahl actually is

This video is worth it alone for the dunk on Gaahl in the beginning. :D

they did some awesome songs with ghaal though like a world to win and sign of an open eye

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.

Love the story time about our protagonist Infernus. Pentagram rules.

LOL at 2:37 . Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam is NOT one of the worst Black Metal albums. Not by a long shot. IDK why everybody bashes it.

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.

my ex once showed me that clip of Gaahl saying "............................................................................................. satan" and that was my exact reaction to the clip

Song of the intro?

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

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.

That intro was bomb slaps

Sorry why you think gaahl is poser?

The instrumentals are great. You know shit

Twilight of the idols is for sure the best Gorgoroth album and one of the best black metal album overall .

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.

Don't let posers write your albums Infernus approves

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

Hoest is a terrific vocalist

Their latest album had the weakest vocals but some of their strongest music.

I agree with this But I do looks their whole discography But the earlier stuff is the best and I love the new one
