Acoustic Wooden instrumentS (drums!) That sound like thatwooden box you hit in your KindergarTen muSIc Class (see "Revelations oF Doom")is Used aS drums. I don't "Get" it. But it sounds cool and is differeNt.

5 out of 5 stars Under the Sign of Hell.......2005-11-28

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.

5 out of 5 stars Pure demonic blasphemy..........2005-08-09

I love it. The production (Like Destroyer) is so uncompromising and brutal, and the voices are tormented and hectic, along with the buzzsaw, hoarse, guitars that Gorgoroth are famous for. Pest's vocals are quite possibly the second best I've heard (with Gaahl tying with Attila Csihar as the first- let's not get into the whole Attila vs. Dead argument, wrong band) but the drums are really what made this album. They are distorted a bit, high in the mix, and recorded in a garage, it seems, which gives them a chugging along sound, a very crunchy, percussive sound, which only benefits this album. This album uses melody where it's needed, and the melody isn't minimalist melody either; it's just demonic melody. Melody you can imagine Gorgoroth doing.

Aside from that, all I have to say is WHY ARE YOU STILL READING MY REVIEW??? GO GET THIS PIECE OF PURE NORWEGIAN SLAUGHTER ALREADY!!!!

3 out of 5 stars Real Black MEtal.......2005-04-02

First off, I take back what I wrote about another Gorgoroth cd. This really is not that bad. The vocals are the great Black MEtal growls, drums crashing and chugging, and the guitars great as always. I only had a problem with two things on this cd. On the first two songs the drumming just sounds like a train zooming down a track, it sounds unatural and fake. Secondly, on one track there is this weird opera guy singing, just weirded me out. Great cd, don't listen to me, just buy it.

4 out of 5 stars Dirty and gritty True Norwegan Black Metal.......2005-01-04

Gorgoroth write a type of Black Metal that is all their own. Some times its fast, some times its slow, but it's always brutal and often catchy.

The mixing on this album is very unique, but it really works in their favor. For the most part, the vocals are mixed down, but still audible and totally demonic (the vocals are one of my favorite aspects of this album, actually). On the first two songs, the drums are mixed way up, but it gives them a very brutal, rythmic sound. The guitar sound is typical Gorgoroth: crusty and heavy.

Some stand out songs are, of course, the first two songs, 'Revelation of Doom' and 'Krig'. 'Brofetens Upenbaring' and 'the Devil is Calling' are two other key songs, with 'the Devil is Calling' being one of the best songs on the whole album. Only one song on this album isn't a song (Bostludium), but that still leaves 8 tracks of pure Black Metal bliss.

This album is a must have for any fan of real Norwegan Black Metal. Dark, gritty and evil as all Hell.
