Gorgoroth, meaning “land of great despair”, is a black metal band, named after the dark plains of Mordor in J.R.R.Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Led by guitarist Infernus (a.k.a. Roger Tiegs), it emerged in 1992 as a trio including vocalist Hat (‘Hate’ in Norwegian) and drummer Goat Pervertor.
The band, based in Hyllestad, debuted on April 28th 1993 with a demo, entitled ’A Sorcery Written In Blood’, featuring two tracks ‘Sexual Bloodgargling’ and ‘(Under) The Pagan Megalith’ preceded by the intro ‘Gathered At Blåkulla’, actually a minute plus of incoherent screaming. A further cassette, simply entitled ’Promo’94’, captured two more songs ‘Katharinas Bortgang’ and ‘Maaneskuggens Slave’. The opening 1994 ’Pentagram’ album, recorded at Grieghallen Studios with producer Pytten (a.k.a. Eirik Hundvin) for French label Embassy Productions, featured Emperor’s Samoth (a.k.a. Tomas Thormodsæter Haugen) on bass, due to the group’s original bassist Kjetter being imprisoned for his involvement in the burning of the 800 year old church Skjold Stavkirke.
A deliberate absence of lyrics, artwork and self-aggrandising promotion neatly served to focus purely on the musical content. The antecedent demo tracks all benefited from a re-cut whilst ‘Sexual Bloodgargling’ would be re-recorded under a revised title of ‘Ritual’. ’Pentagram’ gave no quarter, Gorgoroth’s grim and disciplined machinations unfettered by keyboards, atmospherics, effects. Further contributions also came from Satyricon drummer Frost (a.k.a. Kjetil Haraldstad). Samoth himself was imprisoned for church burning and was duly replaced by Storm.

@aikanaro_sauron - You cant know what I had seen or faced, nazi fagot. You and your gay bald friends are bunch of losers and too big cunts to fight one on one. Fact that you use expressions like „lol“ are enough to prove that you are Mommy's little hacker who dont know what the hell is he talking about. Next time you dare to call me ignorant, make some research about satanism, I will not teach you how satan is older then Christianity and how there are others, older religions then Christianity (even the jews, eh? You should know that, mommy`s nazi). Why dont you just fuck off from this page, all the members of Gorgoroth would probably punch the shit out of you. And also, the fact is that MOST of skinheads, actually are CHRISTIANS, and proud of it, so fuck off scum.

@EvilKaramarko: the fact that "Homosexual sex is also act of physical and mental satisfaction" have nothing to do with what i have said about the reproductive function of a heteroxesual sex. in the human society the main function of sex is a pleasure, not reproduction ― this is the fact. "Those skinheads fight 10 on 1" you've neither ever clashed with such situations, nor even seen this with your own eyes, haven't you? "And satanism have nothing to do with christians" LOLWHAT? like try to read the Bible, or Wikipedia, at least. seriously, that was an epitome of ignorance. facepalm.jpg

@PiecesOfQuiet: "How exactly could the belief in the superiority of one group not lead to the belief in the inferiority of another group" easily. white nation is superior at the extended front of cultural and scientific activities, whereas, for example, niggers are good in sport disciplines, like jumping, running, etc. it's not "a belief in the inferiority of another group", but a confidence of a white nation's supremacy of mental and physical development. same to homophobia and heterosexism: if it bears a relation to black metal at all, than i believe it would rather be heterosexism, over an "unreasoned fear and antipathy". "...so many self-proclaimed anti-Christians..." those so-called anti-Christians simply are the satanic kiddies, an inseparable part of Christianity.
