Gorgoroth Twilight Of The Idols (In Conspiricy With Satan) CD

 Original
This is a very consistent, fast and original sounding album. The distortion on the guitars, and, well, lets face it, everything else, gives it a beautifully twisted sound. The guitar riffs are in a very late 80s Metallica fashion, yet still maintaining the traditional black metal sound. All in all this is at least an entertaining album. Certianly one that has been revolving in my player since its release.

 Relatively Mundane and Boring Album
I have listened to this album over and over attempting to let it grow on me, but the album fails to do so. Nothing on this album really appeals to me, there are practically no memorable hooks or riffs to be found. The first track is just an annoying mess. The only decent track on the album is "Forces of Satan Storms". The rest are simply boring. I would recommend Gorgoroth's last album "Incipit Satan", even with all the irritating sound and synth effects.

 Very Solid Black Metal Album
Heard about these guys and picked up this album as my first Gorgoroth purchase. Didn't do too much for me the first listen, but grew on me by the 2nd, and now, I'm a fan of the band and this album i consider one of the better releases in the last 3-4 years. I will say that i'm not a huge fan of scandinavian Black Metal, but these guys go for a more stripped down, less orchestarted sound than what i've heard from say, Cradle Of Filth (before the 04 album), Dimmu Borgir, or others. Nice guitar work hooks me in, and creates a gloomy, not unpleasant vibe. Don't expect a bunch of guitar solos tho, didn't hear any of that, but it didn't seem to miss that aspect, where some metal albums do. I'm anxious to get their earlier albums as this one was a winner. Not absolutely stellar, but solid as, well, metal, no filler tracks, no dissapointments, worth your time and money. I don't feel like writing reviews for bands that suck, or have filler tracks, or who've been reviewd 100 times. So far no-one else reviewed this underrated gem, what a pity. Buy this, and Exhumed's "Anatomy is Destiny" and thank me later, best, most underappreciated releases of 2003 i've heard.
