Gorgoroth is one of my favorite black metal bands of all time. (2nd to Darkthrone) If you look online, or are familiar with Gorgoroth, you know they have had some turbulent times in the last few years, but that doesn't detract from their hard lined straight forward demonic black metal they have produced in the past.
Gorgorth has always provided me with what I truly like in black metal- fast aggressiveness with harsh vocals that are in both English & Norwegian. Granted the lyrics are based on their satanic ideology, but what else is black metal supposed to be about? Destroyer is probably my favorite Gorgoroth album, with heavy laden guitar works and fast blast beats that overpower you and make you want to burn down a church. 8 tracks of pure evil with vocals from Gaahl, who seems to be a very interesting yet jacked up fellow, that are some of the best in black metal history.
If you like metal, and not that crappy lame ass new metal with losers that decide to sing their chorus', then this is a must have for all enthusiasts. Seriously, I am a big fan of all genres of music, and if I had only 3 black metal albums that I could listen to, for the rest of my life, this would be one of them. Buy it, download it, steal from someone you know, or if you aren't technologically proficient, have someone tape it off for you to play in your walkman.
Official Score- 4/5
