Gorgoroth - Incipit Satan
The suicide of former drummer Grim seems to have affected this band quite a bit. This is not the Gorgoroth that I remember. If one word can describe the new sound, it is “heavy.” On most, if not all, of their previous releases, Gorgoroth had the rather thin, traditionally noisy guitar sound that exemplified the post-Darkthrone era of raw, underproduced Black Fucking Metal. Incipit Satan sees the guitars getting thicker and deeper, adding that infamous “Sunlight” sound to the mix as well. If “heavy” describes the sound, then “dark” describes the music. Things have slowed down, gotten heavy, Industrial/Dark Ambient elements have started creeping in, and the songs are much, much more mature than ever before. This album has more experimentation on it than all of the previous Gorgoroth albums combined. Shit, there is even the equivalent of a Goth Rock song on here! Granted, there are still faster segments on this CD, but nowhere near what albums such as Antichrist or Destroyer… were.
