The obvious is well, that this is one of the most popular Gorgoroth releases to date. Its of a good length, around 24 minutes for six songs, it has atmosphere and typical black metal guitars, and it has a decent, if not wonderful arrangement of clean vocals on the song, Gorgoroth. When you sit down and listen to this album, its an instant classic, no one can really say it isn't nor that it wasn't one of the most influential albums in the mid 90's that today still sets a harmonic benchmark for what Black Metal is today. The line up is currently Hat, Infernus, and Frost (of 1349 and Satyricon.), in which Infernus also does the bass tracks for this album. That's some what of a mixed blessing, but for the better, its one of the smartest things they could have done. Infernus does a good job on both the Bass and Guitar, blending them just right and getting the exact feel that should be there. Hat does the vocals perfectly, and Frost adds his trademark drum technique to the sound of the band over all on this album.
For the average listener, this is the album to get if you want to listen to some of the best material that they are released in their career, I wont lie to you? but I do like almost everything they have done, but this album surely blows everything away. The only complaint I really have about it is the length, its slightly short or their aren't enough songs on the album. There is so much you can do with only six songs, it tends to get bland after a while I must admit.
Recommendations! Sorg, Possessed By Satan , Gorgoroth.

Awesome album, the length doesnt bother me, raw black metal like this can get a bit headachy when its too drawn out. Gorgoroth the song is just beautiful. classic album.
