Gorgoroth- "Cleansing Fire" Track Review

[TobakEnthusiast]

fuck yea earth shirt!

[1993blackmetal]

blackmetal hoedown lololololol

[RaduBigGun]

This album is a bullshit

[aocidicoa]

And sorry I took almost 2 years to accept the video, I just noticed it hehe.

[aocidicoa]

Good review, as usual. Keep up the great work man!!

[stewy1897]

Awesome earth shirt. I'm not a fan of gorgroth. I bet if Gaahl and King ov hell have won gorgoroth would have won this would have been a more traditional black metal album.

[heratus007]

psichobilly 

[M7mmdRegal]

All I can say is that I liked the 2:04 'clap' -music play! XD

[ChurchInAshes]

I fully agree with you here.

[thornygravy]

4:20 - 4:23 is the best thing ever! forever..

[RobbyWithNoIE]

bm hoedown....sounds like a good idea

[gardnergrendal]

its almost a black n roll album.

[666hyperionhellas]

die

[ShadowstepSH]

Totally agree about the riff lol.

[BZG07]

Dimmu is awesome. Fuck all that say there untrue. Just because they did well comercially doesnt mean there not good. There not black metal but there too good to be black metal.

[sunn0isamazing]

correction, not scandanavian black metal. more specifically, TRUE NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL  \,,/ \,,/

[birdmetal90]

man a friend sent me some press pic of them now and I gotta say that the bassist from obituary looks totally out of place in corpsepaint

[rockman22]

Fantana, favorite Gorgoroth track? Mine is Om Kristen og Jodisk Tru

[rockman22]

Fantana, favorite Gorgoroth track???? Mine is Om Kristen og Jodisk Tru.

[deejay114]

black metal hoedown lol

[ajesusgoat]

bm + good production = untr00.

fuck those guys

[theneedledrop]

Well, it's good in a BM sense. They're not Dimmu/Cradle bullshit.

[greatestXhits]

@theneedledrop i know this was posted a long time ago but i would like to say who gives a shit about tr00 dimmu/cradle are great bands they arent black metal but they are great musicians imo

[micol018]

@theneedledrop but old Dimmu CD's are pretty decent, dude don't put me down?

[sunn0isamazing]

@ajesusgoat gorgoroth was one of the original black metal bands and they are in fact TRUE!!  whats not cool is spelling it "tr00"

[LordNazgulKing]

@ajesusgoat Fuck you too. People who use words like "tr00" and "kvlt"" are posers.

[ajesusgoat]

sorry, sarcasm dosent work so well for me on the internet.

i can tell ur a black metal enthusiast, but gorgoroth sucks to my ears.

i dont use words like 'tr00' and 'kvlt', i was just trying to bm puritist impersination (lol)

[LordNazgulKing]

@ajesusgoat Your ears aren't working.

[INFECTEDCYRPTS]

burn churchs

[ClydeNut]

What other black metal have you reviewed?

[theneedledrop]

Not a ton. Check out my channel's metal playlist. :-)

[xBrutalNickx]

Great review, dude! Fuckin love Gorgoroth. :D

[KingSamForg]

Amazing Song FUCK YOU ALL!!!

[theneedledrop]

Fuck who? We all like the song. O__o

[jek21]

I disagree completely on the drums. Based on what I heard they seem to be really simplistic and boring. I think the simple boom-chuck pattern at the beginning added a great deal to the "black metal ho-down" feel.

[theneedledrop]

Yeah, the drums are guilty of contributing to that feel in the beginning, definitely. :-p

[musicinducedeuphoria]

oh my goodness my old co-worker told me about this band hahahah I had to endure SO MANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS. needless to say, I never tried to talk to the guy about music again.

[BenadrylAnnug]

Black Metal isn't my cup of tea, but I've always LOVED(L.O.V.E) the name "Gorgoroth".

Does anyone know if they're referencing Tolkein? If so <3 <3

And yeah that little diminished guitar riff at the begining. Yuck. Sounds like something one of these Tech Metal bands would play; Step and a half hammer/pull and then played again a half step down. Gross.

[theneedledrop]

For your info, they are referencing Tolkein! :-)

[theneedledrop]

Sure, but only after bassline reviews. +1

[guy12343456]

Off-topic: Gris, Burzum, Forefather and Klabautamann > Most to all the other black metal bands.

[theneedledrop]

I know Burzum, but I have no clue about the other three. Stop reminding me that I'm barely scratching the surface of black metal! :-p

[guy12343456]

Well you're off to a good start, most people don't get into the black metal you're into. It took me a long time to get used to Gorgoroth.

Would you like a brief description of the 3?

[theneedledrop]

Not necessarily a description. Just tell me what releases from them you'd recommend! :-) Thanks, dude.

[guy12343456]

Hm, okaie doke then. :)

Gris - Il Était une Forêt...

(Supposedly their best album, since every metalhead and black metal lover seems to drool all over the atmosphere this release has.)

Forefather - Engla Tocyme

Klabautamann - Merkur

There's more from each band, but those are my favorite. :)

Especially Merkur.

[theneedledrop]

I lot of people are down about the whole Gaahl thing. I thought more peeps would be excited for the return of Pest. :-p

[sol319]

totally agree on the first riff lol, but the rest of the song was pretty awsome

[theneedledrop]

Totally!

[guy12343456]

Satan Prometheus is a better track, to be honest.

Cleansing Fire was one of the decent, just there type of songs.

[theneedledrop]

True. There are stronger tracks on here. I wish I had a physical copy for an album review. :-(

[HamburgerMartyr]

ooh the satan

[theneedledrop]

Where!!? Where!?!?

[PhillipThunderGrunge]

Woohoo!!

YoureWrongImRight + Theneedledrop?

FUH GEDDA BOUT IT!!

I hope i can show up on monday on BlogTV.. :(

[theneedledrop]

Me too! It wouldn't be the same without you! :-)

[MrAushwitz]

you sound and look like a faggot.just like those gorgoroth fags! Earth are shit aswell.

[metalfish24]

Get a fucking life man.....

[theneedledrop]

This is the best comment I've ever read. You must be a genius!

[NotGabeNewell]

I like Amesoeurs. What other bm would I like ?

[OldUnkieAl]

I'd try Wolves in the Throne Room, probably one of the most accessible bm bands IMO.

[theneedledrop]

I'd try out some early Mayhem. Look up Emperor, too! :-)

[Alex703rockstar]

I just can't seem to get into black metal, but good review.

But the album does not need such a pretentious title. Meh, I guess that just happens with metal a lot.

[pigfaceddog]

Obituary 4TW!!!

Gorgoroth BABY!!!

9.8/10

[theneedledrop]

Hahahah! Glad you dug it! :-)

[od666666]

Lets go burn some churchs!!

[theneedledrop]

Will you bring the gas or the matches?

[od666666]

ill bring the fire.

[jumblejunkiemusic]

haha i felt like i watched my review! We definitely think the same on this one.

hahaha i like the intro!

[theneedledrop]

:-p I still think it sounds like a BM hoedown. We need some straw hats w/leather studs! Lulz.

[rex3453]

Do you only do reviews of recently released albums or do you also do past albums and the such?

[theneedledrop]

I like to keep it recent. Sometimes people ask me to track review old stuff, but I usually like to keep it new.

[JGCSOUND]

I CAN SMELL THE DECAYING FLESH

[theneedledrop]

Lulz.

[shrineofmadlaughter]

lol... play the intro into a western style bar and i bet some coboys will still dance to it :D

yee haaa! black metal ho down partna!

or better yet, infernus and pest in a cowboy suit doing a ho down XD

[theneedledrop]

I'd die laughing.

[HardToWatchReviews]

Hmmm .. yeah, once you get past that terrible intro, it turns into a not half bad track. Had all kinds of evil sounding drums and guitars being tortured. I enjoyed all the different tempos and stuff. Could have stretched the music out a bit and explored the sound more. Had some good ideas. Song was a little short. Vocals didn't bug me.

[theneedledrop]

The vocals were pretty good despite how clean they felt at points. It was a short track, and that's one of the reasons I picked it. It's a straightforward taste of what you're liable to get if you listen to this LP.

[fluffthebunny]

Your acronym for Black Metal is BM? Ouch, Gorgoroth fans are gonna be piiiiiiissed.

[shrineofmadlaughter]

lol, im not pissed...

[fluffthebunny]

Correction: Gorgoroth fans that are not fond of Anthony's reviews. :)

[theneedledrop]

I await their hellstorm! :-p

[Thesamofsam]

EARTH!

[theneedledrop]

EARRRRRRRRRRRRRTH!

[ThePrimusGuy]

lol hoe down.

[Yaksniffer]

Daaaaaaaamn that was some clean production. Personally I think this song could have used some dirtiness in the production, I think it would have made it a bit better.

I miss Gaahl :-(

[adramatictheme]

Yeah, Gaahl is the shit, but i think he's busy with his fashion line, ha.

Having said that, this is a great album.

lmao at black metal ho down, I can really touch what you're saying.

[theneedledrop]

He has his own fashion line? Woahz.

[sinistermoon]

BLACKMETAL HO DOWN!

[theneedledrop]

Hell yeah!

[NintendoDevil]

There where soooooo many better songs on this album. booooooo

[theneedledrop]

Oh this one was pretty decent! :-p
