Gorgoroth: Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam
review by ©Scarlet Metal & www.whoresofchaos.com
January 10, 2007

With this 2006 release, the members of Gorgoroth achieved the near impossible which was to
successfully conjure and spew forth something as blakk as each of their own original essence.
Regardless of the outcome of the music awards, Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam is and will
remain a pivotal work of extreme metal excellence.

‘Wound Upon Wound’ evokes images of extreme carnage as it spirals forth with guitars in full hyperspeed fueled by the ultrabrutal percussion of a futuristic multibladed death machine.
One realizes there’s no escape as the old school groove of the superblakk ectoplasm that is
‘Carving A Giant’ seeps under the door along with the ultimate aural weapon:
He who is now in total command of that which once possessed him.
‘God Seed’ initiates the frenzied spinning blakk cyclone into which the Idols disappear.
‘Sign of an Open Eye’ presages the apocalyptic anticosmic winds as they swirl into the chaos
of ‘White Seed’.‘Exit’ then opens the portal through which ‘Untamed Forces’
are unleashed upon the masses, ushering in a dark new age of ‘Prosperity and Beauty’.
