About
Gorgoroth, Norwegian black metal pioneers from Bergen since 1992.
16 vinyl releases including early 90s raw black metal classics; rare original under the sign of hell pressing reaches high prices.
Founded by Infernus on guitars, vocals and bass, Gorgoroth quickly established a notorious presence in the black metal underground. Early albums like "Pentagram" (1994) and "Antichrist" (1996) featured collaborations with notable Norwegian metal musicians and set the tone for relentless black metal with minimalist production. The band underwent several lineup changes, including vocalists Hat, Pest, and Gaahl, and drummers Goatpervertor and Frost.
Over the years, Gorgoroth’s sound evolved but remained linked to its satanic and dark aesthetic. Releases such as "Destroyer" (1998) and "Instinctus Bestialis" (2015) show both a fierce and sometimes experimental approach.
