Free Music Review: Hard one to rate.
Hit: 3 Stars
Overall this CD was average. The LP begins with the track "Procreating Satan". This is an extraordinary track that immediately hurls you into another world full of thriving malevolence and hypnotic vocal screaming that provokes your wicked inner fantasies to surface themselves for but only a minute until the song draws its climatic conclusion. This track is truly amazing.
Then we have the second track, "Proclaiming Mercy-Damaging Instinct of Man" which is pretty heavy and well-executed. The only problem I had with it is that it gets a bit repetitious. It was good, nonetheless.
The next track on the list is "Exit-Through Carved Stones". This song is definitely more on the mediocre side. The vocal lines are a little awkwardly arranged also, for every line or two an instrumental break is issued- and then the same words are repeated after the instrumental break has finished. The song is also a bit drawn out. This track definitely gives off a great feel to it, though, despite the flaws in lyrical composition and length. It almost makes you feel as if you are standing in the midst of an open cemetery, your leg submerged by fog, while above you there is nothing but a completely gray colored sky. I give them props for creating such a wonderful atmosphere.
The next song on the track listing is "Teeth Grinding". For the most part, I really dislike this song. Throughout the entire thing, Gaahl only speaks different lines...and it sounds as if he is attempting to make his voice sound deeper for a bunch of vulnerable kindergarteners sitting around him in a circle, waiting for him to finish reading a "scary" Halloween story.
Following "Teeth Grinding" there is "Forces of Satan Storms". This track is pretty good in all. The only problem was that it sounds a bit similar to a few previous tracks. In spite of this fault though, the instrumental breaks were very well done.
The sixth song on this CD is "Blod Og Minne". Again, this track is fair but sounds a bit too similar to previous tracks, especially the track directly prior to it, "Forces of Satan Storms".
Next on the list, we have the song "Of Ice and Movement", which basically just sounds like one fast guitar riff that repeats a million times while Gaahl yells over it. I'm definitely not a fan of this song.
Subsequent to "Of Ice and Movement", there is the last track, "Domine in Virtute Tua Laetabitur Rex". This song is truly interesting- as it gives the listener a completely different experience in musical sound. It does not follow in the severe heaviness of the rest of the album, and is nothing that you'd expect to hear as a closer from Gorgoroth. Still, though, I found it a pretty unique way to end the album, despite the fact that it seems a bit out of place.
This album wasn't bad...but it wasn't great either. Some highlights were definitely the different, eerie atmospheres that Gorgoroth creates for the listener and the great technique of the instrumentalists. The album did have its downfalls though, such as having too many songs sound alike and being a bit monotonous in areas. I'd probably only suggest this to die-hard black metal fans, overall.
