Under The Sign of Hell was for me their absolute masterpiece, the riffs, the atmosphere, the vocals, everything was perfect

[@collt0916]

Absolutely

[@matthewblackwood4704]

Pest is the best vocalist they ever had and a blast to hang out with. I helped carry him out of the woods one time when he was passed out drunk. One of many great times with Pest. The good ol days...

[@Anonyomus]

A biased guy trying to appeal to the edgy black metal purists by praising the albums they all love without much of explaining and bashing the stuff the purists hate. Commentary is basically "It's just the best/shit". It's pretty ironical how Black metal fans are listening to music which message is not being the sheep, but they are the biggest sheep herd as a community, kissing each other's asses and acting like they know what is good and bad. And top of all that, they call the people they deem unworthy, as posers. Calling Gaahl a poser? Go try that in front of his face. And I've met Gaahl and he's a very friendly dude and I'd never go fuck around with him like that. He's also good friends with all the artists you like as he's part of Norwegian Black Metal circles and other well-known BM musicians support him, like Emperor'd Faust, members of Mayhem etc. Are they posers too? Gaahl is, you like it or not, a prominent figure in BM scene and excellent singer. A poser making a video where he's calling others posers. Who would've guessed.

[@zephyrous9738]

Hat means Hate in Norwegian yes he could called himself Hate but I think he decided because Hat is in his native language. Hat is my favorite vocalist of Gorgoroth and the best for me.

[@DownFallNetWork]

thanks for the info

[@zephyrous9738]

You're always welcome \m/

[@anotherpersondude4024]

Hat also means hate in Swedish if you didn’t know. Scandinavian myself and I love this band.

[@dennisr.6023]

For me it's easily Pest , Hat sounds a bit annoying in the 1st album because he isn't as loud as I would of wanted his vocals to be

[@ToaGatanuva]

It's funny that not many people catch on to that

[@alexandermeza5530]

seriously PEST was the best vocalist this band ever had. under the sign of hell.

[@unessimmich4128]

The best vocalist black Metal ever had

[@matthewblackwood4704]

True... Pest was a lot of fun to hang out with also.

[@narcissus79]

I still like Atterigners vocals though. Very different. Almost blackened death metal styled. But yes, Pest is the best

[@PILULE-ow9sk]

The rites of infernal invcation got the craziest pitch screams I've heard so far

[@MelodeathxTed]

I love how you open up with Gorgoroth's best song.

[@Hammerhead547]

The funny thing is that when I listen to King Diamond talk about being a satanist I take him seriously because he sounds like he actually knows what he's talking about and understands the concept of it, when I listen to Ghaal talking about it I feel like I'm listening too the obnoxious goth kid "satanists" that I went to high school with in the late 90's who just said shit like that to try and get a rise out of people and seem "intimidating" when they were really just sad losers with low self esteem who no one really liked because they were assholes.

[@diegoveloso3rd]

I actually had a good chuckle out of gaahl when i first watched that scene. I sort of got the feeling he was that type of person who tajes himself too seriously

[@livingdeadfrank671]

When you're talking about the ''new'' vocalist, you're showing images of Hoest from Taake doing live vocals for them. I know because I was there in France for their show at Hellfest 2014. Good video, Gorgoroth are the best from Norway, with Emperor and Immortal completing my top 3. Cheers !

[@KyOte13]

Smh…Facts are that Gaahl is a powerful front man & unique vocalist who took the band to a different level. Not sure how you can call him a “poser” in the same video you describe the crimes that make him t he real deal. He’s an animal

[@ValknutGaming]

Atterigner and Hoest are two different people. Hoest is the live vocalist, Atterigner sings in the albums only, cause he's stuck in Serbia with Tupac.

[@blo1able]

SO happy you're doing these again

[@AndrewMarloweTV]

anothwer band you should look into for a retro is darkened nocturnal slaughtercult

[@masteryourmind2760]

Crushing the scepter is my favorite song of Gorgoroth. It brought my right away to BM at the age of 13.

[@mepatrik1]

Awesome video, thanks! Looking forward to see more. I agree with you in almost everything you said. The first 3 albums are masterpieces.

[@DownFallNetWork]

thanks

[@MetalKeith666]

Gorgoroth first albums are amazing, not overrated

[@MetalKeith666]

@Vekhet Akhevel yes my mistake

[@MaDaburazGmaz]

The begining of the vid is fukn hillarious

[@holysmoke8439]

Always loved the the early stuff

[@NightmareCrab]

this channel is a goldmine

[@ComradePingu]

Saying Ad Majorem is a bad album might legitimately be the most deranged take I’ve ever heard. It’s easily in my top 3 Gorgoroth albums and is a gem in the black metal genre. Track for track, it’s one of the heaviest albums in black metal, period. It’s a fucking unhinged sound.

[@pawspawlisko4025]

Kickass episode :D

[@cfs7338]

Cool video, but you need to do some more research. Pest was kicked because he refused doing a scheduled tour, and you show pictures of Hoest, who sings live for Gorgoroth while talking about Atterigner. But again.. great video. I agree with you for the most part

[@DownFallNetWork]

Thanks for pointing that out, hopefully we can correct that in the future

[@hailblackdragon]

@@DownFallNetWork goes to show who’s the real poser, poser😆

[@baalgrath7933]

This comes off as a retrospective from an outsider and so I feel patronized

[@shrekchrist2857]

Thank you for showing us Gaahls daily routine, appreciated it.

[@brendenm9392]

Love the story time about our protagonist Infernus. Pentagram rules.

[@Skyggnast]

Or maybe, just maybe that's how Gaahl actually is

[@AndrewMarloweTV]

they did some awesome songs with ghaal though like a world to win and sign of an open eye

[@AndrewMarloweTV]

my all time favorite is their debut, Pentagram

[@unessimmich4128]

Mine too hail Pentagram

[@Sergio-nb4hj]

i love that album but their demo A sorcery written in blood is even better imo

[@steliost.3257]

Personally I find masterpieces in each era of gorgoroth. Like Gorgoroth, Måneskyggens slave, Prosperity and beauty , Rebirth.. You have an issue with Ghaal haha!

[@wheeljack0]

Under a sign of hell is my favorite of there albums as well

[@narcissus79]

I prefer Destroyer

[@morbidblood98]

Great documentary

[@DownFallNetWork]

thanks

[@venusdragojlovic4227]

Hey man, do you find it strange that they have yet to perform a single song from their new album? Also what are your thoughts on hoest being a live member?

[@MrShinTensei]

That intro was bomb slaps

[@hellionsentinel]

The instrumental on Pentagram kicks ass!

[@somguy5035]

there's a few songs in their earlier years that have a clanky drum sound that i just love it sounds like he's hitting a muted trashcan lid and its fantastic anyway infernus is a maestro if gaahl and king would have just went with his writing maybe that era would have been better i mention gorgoroth to people and the second they start talking you can tell they don't know anything except the gaahl era when quantos came out it had to be the all-time comeback album along with varg's belus those two albums marked returns of sounds i never expected to hear again in my lifetime anyway great channel im going to watch the sargiest video now

[@JonnyNorth]

Although I do understand the reason for distaste on Gaahl, I will stand on the side of Twilight & Glorium being solid albums. And I actually did not like Quontos! Otherwise I agree with mostly everything else.

[@gamingforfun9000]

I actually enjoyed Incipit Satan a lot. Last record was kick ass and unlike many i actually enjoyed the vocals Haha yeah, i dont know if Gaahl just puts an act when on camera lol or maybe he is always like that.

[@lordnorthumberland277]

Antichrist was originally supposed to be a fully fleshed-out 8-track album according to Hat in an old metal magazine, but considering how he suddenly departed during the album's production, it was cut down in an impromptu way. Something tells me Hat's disappearance has something to do with creative differences with Infernus (the latter has admitted in interviews that he's hard to work with) and just personal reasons that many still speculate about to this day. The same thing happened with Pest during the production of Destroyer. Considering how Pest would be fired in 2012 when he was doing a poor job of keeping up with touring schedules and was replaced by Hoest, I think that might have been the reason why he left in 1997 during Destroyer's production. Needless to say, I think him coming back for Quantos possunt was an amazing comeback. I have mixed opinions on Gaahl (he's not nearly as awful as King), I think Incipit Satan, A World to Win and Unchain My Heart are great and An Excerpt of X has grown on me over the years. The rest of it is either complete garbage or instantly forgettable. I appreciate the editing at 10:54, Twilight of the Idols is really just bad, especially by Gorgoroth standards.

[@Phillisteum]

Amazing fist minute!!! X''''D

[@MiniAdler13]

the most recent album has Hoest from Taake on vocals

[@mikepastor.k6233]

Have you ever done Setherial'. Or are they too obscure?

[@mmjdotdk]

Can you do a review of Dissections albums?

[@DownFallNetWork]

i have good news and bad news, good news is that i will do them for sure, bad news is that i will either do the dissection either a year or two from now

[@mmjdotdk]

DownFall NetWork Whyyyyyyyyyy??? I'm sorry. Dissection is litterally my favorite band next to Death. What is your opinion on Dissections music? I love all of there albums! They are all classics. Anyways good channel and great videos!

[@mmjdotdk]

Probably one of my favorite channels on KZbin! Keep up the AMAZING work!

[@DownFallNetWork]

I have to rely on a schedule that consists of a verity of quality of discogs, length of discogs, and my opinions on the band. If i did nothing but bands I love it would be boring as hell. Also i do about 10 black metal bands every year during the winter. I randomly selected about 10 bands using some verity and Dissection wasn't chosen. The first two albums are classic especially the second one, but the last one is not that good.

[@mmjdotdk]

DownFall NetWork I really like the last one two. Incredible album! They are all (somewhat) equal in my opinion. The second one is best! Have a great day, and Keep up the good work!

[@swagassr4pistn1gg4mane]

[@mmaking8664]

Taake retrospective and MGLA retrospective please !

[@happymonkeyfish]

my ex once showed me that clip of Gaahl saying "............................................................................................. satan" and that was my exact reaction to the clip

[@blackheavyblans]

The first black metal song I ever heard was Rebirth, and I fell in love instant! The whole album is a masterpiece. The atmosphere, vocals, and Infernus's riffs was so amazing! Now I mostly listen to black metal daily, thanks for Gorgoroth 🤘My favourite song is Krig 2011 version. The atmosphere, coldness and how it sounds perfect as listened at winter. It also reminds me of old Finnish children song called ''Mörri-Möykky'' which lyrics tells about trolls and nature.

[@chaosapiant]

This video is worth it alone for the dunk on Gaahl in the beginning. :D

[@Walmut]

I get the feeling maker of this video has no idea what hes talkin about. Terrible breakdown of the band

Say what you want about Gaahl and King but "ad majorem sathanas gloriam" was a great album. Much better than the boring albums that Infernus made afterwards. Saying that Gorgoroth is Of course Infernus band

[@JohnDoe-gx2ii]

I agree with this But I do looks their whole discography But the earlier stuff is the best and I love the new one

[@n.a31214]

Their latest album had the weakest vocals but some of their strongest music.

[@petercrushingc]

Thumbs up! Under The sign of hell, is absolutely one of my favorite black metal albums! So great vocals. Pest was and looks insane, one of the amazing vocalists of black metal. But for Gaahl, in my opinon, he should have stayed with the band Trelldom, he was so amazing with this band, one of my fave black metal bands in that time i admit, and sounded so much more emotional and sorrowfull, the screams and so on. He had his own identity with that band, amazing voice there, one of the best. But what happened after that, he screwed up. Didn´t sound like him self anymore. He just didn´t fit with Gorgoroth! Not his style.

[@SolfieriBatz]

Man, i understand you, but... for me, Incipt Satan is a fucking album! i like the vocals of Gaahl, with that 'noises', 'effects'.

and the ghaal ov hell era was great music but its sad that they hijacked the band and infernurnis wasnt really writing the music

[@nylonpython]

Gorgoroths public image has been entirely consumed by Gaahl being Black Metal's largest Edgelord. Even post Gaahl/King being kicked out of the band Infernus is always going to have that edgy shadow looming over him.
