Gorgoroth Twilight Of The Idols (Full Album)

Twilight of the Idols (In Conspiracy with Satan) is the sixth album by Norwegian black metal band Gorgoroth. It was released on 21 July 2003 by Nuclear Blast, and reissued in 2006 by Back on Black Records.
This was the first album on which Infernus was not the main songwriter. Instead, the music for this album was composed by bassist King ov Hell and drummer Kvitrafn. The album cover depicted a burning church, but due to the ensuing controversy, some copies of the album featured a picture of the band members instead.

Gaahl era is the best to me, not that I dont like the rest (because I do), but Gaahl brought a mysterious weirdness to the band that drew me in further to black metal of all kinds, in addition to opening doors like traditional Scandinavian folk music and a heightened interest in the intellectual side of this genre. Just my two cents, for what it's worth. Although the new live stuff with Hoest is pretty awesome, too.

@S.M.B Not really, at least not that I know of, kinda one reason why Gorgoroth is popular in the genre, cause its unique. Sometimes bm gets closer to dissonant/heavy rock but I don't think it's really a thing for bands. Gaahls has other bands though, like Trelldom and Gaahls Wyrd that both tends to be more scandinavian folk/rock but with still bm parts as well.

Today I printed this album's cover on a T-shirt for a customer at work! I have no idea who it might be, but that person surely has amazing music tastes. Not even a Black Metal fan like me ever heard of this Gorgoroth album in particular, so I got very surprised!

[@juansakura2868]

I have always been a metalhead, but when i was fool and young, i uses to say tha "black metal" aint music, juat noise. I even could not distinguish Black metal from Death metal, both seemed disgusting and just noise...now time has past, grown older and deeper and i now can really aprecciate this shit. This album is so good, diabolic, heavy fucking riffs, great drumming, gaahls voice is just perfecto, loved every second of it. Every time i listen to it, it gets better. It seems that life takes time. What you diddnt lile or understood as a youngfelah, gets you when you grow up. Hail satan and metal.

I know and heard hundeds of bands and thousands of albums, and still haven't found anything equally evil sounding, same goes for Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam.
