Which Gorgoroth? Infernus' band Gorgoroth or God Seed from Gaahl and King?
Is anyone in to them? They are a pretty big name in the BM scene, but I never found them to be that interesting. Of the prebreakup albums I'd say Twilight of the Idols would be my favourite. And I associate Gorgoroth with Gaahl, probably due to the Sam Dunn doc, the Vice doc and a (hilarious) episode on a Dutch 'scary' show.
I've seen both versions live after the breakup and I'd give the edge to God Seed. Gaahl was one menacing guy, his screams were very impressive. I recently bought God Seeds debut and it's pretty good and my favourite 'Gorgoroth' album.

nothing can top Pentagram for me. Mandatory black metal.
ICP
Love the Amazing Jeckel Brothers, Great Milenko, and Hells Pit. Rap is definitely not my thing so I'm not sure why I like these so much but I do. The rest of their catalog is trash but these are gems in the rough for me. Friend of mine told me the Milenko album was funny so I checked it out and loved it. I blame him for this.Brian_FETO

Infernus. I don't think the Gaahl era is good at all
Then again I thought the last Gorgoroth album sucked too. That's largely due to the vocalist though, who doesn't even seem to play shows with them
Pentagram, Antichrist, Under The Sign Of Hell, and Quantos are absolutely killer.
Ritual is the one of the most criminally overlooked black metal tracks, absolute evil

I remember liking KMK. Terrible rappers, but great production.
ICP is a clusterfuck of bad ideas and horrible lyrics, but they do have some raw strengths as rappers, mostly in their delivery which is....raw? Terrible group but oddly respectable due to their sincerity.
I'm a Hip Hop Head, so yeah. I don't mind if people like them, but b their music sucks.
Also, Juggalos are absolutely disgusting group of people. Sorry.
Yea I didn't know anything about Juggalos until after I got into their music. Then I find out the hatchet thing I kept seeing on rear car windows meant dirty Fago drinkers... That kind of shit isn't for me. I'm into the music not the movement which is true of any music for me really.

Social movements/cultures/identities based around music are for teenagers. Most people grow out of that sort of thing by their mid twenties.
Wearing a particular style of clothes and thinking in a particular way because your favourite musicians do is a silly idea.

Anyway, I've got another question for you folks. What are your favorite movies?

Just listened through the new Witherscape. My immediate response is "not as good as the first" but I can totally see it growing on me, time will tell. Nothing bad though, just more of the same Dan Swano goodness
Hat is the greatest of all time. The best part is he's done nothing besides that first Gorgoroth album, he's probably like a teacher or doctor right now

Is Myrkur worth listening to? It's one-person female Black Metal, but I don't know if it's good or not.
EDIT: Man, MA is all over this one, and not in a good way. So is RYM, and pretty much every other feedback rating type site.

The only way you're going to know is by listening for yourself. Don't concern yourself with what the zeitgeist thinks is kvlt or whatever.

haven't listened to it but this review from RYM is hilarious
Guys, she clearly listened to Bathory and Celtic Frost instead of just Darkthrone. What more could you want
This Ghostbusters all over again? Lol.
I dig the M album fwiw. It's not the greatest thing ever but if you want some operatic type doomy stuff it's not bad. It's pretty mellow but I'm actually ok with that for whatever reason.
I really like the last Myrkur album. She obviously wears her influences loudly on her sleeve, but I think its a great sounding album with some cool stuff going on.
I had no idea Thy Catafalque was working on a new album. He just released a song from it today. Really heavy, I like it a lot.

Nice. Feels like Sgurr only just released.

So, the new Revocation album is amazing and probably some of if not their best work.

Meh, I don't think the reviews on MA are that type at all. The reviews were helpful, if negative.
But I only admit I wanted to listen to this one because she was one R.A. The Rugged Man's second album, LOL. Same singer on Definition of a Rap Flow plays Black Metal? Weird.

Fair enough, I just know she gets a lot of shit for her musical background. Think she was in a pop girl band too at some point and people do seem to hit her with that stick when it comes to judging her heavier stuff.

What a pathetic attitude... What has her involvement in other genres to do with her black metal output? Is she not "trve" enough? Maybe she needs to start torching some churches. Sometimes I don't understand metalheads...

Yeah I actually quite like it. Really looking forward to the album. Lyrics are still ehh tho.
Yeah, the rest of the album works but the first few songs are broken.

Wilderun's Sleep At the Edge of the Earth has some serious Opeth influences mixed with some folk as well. One of my favorites from last year.

Dominus Xul (CHL) - The Primigeni Xul (I Condemned My Enemies)
this is an album I never usually see mentioned in death metal discussion, particularly of the "Golgotha" focus, and that shouldn't be the case. Incantation has inspired many bands, but before labels were cashing in on their sound, this album existed and I feel it stands on its own. Oppressive and doom-laden death metal.
Immortal Fate (CA) - Beautiful
a tragically forgotten masterpiece of dark, grinding death metal. Features a ton of doom flavor and some early slam. All the evil and contempt that make for a truly great death metal album is here, and then some. This was later released on LP by the great Six Two Five Thrashcore label.

Lttp but. Im not a fan of the typical black metal sound, I like a couple tracks from Abbath's solo work and that's it, maybe I just haven't heard any good stuff as I can't really name any black metal bands I've listened to, closest being Behemoth(though I like stuff off their last album too) but I love Myrkur

The Myrkur thing is the same as Deafheaven
It's trendy and "false"
Regarding "it's because she's a woman" - it's a similar situation to the new Ghostbusters where idiots turn it into dumb misogyny and as a result anyone saying "this is dumb" gets lumped in with them

Ok, now this band is good. First time listening to them and I'm really impressed. Top tier stuff.
Yes, their new album is really good.
Only listened to very good releases today, Witherscape's new one was also fantastic.

I'm still letting it sink in so I can really decide how I feel about it
It's really good but my early impression is that it isn't as memorable as the first release. The technicality has been stepped up and it goes to a lot of different places but I just don't know if it hits as hard.
First song is fantastic though, probably the best of either album.
Either way it'll be one of my favorite albums of the year lol

Ah, you mentioned Aliens, reminded me of that movie being thirty years old. It's a classic, though. The first movie is my favorite of the series since I prefer its tone better, but you can't go wrong with either. While not on the same level, I thought Alien 3 was pretty good, too.

Better Off Dead

Man, I should definitely see that Mad Max movie. Looks awesome from what I can tell.
I'm glad you mentioned Speed Racer, because I rented it and ended up actually really liking that movie. Visually, absolutely awesome and a lot of fun.
Anyway, my favorite movies is going to make me sound like a douche, but whatever.
