In terms of pure, outstanding black metal in the 2nd-wave tradition, Gorgoroth has produced some of the finest albums ever made. Though there is much to praise in the artistic risk-taking of later eras, the trilogy of Pentagram, Antichrist and In the Sign of Hell will always hold sway as the defining emblems of the band's legacy (infamous performances in Poland notwithstanding). With Infernus at the helm, the band specializes with black metal that is raw and aggressive, yet melodic and engaging. ADVERTISING So it was with much confusion and disappointment that fans were treated in 2011 to a redo of that third album. After a strong showing with Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt, it felt like a waste of time to try and update such an indisputable classic. What lies at the heart of black metal is its ability to create an atmosphere, particularly with the characteristically raw production!
