Although Gorgoroth's music (and band politics, for that matter) these days are...questionable, to say the least, back in the early 90s, they produced some damn good music. It's easy for a lot of people (particularly newcomers to the scene) to overlook a lot of the relatively 'famous' black metal bands, and forget that they too once produced quality black metal. Pentagram is Gorgoroth's first full-length. It's got a pretty standard Norwegian black metal sound to it, but the song writing is really well done and it never feels generic. It's a short album at only a mere thirty minutes, but when you've got music that's as repetitive sounding (as, admittedly, a lot of Norway's black metal from that time period was), it works in the band's favor.
