Description: Gorgoroth is a Norwegian black metal band based in Bergen. It was formed in 1992 by guitarist Infernus, who is also the only original member remaining, and the band has since released nine studio albums. Gorgoroth is a Satanic band and has drawn controversy due to some of their concerts, which have featured impaled sheep heads and mock crucifixions. The band is named after the dead plateau of darkness in the land of Mordor from J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings.
Description: Napalm Death is an English extreme metal band widely recognized as a pioneering force in the development of grindcore, a genre that fuses the speed and aggression of hardcore punk with the heaviness of death metal. Formed in the West Midlands in the early 1980s, the band has remained influential through decades of stylistic evolution while retaining its uncompromising sound and socially conscious themes.
Description: Filosofem (Norwegian for Philosopheme) is the fourth studio album by Norwegian black metal solo project Burzum. It was recorded in March 1993 and was the last recording before Varg Vikernes' imprisonment (16 May 1994); the album was not released until January 1996, however. A music video was made for the song "Dunkelheit" and received airtime on both MTV and VH1. The album is noted for its experimental sound when compared to most other second-wave black metal (see music and artwork section). Vikernes considered the release an "anti-trend album".
Description: Burzum (/ˈbɜːrzəm/; Norwegian: [ˈbʉ̀rtsʉm]) was a Norwegian music project founded by Varg Vikernes in 1991. Although Burzum never played live performances, it became a part of the early Norwegian black metal scene and is considered one of the most influential acts in the history of black metal. He has also released four dark ambient and neofolk albums. The word "Burzum" means "darkness" in the black speech, a fictional language crafted by Lord of the Rings writer J. R. R. Tolkien. Burzum's lyrics and imagery are often inspired by fantasy and Norse mythology and do not feature the political views Vikernes is known for.
