Latin Names, Gay Music - "Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam" Review (0%)
So what's with this Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam, and why is it so hated around here? Let's find out give it a listen.
Oh wow. Titles in Latin, looks satanic, maybe Mayhem has finally returned to a DMDS sound! Second coming of Stigma Diabolicum, even? No, it's emo.
Riddle me this: if emo isn't like the fat, old, meth addicted prostitute that you woke up next to in the basement and felt great shame for, why do people go to such great lengths to try and hide it?
Musically, Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam is Dark Funeral mating with Dimmu Borgir.
Quite the homosexual orgy.
And it sucks, too.
A half riff, pseudo 'satanic' tough guy pandering meet useless nu-metal rhythm sections and directionless single-string guitar theatrics while being fronted by a literal manchild that reeks desperation his attempts to sound rebellious.
This is the story of the ultimate emo band that managed to stay relevant after emo died away, by choosing to identify with the most retarded segment of the metal community.
Possibly one of the most overrated bands on earth thanks to their simplified one breakdown that they use on every track, lyrics that allow anyone to feel 'occult' and 'satanic' and the propagation of the idea that just by hitting one string on your guitar you are making good music.
At this great depth into your rectum, there is only shit.
No enema can set this emo sludge shit free.

Gorgoroth is yet another worthless band that plays emo jockcore masquerading as a black metal band. Nothing about this album is morbid, sinister, atmospheric or even original. It's just a bunch of stop-start mechanical rap/rock grooves sandwiched between random nu-Satyricon emo randomness without any rhyme or reason.
And the lyrics...
These guys are mad, dude.
Their dads didn't beat them satisfactorily, for one thing, and we know how much Gorgoroth clowns Infernus and Gaahl like to 'take it'. And then there's that religion thing, which sucks dude, because it alone is responsible for brainwashing billions of people into not liking Gorgoroth's music and also caused, like, literally every war ever, and homophobia and shit. If only there was someone who could incarnate some sort of father figure for them to worship, on literally every track... someone like a vague, nondescript Satan.
This is the sentiment I hear behind this untermenschen apathetic 'me-too' faux-speed emocore.
I'd liken the predictable rhythm-driven arrangements to Britney Spears' music, but sadly her songs exert a more visceral grip and technical prowess than anything heard on Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam.
At this point, Gorgoroth sounds about like the average generic emo rock band and their fans need to stop with the lies and come to terms with what they really want to hear: socially acceptable whine rock.
Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam is highly recommend for near-fourty-year-old warehouse employees with fat girlfriends, Call of Duty shirts, and Monster Energy stickers on their artisanal bikes.
Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam score: 0/100.
