More disgustingly lo-fi raw black metal from Caligula and Rasputin. A slight bit more adventurous than the first album, but Hellhammer, Beherit, Bathory and Darkthrone remain the big influences. It was deleted from print in 2006 but is now available on The Bleeding Edge.
Ah, the memories of the 80s tape trading scene come flooding back, when bands recorded demos on a portable tapedeck in the corner of their bedroom and spread them across the globe via the C90 cassette. Gomorrah sound authentic, even down to the hum of the motor in the quiet passages and the clatter of the stop button being pressed after each track.
Like the early Death demos, this is just bass, drums and vocals, and both albums follow the same Hellhammer, slow Dark Throne, early Beherit pattern, with the "NOTBP" tracks being slightly longer than those on "IPOTDL".
Under-rehearsed, sloppy and terribly recorded, Gomorrah fly in the face of convention. Fans of early death thrash will be delighted by them.
