"Incipit Satan" is the fifth full-length album by Norwegian black metal band Gorgoroth. Re-released in 2006 by Back on Black Records on gatefold LP. This album experiments far more with noise and industrial overtones. It was also the first album to mark Gaahl as the full time vocalist and King as bassist. This album was dedicated to their deceased friend and former bandmate Grim.
