"The recording of ‘Kosherat’ was finished in 2005 and it is their most professional and bombastic release to date. Incorporating two new members on drums (The Gulag) and vocals (Grimnir) respectively (same line-up that played on the PIMPS OF GENNESARET TOUR in December 2002) has only strengthened their approach and creativity. GBK is scheduled to return to Europe in February of 2006 to play dates in Northern Europe. GBK are considered to be one of the founding fathers of the American Black Metal Genre (among a handful of others), without emulating the soon-commercialized stereotypical black metal sound so popularized in the last 14 years, regardless of the way modern-day magazines prefer to think the USBM scene developed. When GRAND BELIAL’S KEY started, there was no such thing as a US Black Metal scene…" - Stolen from Drakkar

I like their first two much more, but this one isn't bad.

I love how the mandatory recommendation concept has inspired so many voluntary recommendations as of late. Yep, these guys kick ass, any fan of Arghoslent would enjoy this.

I like GBK, they have some great riffs, but they really don't get too much replay from me.
