The band performed their first concert at Lusa Lottes Pøbb in Oslo on at a four-day Black Metal Nights festival with bands such as Dark Funeral (who also made their live debut), Dissection, Enslaved, Marduk (who played their first gig abroad), Gehenna and Hades Almighty. After Pentagram was completed and released in 1994, drummer Goat left the band and was replaced by Frost from Satyricon. When bassist Kjettar left the band in 1993, Samoth of Emperor joined Gorgoroth as their new bassist, and participated in the recording of the album. After the demo was released, Gorgoroth signed a record deal with Embassy Productions and started work on their debut full-length Pentagram. According to the article, the release of the demo and flyers with Satanic symbols led to "concerned parents contacting the Sheriff's Office in Fjaler". On 7 January 1994, Firda, the major newspaper in the county of Sogn og Fjordane where the band originated from, ran a cover story on the demo, with the headline "Local music with Satanic symbolism". In 1993, the band released their first demo, entitled A Sorcery Written in Blood. Gorgoroth was founded in 1992 by guitarist Infernus.
