Friend of mine loaned me the cd. It was quite satisfying. I forgot how good it was. Extremely heavy. If ya dont have it, ya should go out and buy it. Its good.

Not a lot of Black Metal love around here.

I haven't listened to this album, but I do like Borgir. The bassist has an amazing voice.

I'm suprised on the last 2 albums they've gotten quite 'musical'. The new one is quite enjoyable.

new album is pretty good.

one of the video's is getting quite alot of airplay here in norway. surprisingly on very mainstream channels

I'm really digging this whole album. They have really stretched out musically. It's quite good.

Yea odd isn't it? I mean, as musical as it is, I'm suprised it is getting that much attention but I haven't heard much from the black metal masses claiming they sold out.

I dont see how people could say they sold out. That albums heavy as hell.

they say they sold out because they aren't "real black metal" anymore, the purist black metallers are just whining. Puritanical euphoric misanthropia is my favorite though!

i'm really digging this album...i liked nick barker's contributions as drummer for 'armageddon' and 'misanthropia' and when i found out hellhammer was going to be stepping in as drummer, all i could do was think about how much i really dig arcturus and how going with him just made sense...i love the serpentine offering, and after hearing 'diaboli' i went out and got the re-release of stormblast...man...great...sorgens kammer rocks...and if you dig shagrath or dimmu in general, he steps in on kamelot's last album for some guest vocals...not a huge contribution, but it really contrasts with khan's style...dimmu rocks

Good though Nick Barker is, Hellhammer is really a whole other level IMO. Not checked this album out yet, but if it continues in the trend of the last couple (bigger, heavier, more symphonic) I'll be happy

Sorgens Kammer does rock, but 2 of the best tracks on the cd IMO are The Chosen Legacy and The Sacriligious Scorn. I really dig the evil keyboard lines in Chosen Legacy. mmmmm evil

Too bad Dimmu isn't black metal...anymore. Their first 2 albums were. After that the only song I like is "In Deaths Embrace"

you know, the first time i heard hellhammer's drumming, i wasn't impressed at all...when i found out that he was arcturus' drummer, i couldn't believe it was the same guy...now the guy's a behemoth...you can check out the serpentine offering and the sacriligious scorn on their website...i think you'll dig it

it's funny you say that...to my knowledge, mustis is a diehard classical nut and doesn't even listen to black metal (or majestic melodic or whatever box you want to stick it in)...you're right though, he does come up with some wacked out keyboard parts, though...bach would be proud

i can see your argument, there, knowing firsthand how norwegians are about their black metal...by their definition, though, if they found out that a guy from the united states thought that dimmu's first two albums were black metal, they would have to write dimmu off as having never been black metal at all

by the same account, i can go to sam goody and pick up satyricon and dark funeral albums all day...what does that say?

DayoftheGreek · #16 11-07-2007, 11:25 AM

The only song I have heard off this album is "The Serpentine Offering" because a friend of mine plays it constantly. I really like the song. I might have to check out the rest of the album one of these days.

Bach, Beethoven, and the rest of the old dead guys would be very proud. I hear classical influances all over on certain songs. The Serpentine Offering is a great example. The beginning reminds me so much of the music from Star Wars for some reason. I also had no idea Mustis was a classical nut and didnt listen to metal.

+1!

I really like Dimmu Borgir. Their newer stuff is very different from the earlier stuff, but it's still good. Just different.
