Bands With a Similar Style...

[Vienyard]

Anybody have some advice on who to seek out that has a roughly similar sound to Dimmu Borgir? Like shit with keys, different vocal approaches, variant tempos (not blasting constantly, athough I am a blast fan) and the like? Black, Doom, Goth, thrash, etc? I know of Dragonlord, Somnus, Epicurean, Venificum....but I want to know of some more.

I think that the old And Oceans' albums have a style very similar to Dimmu's one.... unfortunately now they've taken the eletronical music's way and so their last albums are crap but the old ones was very good

I suggest you "The dynamic gallery of thoughts", "And oceans vs. Bloodthorn" e "The simmetry of I the circle of O"
