Well they have abandoned their black metal roots, and I don't think that's a bad thing though For All Tid is my favourite Dimmu album.
However, more than anything the whole "Dimmu isn't black metal" has much to do with Dimmu being successfully popular, and appeaing to a certain audience. There are numerous bands accepted as black metal but are respected, and people don't jump and shout "they aren't black metal" every time the band's name is mentioned. You could easily question the validity of many accepted 'black metal' bands.

I'm about halfway through Lords of Chaos and it's an ok read so far. The part about Varg's motivations and ideologies drags on forever, though, and it seems like a lot of it was bullshitted(which it probably was).

I thought it was a good book though like you said it drags a bit. Still very cool to see an 'obscure' genre like black metal get so much coverage in a book.

they were good live.
the keyboardist just sat there, didnt move for an entire show. it was creepy as fuck. (could only see his face because of his setup, but that corpse paint was wicked)

Yeah I saw them live recently also. And yeah Mustis didn't move all that much...
Good show but the guitars sounded like absolute shit.

The only problem at my show was that the sound guy fucked up and made the keyboards almost mute.

I read a review of another show where the keyboards were inaudible. Keys sounded great at my show but guitars for so low in the mix you couldn't hear them. Fucking sucked.

That fact that you do not own this is insulting. Yes, it does have a lot of synth-work, but it works to a great and powerful effect on the listener. The synths are powerful but they remain as backing and atmospheric conveyances, rather than the keyboard-noodling you would expect from Arcturus. The vocals on this album are delivered with such painful emotion you would think the guy should drop dead after every verse. There are three metal tracks (all very long) and three shorter synth tracks, but don't count those out as they are just as moving as the guitar-driven tracks.

The Nazi UFO conspiracy section literally had me laughing the entire time I was reading it.

As brilliant as the album is, I don't know where you get the idea that the album is "moving" and so emotional. If anything, it's a fantastic display of epic aggression and beauty. But what you're saying sounds like you've been listening to some Opeth or something!
Hunger of Elements isn't some kind of dirge, it's a dark display of power.
