This orchestral stuff is amazing! Really enjoying this song also.. if only barker was still on drums..but I allready mentioned that in the gateways thread.

I couldnt even last the full track. There is no structure to the songs - too many changes, nothing seems to lead anywhere. Its sounds like 4-5 songs glued together.
The last 2 albums prior to this were very poor, everything up until then was fuckin killer though.
Bring Nagash back into the fold and maybe Dimmu will still writing actual songs again instead of this mess.

This mix is much easier to listen to(not to kiss andy's ass). I just couldn't even listen to more than 2 songs of their last album before my ears started to bleed.

Pretty much as dull and uninspired as everything since PEM.
PEM had the right balance between cool guitar hooks and equally cool symphonic melodies, now it's basically the same boring crap you hear out of bands like Epica and Nightwish. The symphony stuff drives the songs and melodies and the metal side of things is largely an afterthought, syncopated chugging of power chords to serve as a (bland) texture rather than strong, hooky riffs with symphonic instruments adding flavour and embellishment on top.
The same thing happens in folk metal, and it's cool for a couple of listens but it ultimately ends up coming off as a gimmick, like the metal side of things is only there for the sake of genre bending.

No, don't. I want him to actually finish the Kovenant album and his side stuff with Troll was more of the old school good stuff. Listening to Shagrath rant over another song about something not being tolerated or his pyramid scheme to start your own coven makes me ill.

Man the orchestrations on these new songs is so amateur... There's no real layers working together, everything is just a bunch of different instruments playing the same part, it's awful... Guess this is what happens when Mustis is gone and you have Shagrath trying to write orchestra parts... Brutal :/
Mix is ridiculous though, easily best sounding Dimmu I've ever heard.
