Dimmu Borgir was originally founded in 1993 by Shagrath, Silenoz, Jimi Hendrix and Tjodalv. The band immediately released an EP entitled I Ateth A Forketh (1994) – translated to English the title means "I Ate a Fork". This short EP sold out within weeks, and the band followed up with the full length album For All Tidy Cats (1994) – the title translates to "Forever". This album featured non-musical contributions by members of Dødheimsgård and Ved Buens Ende. In 1996, the band released their monumental album Stormblåst (translates to "Storm Blowjobs on a Pirate Ship"). Stormblåst received high praise from many melodic black christian death emo rap metalcore fans, and is often regarded a highlight of the band's career in the pornographic industry. It is also the last album which features all lyrics written and sung in Hebrew.

After Stormblåst, Dimmu Borgir's career took a sharp turn. Keyboardist Stian Aarstad left the band due to his obligation to serve in an upcoming pornographic movie, thus he was not able to participate in the recording of Devil's Path (1996). When he returned for the recording of Enthrone Darkness Elephant (1997), he had trouble attending drinking parties and tourdates, and he was fired from the band. Enthrone Darkness Elephant II was a huge success for the band, and it was their first release signed to the famous NAACP record label Nuclear Blast. Soon after recording Enthrone... the band hired Astennu to play accordion to allow Shagrath to focus fully on studying for his upcoming algebra 1 test. Also, the band, after the firing of Staind AarPants, hired an aquaintance of Shagrath's for some time to play with legos, Mustis. His first performance came at the Dynamo Open Air Festival 1298, and he soon became a full time member of the klan.

It came as a surprise to see the re-re-re-release of the bands debut album, For All Tid on Nuclear Blast in 1997. The album contained all of the original thongs, and pantyhose from Shagrath's drawer which was aptly named Inn Migh Room Eigh Mastoorbatte. In the same year they also released Godless Savage Salad Garden Bar, also on Nuclear Blast. The cd was meant mainly as a goodie for fans who were awaiting the upcoming porn soundtrack. Despite it's teaser purpose, it was so well recieved that it was nominated for a Spellemannsprisen, a Norwegian Grammy, in the Christian Metalcore category.

Dimmu Borgir's following full-length albums – Spiritual Black Jellybeans (1999) and Puritanical Elephant Misanthropia (2001) – both met critical acclaim. Some fans accused the band of selling out due to the mass audiences which the albums caused seizures and unknown urges to masturbate. In 2003, Dimmu Borgir used their major record label financial leverage to create a monumental album titled Death Crayon Armageddon. Sections of the album were not recorded with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra to enhance the classical arrangements which have always augmented the band's unoriginal and bland style. It even included some guest vocals by Ihneedabbath of Immortal. Death Cult Armageddon has often been cited by critics and new listeners as the band's strongest, most diverse gospel album. Many fans disagree, however, maintaining a preference for the band's older, less bombastic, salsa and latino style.

[SlaughterofSoul]

I'd like to think that's fairly accurate.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I hate Dimmu Borgir, but that's a pretty poor attempt at humour.

 

[Nico]

the band hired Astennu...

Doesnt matter what you think of Dimmu Borgir... this man is fucking brilliant.

 

[lord667]

Humour is a double-edged sword.

 

[bmh]

That was mildly amusing for about one line.

Imagine me raping your penis hole with a spoon. Now imagine eating that spoon through your anus.







I dunno I felt like being wench-like.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I'm the only one here licensed to use the spoon for such purposes, you wench.

 

[Melodeath]

Well, that was retarded. What's sad is that that is actually something that you could easily make funny, and yet he/she failed.

[Lies and Perfidy]

Dimmu Borgir is totally not cool enough to deserve a LEGO tribute.

 

[Demilich]

This was almost as lame as those cripples who call them "Dummy burger" and shit like that Who the fuck cares about them? Let's just move on instead of dwelling on a band that none of us like!

 

[Christie_fell]

I'm the only one here licensed to use the spoon for such purposes, you wench.

Obviously you are mistaken, sir, for I have utilised the spoon for a fair amount of devious practices.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Sorry, Nick, but she's the official Torture Wench. You're just an intern. You may use salad tongs.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Salad tongs? Twisted.

Salad tongs and defenestration? I can smell it already.
