Dimmu Borgir

[Eldzik]

pre-Puritanical era - gothic metal with keys and black metal image
Puritanical era - sympho death with some black elements

 

[Pentelesh]

Symphonic Black Metal I say.

Luckily I care right now,
but well, the best BM band is for sure several bands,
not only Dimmu, melodic BM sounds also good, but don't think we can characterize their releases as gothic,
don't focus so much on the different genres, but name the right genres, like Manowar - heavy metal, Darkthrone - primitive BM, or Morbid Angel - death metal, ... well, many different bands in each style indeed.

Thrash metal with gothic stuff.

 

[Morgana]

I'm glad you did not say green metal, I would totally disagree then!

 

[Metal is Religion]

Hmm, Symphonic Melodic Black metal!

 

[J.]

Dimmu, the best Norwegian black metal band ?

 

[J.]

Hmmm, Puritanical crap, maybe?

Pop.

Is that Anorexia Nervosa? I thought it was Dimmu at first, but then I realised you couldn't see the nipples of any of the members in the pic.

@TheEmperor: You seem to think black metal sucks. You seem to think that genres don't matter, as long as you like the music. Then why the fuck do you care if others DON'T call Dimmu black metal? Your whining is illogical.

 

[BRUTAL SENSATION]

dimmu are seriously overrated imo......they are so many other bands that are superior to them!

On another note, Anorexia Nervosa have 1) the gayest band name ever, 2) some of the gayest band photos ever:

so fucking what? Anorexia Nervosa is one of the best band on the world and for me their image is very orginal better than most of true evil satan bands...
