Is Dimmu Borgir worth checking out?

Their older material is awesome, but the newer stuff is... not so great. I'd say check out the Godless Savage Garden or For All Tid albums. Perhaps Stormblast too.
 
what a good symphonic song by them? there keyboardist is quite impressive not only in playing but in synth programming... unless he's using a click track with it because those parts are impossible to play with one keyboard.

i also wasn't aware that Vortex (when i heard the clean vocals i automatically thought Arcturus :) ) and hellhammer where in the band.
 
Hmmm... well the symphony work on Death Cult Armageddon was pretty good, though I did not like the songs as much. Maybe try the song Stormblast. It's old but the whole album has good keyboard work.

They're ok for bm which is not a particularly good genre to start with. Anorexia Nervosa is better.
