New Dimmu Borgir is incredible....

[skyshock1]

I don't know if it's cool to post this sorta thing here, but I know there's a few DB fans here as well. Just thought I'd share.

Death Cult Armageddon is a masterpiece. And I've only heard a rough mix. I can't wait to hear the fully mixed/mastered version...

Yeah, I'll be buying it.

 

[chaveta]

i think cradle of filth is cool

 

[Static]

Looking forward to hearing it.

 

[ShadowOfFire]

I'm gonna have to check that shit out. My favorite song by them is Raabjorn Speiler Draugheimens Skodde though.

edit:Fucking sick!

I've downloaded and listened thoroughly to three songs and as far as I can hear, it's Dimmu's worst material yet. It's practically a carbon copy of Puritanical, and one album of Puritanical is plenty. Up until now Dimmu has developed just enough from album to album to stay interesting, but Death Cult Armageddon is already sounding stagnant. Dimmu's style just isn't good enough in my opinion to repeat itself...and that's exactly what they're doing now.

One album I was looking forward to that I won't be buying.

[edit] A look at the work in that link confirms all my thoughts; they're even repeating the same artistic look, themes, photography, image etc on DCA. A very similar title font, identical front cover compositional arrangement, same band poses.......

why the hell didn't they just call this Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia 2???

 

[Immortal Death]

Dimmu Borgir is fucking EXCELLENT... really looking forward to DCA.

 

[AfAiRJudgEmenT]

They better be good when they go on tour with Bodom. Wasn't a big Dimmu listener so I'll have to wait and see when they go on tour with the Wildchild!

 

[blueskytheory]

plus they ripped off the whole death cult thing from the chasm, an infinitely better band hehe

 

[Hondo]

If they use the orchestra more, and have less blastbeat filler, then DCA could be much better than Puritanical. The two samples there seem pretty good at least.

 

[Katatonic]

very excited

dimmu borgir...

born lifeless into a world of coma...

Overrated :Smug:

I can see how one could form this impression, but I suggest you listen to it a few more times and let it sink in...you might change your mind.

Also keep in mind that the mp3s aren't the final copy. The pre-listening already sounds a bit different, e.g. the keys sound higher in the mix on "For the World..." which I think makes it sound more interesting.

Overrated :Smug:

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

yes it is incredibly boring and repetetive- scream, blast beat, scream, orchestra, scream, blast beat.....

 

[deathbearer]

hmm..I've heard a few songs from the pre listening and I wasn't at all impressed..It's ok but not great..Sounds like PEM part 2..Maybe I need to hear more..Also, the tour with COB is NOT as of yet coming to the NYC/Metro area or Poughkeepsie, NY..What gives?

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

I've heard the new album. It screams 'AVERAGE' at me from all angles

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

Oh and another thing. For the second time running Vortex is wasted on this album. He simply doesn't get enough of a look in. He should have stuck with Borknagar, far better band.

 

[Midwinter_melancholY]

It's better than 'Damnation and a Day' whatsoever. I understand the 'hataz' of dimmu (of whom some prefer the 'old sound'), but their latest fucker will blew your head off I think.

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

It's better than 'Damnation and a Day'

Yeah it is, but that isn't exactly saying much is it?
