new dimmu borgir

[500_Channels]

i love it. how does everyone else feel about it? i think it takes a step forward after death cult armageddon, which just wasnt the best they could do at all.

 

[LostinReverie]

It's ok. I like their old CD's better, including POTGA. Not to say it's bad.

 

[tagradh]

I liked the introduction to the first song, asides that I found it pretty boring. Stormblast and Enthrone Darkness Triumphant are my favorites.

 

[Belligerent]

Solid. Good comeback from Deathcult.

 

[Vossyrus]

I've said it before, its a good album (which grew on me after being a disappointment) but it doesn't hold strong against their earlier albums.

IMO, from best to worst:
1. For All Tid
2. Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
3. Spiritual Black Dimensions
4. Enthrone Darkness Triumphant
5. Death Cult Armageddon
6. Stormblåst
7. In Sorte Diaboli
8. Stormblåst (re-recording)

Progenies of the great Apocalypse? thats a song...

 

[Zephyrus]

I found the album to be a great improvement over DCA and somewhat thoroughly enjoyable. I feel that they have gotten more of a steady grasp on their new sound. The musicianship and songwriting is very good. The album has grown on me and I think the songs have taken deeper root than the shallow stuff from the previous two albums.

There's a DVD with that title.

 

[KevenZ]

i only like the first 3 albums.... the rest is more of the same.

 

[panzerfaust666]

There's a DVD with that title.

ahhhh,well he said a cd so yeah i didnt think of that.

 

[CaGeD iN]

im not saying they are bad, i just think they are horribly overrated

 

[Shift_aws]

much better then the dimu borgir which was a "keyboard supported by the band" now its more guitar and keyboard a little less oriented

!!!
9/10

 

[Hatebreeder]

I've enjoyed it quite a bit. I love the songwriting and the overall sound seems more focused on the traditional black metal aesthetic than DCA was. The opening to "The Serpentine Offering" is a nostalgic throwback to the openings of classic BM albums like In the Nightside Eclipse and Dark Medieval Times.

And, I'm a sucker for Hellhammer.

 

[Zephyrus]

Ah of course, Hellhammer really helped out the album by injecting some Mayhem-esque drum technique. I'll take that over Bob, err, Nick Barker any day.

 

[Morbidian]

The drumming is tight and fast and all that, but it lacks any feel. If I didn't know better I'd assume a drum machine was used. I don't really care for Hellhammer that much.

It's an ok album but the only really great records I think they did were EDT and Stormblast.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

It's good. Not great but worth getting.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Ah of course, Hellhammer really helped out the album by injecting some Mayhem-esque drum technique. I'll take that over Bob, err, Nick Barker any day.

I must say, though, that Hellhammer has a tendency to use too many fills. It's good on ISD, but on Mayhem's Ordo Ad Chao, the fills screw with the production and drown out the music sometimes.

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

my favorite is PEM and I'm more of a Nick Barker fan... his style fit them imo...

 

[Requiem.]

I was disappointed with it, just like I have been disappointed with everything after the original Stormblast

 

[Morbidian]

my favorite is PEM and I'm more of a Nick Barker fan... his style fit them imo...

I agree, I prefer his work to Hellhammer's.
