The Dimmu Borgir Thread

[Vitor]

wat

yeah, ok... you know, i don't like all stuff, but since enthrone darkness triumphant 'till Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia is my cup of tea only.

before and after this little time i can't see nothing good enough

 

[KevenZ]

the original Stormblast is the best..... it didn't sound pretentious& ridiculous like the later releases.

In Sorte Diaboli is still a good release, very solid record with good riffing all throughout. Of course some people that liked the older Dimmu may not like the bouncy hardcore/thrash riffing all throughout the album, and the Deathcult Armageddon type palm muting(for this, listen to the very last riff on The Sinister Awakening). Still there's leads, tremolo picking, melodic chord progressions, and a little bit of Hard Rock type riffing. Still a diverse band despite doing what some say is selling out.

The only good song on ISD is the first one. Everything else is pretty shit imo.

 

[Einherjar86]

^It's a decent album, but definitely not great. There are really no stand-out tracks. Most of the album just blends together, and none of it is really memorable, in my opinion.

 

[Zephyrus]

ISD is their worst. Not a single song on there is better than any song on any album priorly written.

 

[Einherjar86]

Well put.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Good band, never had a chance to see them live.

PEM is the best IMO. Also like Spiritual Black Dimensions and Death Cult Armageddon.

For all Tid is their worst imo. ISD is very accessible but its a solid album nonetheless.

I don't think someone can doubt Dimmu Borgir being solid.

 

[tagradh]

Stormblast and Enthrone Darkness blablabla are good but the rest kinda sucks.

For All Tid is very boring.

I guess I'm in for a treat when I get Death Cult Armageddon and/or Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia because I thought In Sorte Diaboli was very good, 8/10.

Yep. ISD is I think the most acceccible album they have, and a good album to start if you're not really into the early/mid 90's BM which is the main direction of DB's first few albums.

Ive talked to alot of different people about whether dimmu are black metal anymore or not. And i was also told that shagrath or another member of dimmu said that they did not consider themselves black metal anymore, i dont know if this is true but if anyone does know where i can find that interview, that would be great. But what are your views on that question?

Death Cult is cool (Progenies of the Great Apocalypse is an awesome song), Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia is swell too, but you should really check out Enthrone. It's such a sick album.

They're not "true" anymore, but they're still Black Metal.

 

[waif]

no.
black metal, yeah. true? no.
but then, true is stupid imo. play music and it is what it is.
