Holy shit!!!!
This is huge news!!! My dream has come true, hurrah!!!!
I can't believe this is happening, I'm in a state of shock. Like most (everyone I guess) people here, I only listened to Dimmu because
Mr. V-ortex (better than the parenthesis I say) was in the band.
Puritanical is an excellent album (I have the LP with the huge patch
), but the subsequent ones had less and less Mr. V-ortex, which made them, oh, not so good to be honest. They're not bad, but not great either, just a mere "m'eh, I can live without them".
I guess I'll still listen to Dimmu, it's going to be interesting to see what direction the band takes.
I'm really happy he's out of Dimmu now and he can do his own stuff, but the downside to that of course is that he won't have the same steady income as he had in Dimmu. Situation is basically bad for him but good for us I guess. Of course I feel bad for him, but it's probably a blessing in disguise.
He probably has enough cash from Dimmu IMO, but what the heck do I know about his income
.

Maybe he's had enough financial gain having been in DB for 9 years. I think I've heard he's a carpenter, like Jesus...
that comment made my day (or the 47 minutes left of it). Just like with Damian Wilson, I am willing, and will give him money for his music. Heck, if he needs financial help we can do a "Help for the next Vortex album fund", I know that I would donate.
If he quits music and focuses on family I will be crushed
I have a feeling he might... maybe pop up every few years to do something. I don't know, that is my greatest fear. Hopefully he'll just do solo stuff though...
No, I don't think that'd be the case to be honest. He said in an interview with Ultimatemetal (sound familiar?) that he had lots of ideas, so I can imagine that there will be some months in which we won't know much about him, but then he will either join a band or release the tons of material he says he has.
I have never been a Dimmu fan, but I always though that Vortex and Mustis were the most talented members of the band. I hope Sverd gets some motivation to restart Arcturus and Simen starts to make good music (the same goes for Mustis...after all he's very talented too).
This was the first thing that came to my mind!!! I think that because of this there's a high possibility that Arcturus (third brightest star in the firmament) might actually get together again!
Three cheers to that!
Vortex is the only reason i ever listened to them, without him...their shit. I hope he gets into a better group or forms a better band on his own. His talent needs to be out front.
Yes, Mr. V-ortex's talent was really never used in Dimmu, he just played bass and some vocals; a total insult to his talent.
I feel very weird right now, happy and sad in a way, but most of all happy!
(or something).
