yeah so I just listened to the new Dimmu Borgir on streaming...

[AsModEe]

It's not that it's bad... it's just nothing new. I felt I heard that kind of stuff a thousand times. They really need to reinvent themselves. The songs are okay, but they all kinda sound the same.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

o rly?

 

[AsModEe]

yeah, I don't expect this thread to get much attention, but I felt like saying it.

Thx m00se for posting

It's assembly-line black metal for weddings. Seriously, this is just by the numbers, completely and utterly devoid of any emotion whatsoever.

Music like this...I dunno. Really, it's like someone's plugged in an algorithm into a computer via old punch card and a machine spat this crap out on ticker tape.

 

[AsModEe]

yeah, you're pretty on much on target.

 

[EricT]

Agreed.

It is just devoid of anything... Human, I guess would be the term.

the strangest thing is that you people spent time listening to it

:zombie:

 

[Nate The Great]

I'm guessing this band will really start to explode in the US after this album. I haven't heard it and probably never will, but black metal by the numbers sounds like a hit over here.

:zombie:

it was not time wasted, I studied while listening to it. And give us a break, not listening to it at all would be close minded

 

[Nate The Great]

I'd probably listen to it, if it was available for free (legally). But mostly to see how they've changed since Spiritual Black Dimensions. That's the last I heard them.

 

[AsModEe]

you can listen to it on steaming for a week. That's how I made my mind. There's probably a link on DB's website.

 

[Demilich]

You know, I've never even given this band a proper listen.

 

[AsModEe]

I'd suggest PEM over anything else first. Well, maybe stormblast and for all tid if you only like pure BM.

 

[Demilich]

Do I look like I only like pure BM?

 

[AsModEe]

well, pure BM over some sort of bastardized thrash/death/black metal hybrid. Don't be so picky.

 

[Doom]

Well if we're being picky, I wouldn't really call Stormblast or For All Tid "pure BM". Great albums though.

I will check out this newest one later I imagine.

 

[JayKeeley]

Stormblast is great. I haven't heard For All Tid.

Thing is, I even liked the first Dimmu album where we first heard Vortex unleash those clean vocals. There's no doubt that he adds a great deal to any song.

FACT: "The Chaos Path" wouldn't be nearly as good without Simen.
