Description:
Dimmu Borgir, the mightiest band in the black metal world, releases their first new album in eight years! Intense yet diverse, it masterfully fuses the raw energy of early black metal with the intricate compositional skills honed over decades of activity. A must-listen for all extreme metal fans, this album boasts an overwhelming scale worthy of breaking their long silence! [Includes Japanese booklet / With bilingual lyrics] Dimmu Borgir: the emperor of the black metal world, a source of pride not only for Norway but for the entire world. Formed in 1993 by Sven Atle Kopperud (Silenoz) and Stian Thoresen (Shagrath), they carved their name into the heyday of the Second Wave of Black Metal and have reigned at the pinnacle of the scene for over 30 years since. With their unique style that fuses symphonic grandeur and dark aesthetics, they have built a monumental legacy in metal history through works such as *Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia* and *Death Cult Armageddon*. Their creative approach has consistently been uncompromising. Especially since *Abrahadabra* (2010), they have refused to be swayed by trends or schedules, releasing new works only when they are absolutely certain everything is in place. It is this stance—rejecting haste and pursuing uncompromising quality—that makes them truly one-of-a-kind. Now, Dimmu Borgir is set to release a new album. Eight years after their previous album, *Eonian*, this new release, titled *Grand Serpent Rising*, boasts an overwhelming scale befitting the end of their long silence. Comprising 13 tracks, it features a fierce yet diverse sound, seamlessly fusing the raw energy of early black metal with the intricate compositional skills honed over decades of activity. Production began intermittently around 2018, with each member accumulating ideas individually even during the pandemic. By the time they finally reunited, they had amassed enough material for a double album. The tracks carefully selected from this collection are dense and intense, stripped of all excess. Musically, the band has toned down their traditional symphonic elements slightly to emphasize a raw, dynamic energy as a live act. With Fredrik Nordström at the helm as producer, the recording process eschewed excessive digital processing in pursuit of an organic, powerful sound that prioritizes a live feel. "Grand Serpent Rising" is a definitive work that marks Dimmu Borgir’s current position, and its overwhelming level of perfection and spiritual depth reaffirm that they still stand at the pinnacle of black metal. A must-listen for all extreme metal fans! [Members] Shagrath (Vocals/Keyboards) Silenos (Guitar) [Supporting Members] Dalei (Drums) Victor (Bass) Gerlios (Keyboards/Piano) Damage (Guitar)
