Dimmu Borgir!

Ive been reading theses threads a bit and havent heard Dimmu Borgir mentioned once? Come-on, i cant be the only dimmu fan here.
I love there dark, melodic, atmospheric style especialy For all Tid and old Stormblast.
Thoughts?

 

Yes, those are my favourite albums as well. Especially Stormblast. I suppose Enthrone darkness triumphant is pretty ok as well, in a different way. After that they've lost my interest.

 

yeah I just started getting into them I'm really enjoying the spiritual black dimensions album at the moment.

 

I've seen em' live, what a great show! I was right up close to Vortex!

 

I saw them live as well, and now that I write this I think there was a Dimmu Borgir thread here, because I remember I wrote it before. Don't know where it's been though..

 

cool
can anyone direct me to some similar bands?

 

Similar like Stormblast or their newer, more industrial black metal stuff? Quite a difference.

 

yeah similar to their early stuff.
i agree with you- the lost my interest after enthrone.
ive only recently got into metal. i hear burzum are good too. any other sugstions?

 

I think you might like Ancient - The canian chronicle as well. Storm - Nordavind is a great folk/viking metal album by black metal musicians. Stuff like Covenant (now the Kovenant) - In times before the light and Troll - Drepp de kristne also are quite melodious black metal in the same vein.
Summoning is also a great black metal band with a lot of folky atmosphere. Hope you dig them!

 

I just saw em last night. Great show!

 

Woah, how did Boy George get into the band? I'm digging the hat, man.

 

Dimmu Borgir are cool. I especially like Stormblast (the original edition) and Puritanical, but my fave song of theirs is Arcane Lifeforce Mysteria. When I saw them they sucked, they seemed unmotivated and the sound was and stayed awful - no guitars whatsoever.

 

KVIST is exactly your thing if you liked the Stormblast album. Also try out the very first Satyricon full length.

 

they arent the most hardcore black metal band for sure, but i've liked all their stuff, their newest aint so great and enthrone darkness triumphant was my favorite, but their still damn good

 

i can`t get enough of dimmu borgir, any albums as good as stormblast original? i love that album. getting album with a song off i heard `progenies of the great apocalypse`, i don`t know the album though.

 

Death Cult Armageddon. That one and the newest were boring though, IMO.

 

Sweet jesus. I'd be embarassed to look like that.

Any of them.

 

Haha yeah. To be honest I always laugh at all these metal bands who wear armour and ridiculousley long spikes and paint their faces to make themselves look hardcore, what are they trying to make up for.

 

Penis envy?

 

yeah I find the the image of the black metal bands to be pretty funny my self I enjoy the music though and thats what counts.
