I remember going to Media Markt in Weiden, DE and buying In Sorte Diaboli and picking up the Guitar World with that tutorial (before they stop putting the DVDs in the mag) fall of 07.
Absolutely true, mostly due to the fact that all the spice of the guitar sound was eliminated on the album in favour of a more sterile sound, which is apparently thought to appeal to a larger audience.
i always took the side of death metal in the norweigian black vs swedish death metal war....and do like some black metal and after hearing "blackened death metal" bands like behemoth, i have a new appreciation for some black metal
@9HereticPrincess9 yep everything pre abrahadabra is still kickass, not only the first 3 albums were good, and I think ppl highly underestimate the incredible album in sorte diaboli is, because of the imagery they put into the music videos, but rly, EVERYTHING pre abrahadabra is awsome and this is coming from someone that listenes to bands like gorgoroth, dark funeral, burzum (especially burzum) and some mayhem and darkthrone
when i bought in sorte diaboli i already knew it was pretty bad compared to what they had done, but the sinister awakening still makes me feel the dark eerie mood of songs like blessings or reptile, its the only song in the album that does that, wich is sad considering the whole EDT gives you that feeling
@christslayer666 yeah, learning dimmu songs, you realize that they're riffs are actually really difficult, esp on the older albums. In Sorte is a great album, just saying that their riffs this time were more thrashy
well.... playing D# or even D makes the guitar sounds much heavier whole sound changes... but believe me ... when active pickups the sound goes 100% insane..... with passive pickups you can't make so heavy sounds, architecture is completely different and they don't use a preamp...... well just go to a local music instruments store and ask to play with a guitar with these pickups and you will understand what i mean:)
Black metal has more punk-style riffs with a lot of minor chords played for a whole measure, but there is also a lot of melodic stuff and I really enjoy playing that over unnecessary solos and generic power chord riffs. As for the thrash thing, death and black did stem out from thrash but I think there's a huge difference that only people who don't listen to metal wouldn't notice, and should be considered as completely different genres. Also, there's a lot better bands than Behemoth and Borgir.
@lak3b0dom Well for one throw away that fender and get yourself either a peavey combo amp specifically a 5150 or 6505 either or. But if that's out of the question just buy a distortion stomp box.
some new ESP models (2009) use SD too as well:) i haven't heard about it sorry:( well i wouldn't buy a guitar shaped like that:p i got really used to strat shape for over 15 years:P i own an ESP m3 Deluxe (Custom shop) :) can't get used easily to play on V or V Like shaped guitars:/ but well... all this is a matter of taste. how you got used and what sound you like better:)
@linde93 well, it's the same cords, but not the same rythm, so you can't really say they stole it. If that was to be ilegalized, we'd probably only have 10 bands in the world.
Silenoz has never been a good guitar player. Galder is a good composer (OMC). Never understood why Astennu had to go... He put so much feeling in his guitar...
listen to the live recording of kings of the carnival creation at wacken 2001. galder can't play the opening riff correctly, he still gets to tour with them and it is released on DVD... he should have sticked with OMC and shag & sil are stubborn fools for fireing astennu. imo silenoz is a good rythm guitar player, but just astennu made it perfect by beeing the lead guitar player.
Shag mostly plays the rhytm guitar in rehearsel. Silenoz is playing the parts Shag is making. Galder is playing his own parts. But it's shag who does play the rhytm sections
Styhn I second that. It wasn't the first DB album I bought so when I did finally go back to it, my mind was blown. I respect Galder but Astennu was in a whole other league.
sound is something personal.... i am also not really familiar with Randal Amps.... i m kinda more familiar with Laney, and Marshall :) just go there with your distortion pedal.... and check... even the standard E Tunning could Satisfy you as well:) it's all a matter of taste... :)
I used to prefer thrash and death and actually despised black metal, I thought it was just generic shit and a dumb Satan trend, but then I started to get into it and now I really like it over most thrash or death bands. Emperor's In the Nightside Eclipse, Dissection's Storm of the Light's Bane, Burzum's Hvis lyset tar oss, Darkthrone's Transilvanian Hunger, Lord Belial's Enter the Moonlight Gate, to name a few, it's rare for a thrash or death band to make a masterpiece like those albums.
Honestly the one mistake I think Dimmu made throughout their career was the lack of guitar harmonies and counterpoint riffs...at the end of spellbound on the enthrone darkness album for instance, you hear this amazing guitar harmony which gradually just fades, and I absolutely LOVE it, it's just a pity they didn't have much more like that in their albums =/ Instead they're usually just playing the same riff which kinda defeats the purpose of having two guitars...imho anyway.
Old mans child album!!! Cmon 2019
they sound so good because they are playing in perfect sync with epic setups to complement each other. epic gear and epic sync play.
- OLDS MAN CHILD - COM BACK !!!!
YEEAAHHH!!! I just LOVE your work, I mean, You're my favourite band in the world!
And Old Man's Child also!
Being Inspired!
You know, I think Dimmu Borgir will still kick butt. They have really great guitar riffs. In sorte really has got a great selection of guitar riffs.
best metal band of the last 20 years
4:35 SHIT GOT REAL!! THATS A MEAN ASS RIFF
best song on the album IMO!
Old Man's Child - com back !!!
Galder's part in The Foreshadowing Furnace is so awesome
Very underrated guitarists
I remember going to Media Markt in Weiden, DE and buying In Sorte Diaboli and picking up the Guitar World with that tutorial (before they stop putting the DVDs in the mag) fall of 07.
Yea, I miss getting the dvds. Got some good ones back in the day.
Enthrone Darkness Triumphant was there best album of all time...
Awesome. Love these guys!
the forshadowing funace some mayhem inspiration !
I love to hear the tubes of the amp whistle :) That's what i hear on the album too which gives me a more realistic feeling :)
these guys play so cleanly, holy crap.....impressive
TSA is my favorite song off ISD and The Sacreligious Scorn is right behind it, love the video for that!
great video - great songs DIMMU RULES!!!
man i´d love to sit down with these dudes and my bass and jam a bit with them.
The riffs sound better than the actual songs.
Absolutely true, mostly due to the fact that all the spice of the guitar sound was eliminated on the album in favour of a more sterile sound, which is apparently thought to appeal to a larger audience.
Alexander Schubert A sterile sound is a weak sound 😧
There are other instruments on the album, can't hog the whole mix with the guitars.
Such good riffs, it's a pleasure to listen them play it.
1:23 that's sick 😮
the best band of black metal ave borgir...
I think they hated each other. Lots of passive aggressive tension and smart ass remarks haha
Thats indeed so true! he plays so agressive and so freakin tight!
2019 and we still here!!!
..............Yeaaahhhh nice riffs!
fuckin amazing and talented musicians!!! omg i want to play like that one day!!!
Just checking to see how thats coming along.
@@donaldwoody7910 quite well. I've been in several bands and recorded three studio albums so far.
@@motorheadbanger90 good stuff man, dreams come true
Damn critics, dimmu borgir always be the best black metal band, with or without Mustis and vortex ...
@lukemanv0 I completely agree dude. Guess we'll find out pretty soon which path they decide to take for the new record!
i always took the side of death metal in the norweigian black vs swedish death metal war....and do like some black metal and after hearing "blackened death metal" bands like behemoth, i have a new appreciation for some black metal
I like soo much the silenoz guitar!! :O beautyfull!!
@9HereticPrincess9 yep everything pre abrahadabra is still kickass, not only the first 3 albums were good, and I think ppl highly underestimate the incredible album in sorte diaboli is, because of the imagery they put into the music videos, but rly, EVERYTHING pre abrahadabra is awsome and this is coming from someone that listenes to bands like gorgoroth, dark funeral, burzum (especially burzum) and some mayhem and darkthrone
@bistineau3
I agree,
And In Sorte Diaboli is just differente,and its very great.
Galder uses a ESP Arrow in this video ? and Silenoz ?
This guys are great!
@Bpet18 i think its his signature one because its got the massive V. its on the ESP site though.
LOL Galder is such a goof. But most talented guy in band by far.
Love these guys!!!!!!!
If Im not mistaken Galder is wearing a Grave shirt, amazing death metal band.
Los mejores Guitarristas del Black Metal 💘💘✋✋✋🎵🎵🎵🎵
Indeed
I wonder how they manage these distortions so perfect!
Larga vida Dimmun Burgir
jajajajjaa wtf?
1:22 so beautiful
Go to "Ihsahn & Samoth" video to see how to play guitar in black metal.
Great riffs!
nice t-shirt Mr, Galder
They bod have signature ESP guitars.
Galder is one of the best black metal composers ¬¬ whats the matter with how he looks?
Una pasada!!! 🤘🤘🤘
JCM2000 is where it's at man. Also, ENGL are great for black metal too
when i bought in sorte diaboli i already knew it was pretty bad compared to what they had done, but the sinister awakening still makes me feel the dark eerie mood of songs like blessings or reptile, its the only song in the album that does that, wich is sad considering the whole EDT gives you that feeling
they are awesome.
They're the best from Black metal
@christslayer666 yeah, learning dimmu songs, you realize that they're riffs are actually really difficult, esp on the older albums. In Sorte is a great album, just saying that their riffs this time were more thrashy
np:) thank yoy for the conversation too m8 :)
@skekord okay thanks. and btw, your three is equal to the Italian three (both are written tre).
@666Havers They have Been using ESP guitar for 3 years now. They haven't used Jackson since death cult Armageddon
@MrAndyman290 Thanks, I watched some Norwegian guy's video on how to count in Norwegian and got it. :)
@downfan1 Its straight into the amp they have great amps
Pickups and amps is all they use.
good video
very interesting
Galder's sound has a more defined attack to it. Thanks too Randall, which I swapped my Marshall JVM for XD
Que temaso Legalise 👏
Mr. Galder save Dimmu Borgir of a long fall
Lol :D slap yourself for that shit you wrote.
on the contrary, it is its ruin
how would watchin this help? its still like AHHHHH
awesome ,european pride
Yep
well.... playing D# or even D makes the guitar sounds much heavier whole sound changes... but believe me ... when active pickups the sound goes 100% insane..... with passive pickups you can't make so heavy sounds, architecture is completely different and they don't use a preamp...... well just go to a local music instruments store and ask to play with a guitar with these pickups and you will understand what i mean:)
respect the riff
Galder has a strange way of holding his picking hand if you ask me. Looks like he is doing sweeps :P
Yeah they got fired... Silenoz explains all of it on the Dimmu website, but basically they were in it for the money and not the music
@shinodal3 D standard
@kajthrashman Their both good brands, just more metal bands use ESP more. But Jackson has good quality in their guitars.

Wait, what? Silenoz is wearing a Manticore t-shirt.
some new ESP models (2009) use SD too as well:) i haven't heard about it sorry:(
well i wouldn't buy a guitar shaped like that:p i got really used to strat shape for over 15 years:P i own an ESP m3 Deluxe (Custom shop) :) can't get used easily to play on V or V Like shaped guitars:/ but well... all this is a matter of taste. how you got used and what sound you like better:)

Astennu's leads on Spiritual Black Dimensions were truly something else.
Styhn I second that. It wasn't the first DB album I bought so when I did finally go back to it, my mind was blown. I respect Galder but Astennu was in a whole other league.
Patrick Veen Gaming and more where did you get this info?
where the hell can i get a cowboy hat like silenoz, rob zombie had one and ive wanted one ever since
sound is something personal.... i am also not really familiar with Randal Amps.... i m kinda more familiar with Laney, and Marshall :) just go there with your distortion pedal.... and check... even the standard E Tunning could Satisfy you as well:) it's all a matter of taste... :)
