@@kikililac yeah i was gonna say.... more generational bias. Not to take away anything from one's enjoyment but to outshine classics such as Enthrone, Stormblast, or Puritanical... i mean, fuck haha. But glad you're enjoying the band friend, it's just always funny to see the generational bias play out, cuz i was just on a thread where a dude was heralding the most recent Nile albums as being their best, when Black Seeds of Vengeance and In Their Darkened Shrines exists haha.

I feel like an old man considering I got into Dimmu from picking up the original Stormblast on cd in a cd store in the basement level of a since closed down mall, 😂

Haha I was still in middle school when this came out. Crazy how time flys. Ngl, I had a love/hate relationship with this album because at the time I was pissed that Vortex/Mustis weren’t in it but now I came to appreciate it.
@@JunkyDruffy this was the album I discovered them with. I remember listening to every song on repeat for a very long time. Honestly those albums are very good but this one will always be my favorite. Just my opinion
this is my first time listening thru the album & I have to say it's not bad if you forget hellhammer, vortex & mustis were fired before it was made. Just treat it like Dimmu before those guys joined the band. I think I will pick this up on vinyl if it is repressed at a reasonable price i think.
@Interdimensional Entity thats nice :) do u know 'ne obliviscaris' ? U should try their album 'urn' but watch out the first track will burn your face off xD 🤘
Never understood the hate for this album. Could they go back and add more metal riffs and drums or keys? Sure but it's such an amazing dark album on it's own. I didn't care for the quest vocals in gateways, rather been another black metal artist. But overall this album is great. Shagarth vocals are top of the game
Being a fan from the 90's, I never understood the hate either, this album was a masterpiece IMO; gets more plays than any other but Puritanical for me.
@@viktormatilcak5078 Rite of Passage, I Am Sovereign, and The Empyrean Phoenix. After a couple listens, I came to like The Empyrean Phoenix a bit. So it’s 3 songs now.
@@erickrodriguez6833 I am Sovereign is the best one for me, I do really like Aetheric and Lightbringer. The Empyrean Phoenix is also great one. Tbh I think rest of the album is also good, but I can't get Interdimensional Summit.

Sadly a lot of die hard Black Metal fans feel that they have sold out, what they don't understand every band goes through a major change through out their career, This is how they keep being creative, some people don't understand that. Even our band we started in L.A. has been acused of being fake, some people take Black metal seriously.
Isnt there a song performed by Dimmu Borgir that also has a connection to Pearl Jam? I'm trying to google it but cant find anything, but I know there exists one, but cant freakin remember it.
Gosto desse album mas acho as orquestrações do puritanical melhores lá, principalmente hybrid stigmata, eu sinto que a mistura de música erudita e metal é mais homogênea nesse album e além disso acho que Mustis e Stian fazem falta pra caramba nos 2 últimos álbuns.
Abrahadadra e Eonion são apenas bons álbuns, agora vá ver a banda tocar esses álbuns live sem orquestra, é um lixo. Álbum bom é aquele que é bom em estúdio e também ao vivo.
Haha i heard this joke from Snowy Shaw! Abra had a bra! For the record, he played bass and back vocals on this album! Then he quits and re joined Therion! Crazy story
DM is probably the only metal band that deserves veritable adulation throughout the years of their existence. Take a listen to the latest album by Slipknot. Ridiculous, plain and simple. .
This is such a far cry from where they started. For all tid, Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, Godless Savage Garden and Stormblåst are all so good! This shit is so corny...
Still In Sorti Diaboli is better than most of their albums. In Sorti Diaboli, Death Cult Armageddon, Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, For All Tid, and Abrahadabra. Those are the best albums IMO.🖤🤘
Dimmu Borgir с каждым новым альбомом скатываются в яму с говном и когда нибудь они в ней утонут..будет такое же дерьмо играть как .ulver. .dodheimsgard. и.т.п. Беларусь.г.орша 29.01.2022.

It's insane that this is almost a decade old. I remember getting this when it came out when I was in highschool. Still my favorite album I ever owned
you will love this then :)

Same. Getting goosebumps and crying to some orchestral lines 10 years later
Haha I was still in middle school when this came out. Crazy how time flys. Ngl, I had a love/hate relationship with this album because at the time I was pissed that Vortex/Mustis weren’t in it but now I came to appreciate it.

BLESSED BE DIMMU BORGIR AND FANS.
Crazy to think that people thought that this album was gonna be bad, it's really good!!
flamengo
I didn't like it near as much as En Sorte Diaboli, but it was pretty solid.
Love this album.
Chess with the Abyss
this is my first time listening thru the album & I have to say it's not bad if you forget hellhammer, vortex & mustis were fired before it was made. Just treat it like Dimmu before those guys joined the band. I think I will pick this up on vinyl if it is repressed at a reasonable price i think.
Gateways is probably my Dimmu's favorite song...
Same here dude
Yeah man, i am really into their older stuff but gateways kind of opened my door for the new stuff. Dimmu rules
fk bushido
@Interdimensional Entity indeed
@Interdimensional Entity nice ones. I really dig abrahadabra too
Edit: ups i meant eonian xD fail ftw
@Interdimensional Entity thats nice :) do u know 'ne obliviscaris' ?
U should try their album 'urn' but watch out the first track will burn your face off xD 🤘
Together with eonian the best albums in my opinion.keep on making this beautiful music.love from holland😃🥰
Endings and continuations ❤️😎
The demiurge molecule..
15 years after.. still insane in my head.
My favorite of them.
Quality and technical album love it
Never heard them before, this is legit good music
We are glad you like it.
Check them live with orchestra .. Insaaaane
Stormblåst is a masterpiece

Well, this album is better than their most recent album, that's for sure.
This is a dammed good album. Don't give a shit about others crying about vortex n mustis not being here.
Being a fan from the 90's, I never understood the hate either, this album was a masterpiece IMO; gets more plays than any other but Puritanical for me.
it's still a masterpiece for me.
Yeah still better than eonian and Death cult armagedon
Great album!
One of the best album of Dimmu!
@MetalReign yea like enonian and misantropi
Мне кажется у них как не композиция, то целая история! Очень сильно!
thanks for the upload
excellent album 🤘
This and Death Cult Armageddon are the best pieces of music I’ve heard 💙🖤
Gay Cult Armageddon is cool, but Puritanical Euphoric Misantropia is better
@@juser-abuser stormblast is way better!!
@@juser-abuserPEM is my third favourite!
My favourite one 🤘😃🤘
While i can't get into eonian at all, i still really like this album even if it is really far away from what they used to be..
Same🤘
I can’t get how people think Eonian is as good as EDT. Eonian is probably their worst album. Can’t get into it at all with the exception of two songs.
@@erickrodriguez6833 which two? Just curious

everytime I hear Gateways, I feel UEFA anthem vibes
\\...Pedazo de Album....//
THKS🖤
M A S T E R P I E C E
Mustis and Vortex will always be missed but is still good though
Dimmu borgir 4 ever🤘🤘🤘
Es increible lo que suenan!!!!!
This album is so fucking brutal.
Este álbum es épico, delicioso
Such an underrated album
The best symphonic black metal album of all time
Still think Emperor takes the cake
While not as amazing as For All Tid, Stormblast, EDT..it is still good.
for all tid isnt That good, cmon let's keep it real.
i honestly think enonian is their best album
after that misantropi maybe then death cult and spiritual and stormblast remix at a third place?
Bruh. This album is way more dark, intense and atmospheric than EDT. It even has a strong symphonic part as EDT
FUCKING GREAT ALBUM!!!!

RITUALIST EXPERT IN THE SOULS .......... !
Some kid I barely knew twelve years ago at a Victorville bus stop: "You ever heard of a band called Dimmu Borgir?"
Now:
Pop music puts lgbtq and moron spells on their listeners. Dimmu Borgir puts good spells on us.

Concordo com você! A orquestração de Eonian está absurdamente maravilhosa! A evolução do Dimmu está evidente!

@23:29 Imagine ICS Vortex singing this
Yes but where did Abra's bra go?
most underrated comment.
Shagrath is wearing it

Move on dude. do you realize how long ago that was??? If u really want to hear him listen to arcturus

Well, recently I realize that DB haven't released realy bad album since EDT until last one(Eonian)....
This is the only dimmu album that I don't like except for a couple songs. Eonian is a huge step forward compared to this.
this is not Dimmu Borgir i used to know... it's poor, soft... it's sad, but R.I.P. Dimmu Borgir ;(
