THIS is what it's all about! Discovering this kind of brilliance. And something I would have NEVER watched before.
And I was up all night trying to figure out what these guys remind me of (costume wise). The Slayers from KRULL 1983!
Tommy Aldridge - Crying in the Rain reaction next?
They performed the song GATEWAYS at this same concert ft. Cruella De Vil as guest vocals
I loved that movie as a kid! I'm going to have to go and rewatch it now xD
If you want to hear some intense drumming, I'd recommend "Vredesbyrd" and "The Chosen Legacy" by the same band. The drummer on the latter was Hellhammer (aka Jan Axel Blomberg, of Mayhem fame) and he's an absolute beast of a drummer.
Check out Gateways from the same concert!
This concert was televised on state TV for free. Norway is Metal!!
Wow! Haha
Damn, didn't know this. It just makes this whole project that much better!
It also was the Norwegian Radio Orchestra playing. There's a great documentary about the rehearsals on the dvd.
Meanwhile, here in the UK, metal it totally ignored (even though it sells well) - except for ONE radio show late at night! I wish our tv was as welcoming to metal as Norway/Scandinavia is.
This concert was fucking rad. I come back to it every now and again.
took a whole choir to replace the stunning vocals of Vortex
HAHA
@@AndrewRooneyDrums ICS vortex was the bassist and did backup vocals in the band , his voice is one of a kind
@@odedeliyahu1756 still is in borknagar
@@AndrewRooneyDrums see for yourself mate. ICS Vortex (previous backup singer) is Better than that whole choir (and the choir is great). You’ll be stunned.
@@Justin_Anvil Right on man. Vortex has a godly voice.
As a Swede, im always proud to see our scandinavian ways of music being reacted to. Norway is the Black Metal powerhouse, Sweden has the famous "Gothenburg sound" and has always been leading in Death Metal, Finland is the home of the melodic metal/powermetal. We are a big metal community here up north, nice to see you falling into it :)
Is it maybe because it's cold and dark that you make this music?? Xd
@@marnegro8079 A canadian musician once answered when asked just how he makes so much music "It's cold where I live. I don't like the cold. Hence, more music."
You guys rock. I'm a middle-aged American, but mostly listen to Scandinavian metal recently, like Dimmu, Satyricon, Emperor (Norway), Watain (Sweden), and Fintroll, Ensiferum (Finland).
Just shout if you want some band tips!
Inte glöm Finland, dom har jävla mycket bra också, hälsning från Norge ;)
As a Norwegian, Dimmu Borgir (the band that performed here) is one of Norway's prides.
Ugh that's so awesome to read! I know very few people that's into Dimmu Borgir that I'm tempted to go to Norway. I love them. Many thanks to Norway for giving the world such an amazing band.
@@limzby1 yw
i'm Italian, i listen to Dimmu Borgir since 2001, when Puritanical... comes out, and when all my Trve bm friends said Dimmu is a band of posers, i always defended them, for me is one of the best metal band ever, trve or not trve, (cringe) they wrote some excellent music
Norway has alot of good metal bands though. And they tend to veer towards the experimental. Bands like Leprous, Madder Mortem and post black metal like Ulver. Compared to Swedish metal its abit more grandiose and symphonic I feel. You don't hear alot of those extravagant chromatic melodies in swedish metal.
@@enricomadrigal9168 The Italians in Rhapsody of Fire is pretty good. Very cheesy. But pretty good.
Dimmu released that entire album with just the orchestral version. Quite great! I still can't believe this song is fast approaching twenty years old... oof.
That's crazy
The orchestral score is quite amazing, almost like too much to fit in with a metal band on top, later Russ Russel live mixes that bought the guitars up changed the whole feel of it again. Access to highly skilled but cheap eastern european orchestra made such a huge undertaking possible.
Andrew: I wasn’t expecting a full orchestra here
Me: wait til he gets a load of the choir :D
😂👌💯
And they STILL dont hold a candle to Vortex's vocals, his voice is another level. Miss him with these guys.
Dimmuborgir is a volcanic landscape in Iceland, literally means "dark castles". Mance Rayder's wildling camp in Game of Thrones is filmed there.
With you being a drum teacher, i would definitely recommend listening to "The Mourning Palace".... especially the live version which is of similar quality, but the drumming is next level!
So, 'Crazy Norwegian' here (and a Dimmu-fan).
The Orchestra is called KORK, and is our equivalent of your BBC Radio Orchestra, and the choir is called Schola Cantorum; both are also on the album this track/concert is from. On past albums, Dimmu has incorporated orchestral / symphony music as well, some of it arranged and composed by members of the band.
Another Norwegian blackmetal band, Satyricon, has done a similar thing where they did a show at the National Opera in Oslo, featuring the National Opera Choir. Do recommend. :)
Wow🖤 Black Metal Rules! 🔥🙌
Congratulations on witnessing one of the greatest live performances of all time.🤘
Use of memes is always on point😂🤘🏼
In the pocket 😂
HAHA thanks Brendan LOL
Dimmu Borgir are one of the bands that sit right in my sweet spot, musically speaking. Yes, its metal as balls, obviously, but compositionally speaking, they give respect and space to classical and baroque elements, their tunes have movements, darkly majestic, epic movements, like a classical piece. They understand how to write music that has a rich, deep texture, with moments that soar, moments that build to crescendo finishes that smash you off your feet. In a period where so many artists and bands were writing one dimensional groove based, low effort trash, these guys were summoning the souls of dead composers to collaborate with, in a darkened cellar in the frozen northlands. This precise song exemplifies everything about the flavour of metal I prefer.
The song mourning palace has more shots of the orchestra and a lot are wearing corpse paint and really getting into things.
A lot were very happy to be there.
I bet! Super fun
Dimmu Borgir was my favourite band growing up.. the amazing fact that most people miss is that the "keyboardist" Mustis actually composed the entire orchestral arrangements for their older tracks by himself.
You know that band and choir is like...FINALLY! Something other than Beethoven!
HAHAHAHA Love it Benny!
Clicked this one SO DAMN FAST! What a track! Wooooo
Great!
Norway has a tendency to use their orchestras for stuff that seems really out of the ordinary. Our main gvt funded TV station (NRK) has its own symphony orchestra (called Kringkastingsorkesteret (broadcast orchestra) or often just KORK, and they're involved with a lot of live acts that are filmed in Norway. It's always cool when they join in. I imagine being an artist here and being asked "hey, you want to do a concert with a freaking state funded amazing orchestra? No charge, friend, we got you covered." feels pretty great.
The only reason stuff like this happens is due to our gvt funded orchestra, cause a production like this is prohibitatively expensive for pretty much every artist working today, inside and outside of Norway. You just can't use orchestras like this on the regular. It's really awesome when it happens, and this song was bad-ass. I don't even like Dimmu Borgir.
Not drum-based, but you can check out 'Aurora - It Happened Quiet' live from Nidarosdommen for another example of orchestras showing up to make things amazing. I dare you not to cry.
That just sounds really cool, from a guy in Aus. Just turning up somewhere to watch a live gig and an orchestra is there.
5:26 - ICS Vortex is bigger than a thousand choir voices. Nuff said!
Bigger than 45 singers that have their volume mixed down, of course
some people need to get over it
You should watch "Satyricon with the Norwegian National Opera Chorus". Same kind of stuff. Black Metal + Opera Chorus
My all-time favourite concert!!
Oh Hell yeah!!
Yes Mother North
Phoenix!!!
See phoenix from that show.
Dude, watching you discover new types of metal makes my black heart swell. LOVE YOUR CONTENT!
YESSSS
I gotta say, I loved the old school Dimmu with Nick Barker on drums (he also did an awesome job for Cradle of Filth), but this performance is on a whole other level. Man I would have loved to be there.
If you haven't already, a drum teacher I'd love to see a video of you reacting to Dimmu Borgir's "Absolute Sole Right". Barker killed that!
Thanks for the tip!
This whole show is amazing and there are segments inbetween the bands songs with just the orchestra and choir playing and its AMAZING :D
I saw them play this in Atlanta at the tabernacle in 08. Awesome show.
Symphonic metal at it's finest
Yes Jeff!
@jesper Fnatic I wouldn't call THIS song black metal.
@Alegro -Yotuber symphonic black metal.. black metal is stuff like Tåke, Carpathian forest and dark throne etc.
Excellent band and album and song. Saw them with Hellhammer on drums. Was a great show!
Same, in like 2007 or 2008. Dude's a legend. Seen him with Mayhem three times.
Excellent Craig!
Hellhammer is a good drummer but the tracks Nic Barker laid down with Dimmu are legendary. Death Cult and Puritanical are amazing albums. Definitely the best version of the band
Yeah, Hellhammer is one of my fav. but he can’t play Nick Barker. Just wasn’t working and it was all over the place. What Barker did for Dimmu was just world class drumming with his personal touch.
@@Jashtvorak the first time I head “For the World to Dictate Our Deaths” my fucking brain melted
Goosebumps! All the time! Such a great classic DB song 🤘🏻
Love it!
You should watch The Gateways while your at it.
Thanks for the tip!
I second this motion!!
Man, seeing reactions to songs from this concert brings back a lot of memories.
I was there and it was a mesmerizing experience to say the least! The band, a full choir and KORK playing with a suprisingly low volume considering the genre they play. Almost 10 years later and it is still in my top 3 best concert experiences ever!
I remember buying Dimmu Borgir record in 1997, this was years before the band took off big time. But I knew already then that Dimmu is going to be something special.
🙌
This is the music I was trying to learn when I started drumming.
hehe Good luck!
I've read quite a few articles and interviews with the classically trained musicians that have taken part in Dimmu Borgir's live shows, Metallica's symphonic performances, and even some metal-themed orchestral tribute performances, and all of them were stoked! It's about the spirit of the music, right? We all have our preferences but true musicians love music.
I'm a violinist and have played in several orchestras. I'd die for this experience
@@natashka1982 I respect you. :) and I'm glad that metal appeals to you. It's a genre with so much depth.
@@moodybastard170 I've been a metalhead for the past 28 years :)
@@natashka1982 Ahhhh...well, I stand corrected, then. :) So, if you could play violin with any metal band...which one would it be?
For those of us that headbang to anything from Stravinsky to Varttina, this is just a natural progression. Cool. I liked it!
I feel like people in that orchestra were like "holy shit, this actually works" one of the reasons I love black metal.
95 people on stage during this concert.
Crazy!
I was actually at that concert, when they played with the orchestra in Oslo
they were great live.
😮🤯
My favourite band, but I wish there were some great drumming videos of their 2001 to 2003 drummer Nicholas Barker. His speed and technique are legendary. I highly recommend checking out their 2001 album "Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia" to hear his excellent and intense drumming (It's my favourite album of music).
Yeah. He should do a reacts to Nick Barker video. That guy is one of the best.
Best drummer Cradle and Dimmu ever had
I'm sure I'll get to him!
Cradle of Filth - Dusk... and her Embrace. In my humble opinion it features Nick’s best drumming ever. Original, tight, extreme, awesome. That whole album is soooooo good, best metal album ever in my book. The atmosphere.... Wow. Like a horror movie put to music.
If you haven’t heard it before: dim the lights, get yourself an entire pot of coffee, lock the doors and put that album on. Front to back without interruptions. You’ll be hooked.
Nick’s only problem is: every band he leaves turns to absolute crap 😂
The first time I heard “For the World to Dictate Our Deaths” I couldn’t believe anyone could play that fast....
Hey Andrew, so happy you're amazed by the intersection off classical and black metal influences. I think another great example is this rendition of Die By My Hand by Satyricon, with the Royal Norse Opera Chorus th-cam.com/video/bLe6nN9F46w/w-d-xo.html. A lot of black metal, especially those within the second wave of Norwegian Black Metal (inc. the big three: Dimmu Borgir, Emperor and Satyricon) used a lot of synth sounds to emulate the sounds that the choir vocalises here.
What I find very interesting is that Satyricon was invited by the Chorus to participate in a special live event, which sounded great. Both parties were very excited for this project. There is a lot of mutual respect visible during this concert. In other songs there are parts where you can see the conductor just 'give up' and hand the choir over to the analogue atomic clock named Frost beating on the drums.
Thank you Luuk!
done right, classical and black metal is joined in harmony 🤘
I love this song. I can't believe I've never heard this version before. Amazing.
🙌
Dimmu is the shit!!!! That would be the coolest live show ever!!
OMG. This would have been amazing to see
I love this track. I would also recommend "Gateways" from the same show. They bring up eclectic Norwegian vocalist Agnete Kjolsrud from Djerv and Animal Alpha and she completely holds her own even with the 150 other musicians blaring their wares. It's amazing. And for a different side of symphonic metal, there are a ton of tracks by Nightwish you might want to check out. Any live version of Ghost Love Score from a set with Floor Jansen as singer is a suitable intro to the band. And there's a wonderful drumcam video from behind their current drummer, Kai Hahto which is fun to see him barely breaking a sweat through most of it and whipping out some insane fills at the end.
gateways is another great one by them!
Thanks Taylor!
When there's almost as many people on stage as there are in the crowd.
Yup!
The keyboardist in this band is from the same place as me and he went to school with my sister. I've met him a few times and he is a really nice guy. Other than the long hair and a bit 'rocked' style of clothes you wouldn't guess he did this kind of music. He is also involved in other musical stuff WAY off this. Very talentet guy, as the rest of the band.
I think Dimmu Borgir also played Wacken, a rather large Metalfestival in Germany with an Orchestra and during I think there is a footage of on the Orchestra members enjoying himself so much they put him on the great monitors next to the stage.
Haha yea the trombone player!
Getting to see a first reaction to this band is amazing! Ive taken for granted growing up with them.
That's awesome Steven! Thanks for watching
More is more. Great reaction. Thanks for the vid.
i grew up in kolbotn. the home of dimu. they had there "band room" 1 mile from my front door.
Oh wow!
Wow, this was an incredible performance. I've never thought about seeing Dimmu Borgir in concert before, but after a year of quarantine this would be amazing. Sooo gooodd!!
Yes It'd be a great show to see live!
They're really great live, they were a highlight of Hellfest 2018 for me
Dimmu Borgir - Gateways from the same concert is a must !!!!
Hey Andy! Thank you for this vid. As a long-time Dimmu Borgir fan, your reactions made me happy. If you're not too tired of listening to Black Metal, I'd humbly suggest a song called "Curse You All Men" by Emperor. Legendary drummer Trym will blow your mind... Cheers from Brazil!
I was there! Awesome concert!
Oh wow
It's been a long time since I was expecting a reactor to do this video!, Congrats Mr. Rooney, you are the first. AWESOME!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Love your channel and finally you found som deep and dark black metal. We have soo mutch to show you from Scandinavia 👏🤘
Thanks Erik!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums you have already listen to nils fjellstrom and tomas haake who are my personal heroes but when time listen to one of Nils bands aeon and the album bleeding the false. That one is epic. As I have said before chastisement, another pace is absolutely perfect. Nils at age 18-19.
Oh man, that was a good laugh
AMAZING MIRACLE
Yes :)
There is a dimmu borgir concert in Waken where one guy in the orquestra is hearing a corpse paint on his face and headbanging to the music as well as playing the trombone! 😎
Thank you for a great reaction :) However, I beg of you: react to Satyricon Mother North Live At The Opera. One of the most intense drumming maratons I have ever seen.
Thank you for the recommend!
great patreon pick! took me just a couple videos to subscribe the chanel...hehe embrace the metal comunity! greatings from Portugal
Hey Fabio!
This might be a drummer video but when the orchestra is playing Forte their precision and presence is outstanding AF.
I love Dimmu Borgir! Their arrangements are so awesome!
I wanna play Diablo 4 right now!
Yes man, DIMMU goosebumps
So good Fabrice!
There is so much extreme classical music, take Wagner for example,that it can quite easily be linked to extreme metal music. There are no boundaries. Genres like this can definitely be put together,they are both amazing !!!
Such a great combo Andy
I suspect the main reason Wagner didn't include double bass, distorted guitars and high pitched growls to his work is that they were not invented yet.
Not watched this but 17 year old me is buzzing. Had a few drummers in the last few years, wish there was extensive nick barker footage to check out.
Can't wait to see more of Nick Barker!
66samus covers alot of Barker's Dimmu songs
dimmu also did a show like this at Wacken 2012 with the Czech philharmonic orchestra which is awesome to watch as well
I need to get back to more of this!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums yes please!! Or if you can you should check out their song The Insight And The Catharsis, not sure if they ever played it with an orchestra though
Man! I must say your channel is what I've been looking on react channels, but I didn't know I was looking for until now, a really nice dude (you!), memes, and great reaction filled with humor and memes, I can't help myself, you just got a new subscriber! (=
Thank you! 🙏
You're welcome! I just give you some band recommendations on a few of your videos' comment section, I think you'll like! (=@@AndrewRooneyDrums
Wasnt expecting that one Andrew! great video as always. keep in mind that on this album plus the previous one drums are played by the legendary Nicholas Barker (not the drummer on this performance) which you should do a video some time ;-) keep up the good work!
Thanks George!
I'd love to see the reaction when you learn that song's music was written entirely by their old keyboardist, Mustis.
PS: The Insight and the Catharsis live in Oslo.
I love the picture of that sheep. Mary Had A Grim and Frostbitten Lamb.
Shame thats not a drum oriented vídeo. This concert is AWESOME and some of the members of the orchestra was having a ball during the show. Some even using corpsepaint and singing together.
Dimmu borgir is huge! Love them.
You should try some covers (a Lot of drummers covers theirs songs). My sugestion KINGS OF CARNIVAL CREATION
well the memes are strong. i shall stick around and watch :D
HAHA
Dimmu is the godfather of symphonic black metal!!
👌💯🙌
I'm guessing Kvist would be the grandfathers then, unless I've been misinformed. Apparently that band was a big influence on Emperor, Dimmu and the others who established the genre.
I wrote to you and told you a long time ago that you would love this bad and I am so glad to finally see it even though it took me nine months and my child is born lol jk so glad you're getting this kind of exposure.
Hey there! I uploaded this in April last year...
Congrats on the baby!
Love this live.. Forces of the northern night
I've heard this song before but never put thought to how they would even attempt it live. This is pure....genre dysphoria, its unbelievable in all the right ways.
In all honesty from my experience seeing them live they sound absolutely better in person. One of the best live shows I've seen despite me being a bit intoxicated. Cradle of filth also puts on an amazing live performance as well in my opinion
I clicked on this hella quick! This band is amazing live! You should do Vampire Of Nazareth by Septiflesh live in Mexico. Full orchestra and choir.
Metal + orchestra = Epic music
So Norway, Sweden, general scandanavia is known for "Black metal" which is a subgenre of metal that is very fast and deals with alot of occult subject matter. The music is dark, melodic,orchestral and has a very unique blend of classical/choir music that is mixed with the darkest heaviest most "evil" sounding genre that exists and this is what you get. Dimmu Borgir is not considered pure black metal as they are a little too commercial and the genre is very anti-commercialism , but they do musically fit the note.
I’m commenting on that opening of the show. Bravo and funny as ever, How dare youuuuuuuu!!!!!!
LOL Rob!
Dimmu came into my life in 2000. Theyre amazing. Kings of black Metal
Dimmig Birgit is One of Norvays many black metal bands,One of THE best🤘
They played this on regular TV!
🤣👌
HOWDY FROM NEW ENGLAND..THIS WOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS SYMPHONIC METAL....LISTEN TO HOW CLEAN THAT DOUBLE KICK DRUM WORK IS...GREAT STUFF...PEACE
Yup the drumming is perfect Brian!
You need to watch Mourning Palace from this same concert. Just an earth shattering performance.
Good call. Great song. Incredible performance.
Awesome stuff alright Andrew!
Lol galloping indeed. I think the singer applies some throat singing as well. Truly unique.
If you go deep into Scandinavian music you will find a stunning variety. You will get every genre there is to find and usually with exceptional production all over.
Yup I believe you. Also love Scandinavian cinema
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Katatonia-dead end kings album is mindblowing aswell. Like Opeth they have changed over the years from being very dark at first to explode into so many different genres going absolutley crazy. I love both these bands development and hope they play for many years to come.
I saw them live in pompano beach FL in 100 degree weather. They came out full make up, full leather, and absolutely nailed it. The sweat made their makeup even scarier but it was a fantastic show. True great memory of a past time of my life.
"I think I'm going to lie down after this" - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
HAHA Joshua!
try listening to this song with their old bassist "vortex".. he was the singer of the choir part back then. he managed to sound epic on his own and now dimmu need a whole choir to play through this part ^^
Dimmu has always been in my top 3 since i discovered them years ago, as a young drummer. Vrydesbyrd is the first proper heavy song i ever learned on the drums. Progenies always gets me nice and warmed up.
Black Metal is our most sold cultural export here in Norway. And it's been like that for 30 years.
In the Swedish Nationalencyklopedia Metal is recognized as a genre that is quite complex and features influences from classical music.
Basically the connection between metal and western art music is officially recognized by the state :) . I feel like the connection isnt often made outside of Scandinavia where its seen mostly as that genre Beavis and Butthead listens too.
8:48 Mustis, the keyboardist who composed this, is a classically trained pianist.
If you like this you probably like „Haggard“ as well.
Formerly a Death Metal band it later became more orchestra supported an is really a joy to listen to.
They made concept albums of Galileo Galilei or Nostradamus.
Thank you!
That really got you unprepared... Man.... I am also kicking myself in the butt
Yup really caught me off guard!
The whole show is incredible
The drummer here is Daray - he's good, but the drummer on the original studio version, Nicholas Barker is a drumming beast. Check out the studio version of "Kings of the Carnival Creation" by Dimmu Borgir, or his groove on "Summer Dying Fast" from the "Principle of Evil Made Flesh" by Cradle of Filth to show his versatility.
