massive respect to the sound engineer
100%
1000%
No kidding , this is incredible from that perspective
Who does what exactly? Seems to me EVERYONE here deserves massive props
You mean the sound crew, probably the most astonishing and most talented anywhere, combining electronic instruments and a whole orchestra, not to mention the adjustments on the choir mics... And totally spot on!
We have to admit though that there are some post production, in studio, adjustments... Nevertheless, still amazing
When your budget covers a whole f___ing orchestra AND choir, instead of using backtracks.... I got the chills!
I was surprised as well. Was not expecting a choir. Granted, no band can support a full orchestra and choir on tour, but as a one-off, that's pretty cool.
But still Vortex sing this better than choir
@TriVos Ahren I wouldn't just, but I feel you.
Honestly don't think they made money off this gig but they sure made an impression on the metal scene
@Themgoroth616 actually, Abrahadabra fared pretty well sales wise, even compared with In Sorte Diaboli. And they had orchestral pieces and a conductor for Eonian, just that they wanted to do something different.
Some people think metal is trash. here's proof that metal can be a sophisticated genre. These guys have a live choir and an Orchestra.
true
love
Metal in general has always been a sophisticated genre from the very beginning.
That's why it has been unfairly criticized, censored and even banished.
Small minds will try to erase/diminish what they can't understand.
@@-Vitalis- you are very right
Love this comment. Felt like it was ripped from my brain
As much as I like how Vortex sings THAT part, I'm glad they didn't try to replace him with a singer who would try to copy him and instead went with something different. The choir was majestic.
but oh man, how i miss his version. I defenely agree, this chorus was a great alternative, no wannabes or whatsoever.
I would pay good money to see Dimmu Borgir with a full orchestra and choir.
Only with Vortex
@@serioussi can't u get over vortex?
@@Florin_A Judging by the comments here no a lot of people can't get over that.
So it is written, Kyle Borne, and so it shall be done.
@@Florin_A no, because vortex was better than that entire choir!
It must be killing those opera singers to not bang their heads.
Amazing that an entire choir can not replace one man.
Agree
They love vortex so much, they knew that it will take an entire choir to try and replicate what he did for the band.
few know he was an great Opera singer, educated singer as well. In my "community" he`s a legend! And a hero musician
For all saying the choir couldn't match Vortex:
Did it ever occur to you that perhaps they were going for a choir sound instead of a soloist sound because, I don't know, they had an entire choir at their disposal and wanted to use that instead of attempting to recreate something that nobody would be satisfied with anyway? In terms of power and clarity, yes the choir doesn't match up (also not loud enough - engineering issue) but could Vortex sing all parts at the same time? - no, I don't think so.
Comparing Vortex's ability vs the choir's ability isn't the same as comparing Vortex's purpose in the original track vs the choir's purpose during this performance.
Honestly people just miss Vortex that's all there is to it.
Toprak Koç completely understandable. i miss his vocal contributions too. but we mustn't be blinded by our sentiments :)
Finally, a smart comment on the matter! Nicely put.
Vince De Leon uhhh wut?
Shut up!!!!!
My eye teared up a bit during the second half of the song, and that rarely happens. Such dedication, such perfection. The big orchestra working with dimmu borgir as one. We grew up listening to them. Absolutely beautiful.
I got shivers/goosebumps too during some parts. So epic
To this day it amazes me that a band that would be casted aside for back in the day by how ridiculous it sounded compared to the trend can slap it back in a haters face and get an entire orchestra to back them during a live set. For y'all who say this isn't metal, do yourself a favor and learn the value of music. Because being able to pull this sound off is world crushing and high class
When was Dimmu Borg "casted away"? They were always one of the largest black metal bands. They aren't considered one of the second wave Norwegian black metal bands, like Mayhem, Emperor, Satyricon, Immortal are though, and they don't sound like those bands, so it's pretty normal for people that enjoy that type of metal to not automatically enjoy Dimmu Borgir too, because is just another thing all together, but they were always a huge band.
@@smurfk2144 I've heard many people call this ridiculous just because it isn't recorded with a toaster and has more than 3 chords lol
Even a whole Choir cant pass that sentiment like Vortex's voice did - in short words he is Irreplaceable
Fuckin A right! I met this band back in 99. I worked a venue they played at for the Spirtual Black tour. They are all awesome people. I got see and hear Vortex warm up his vocals. He brought me to tears with how he sings. Too bad he is not with the band anymore.
+1
Even a choir of a hundred voices can't match the epic voice of Vortex!
Don't tell my wife I wrote this, but Dimmu Borgir is the best thing to come out of Norway.
We need more dimmu Borgir
I have always loved classical and metal. They actually go hand in hand. So complex and thoughtful!! This was fantastic!!
It takes a whole choir to almost sound as epic as Vortex... check out live in texas 2003 I think, the guy owns the epicness.
The battle raged on and on
Fuelled by the venom of hatred for men
Consistently, without the eyes to see
By those who revel in sewer equally
We, the prosperity of the future seal
Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind
Born to capture
The essence of the trails of our kind
Zero tolerance must be issued forth
Behind the enemy's line
So it shall be written
And so it shall be done
Zero tolerance must be issued forth
Behind the enemy's line
So it shall be written
And so it shall be done
The battle raged on and on
Fuelled by the venom of hatred for men
Consistently, without the eyes to see
By those who revel in sewer equally
We, the prosperity of the future seal
Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind
Born to capture
The essence of the trails of our kind
Discover and conceive the secret wealth
And pass it unto your breed
Become your own congregation
Measure the sovereignty of its invigoration
We, who not deny the animal of our nature
We, who yearn to preserve our liberation
We, who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire
We, who aspire to the truth and pursue its strength
Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare
Fearing all the mediocrity that they possess?
Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might
Reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours?
Consider the god we could be without the grace
Once and for all
Diminish the sub principle and leave its toxic trace
Once and for all
This is truly a masterpiece. I love everything about this. If you don't know Dimmu Borgir, don't complain about Dimmu Borgir. They are legends.
My boss asked me to turn the volume down, I fired him.
I did that before. Now I am a bagger
Not even kidding.. if i was standing there in the front , i would literally have a seizure only because of the fact that the music is so intensely amazing i cant even explain.. my whole body shivers when i listen to this after a lot of days just like when a drunkard gets a bottle of alcohol after a lot of days of soberiety.
You miss ICS Vortex more when you realize the fact that massive choir can't give you the same pleasure that ICS Vortex gave you.
***** of course Vortex is better. He put his heart and soul into his music. This orchestra just wants a paycheck.
This is A ROCK SHOW WORTH PAYING FOR.
except it's metal
@@snoflicka 🤓
Literally the best Symphonic Black Metal song ever.
3:31 "My job here is done"
god job.
jajajajajajja
great comment dude hahahahahaha
This is why metal is the best genre of music
Stupid excited kid comment haha.
what a proffessional work. It must be appreciated, even if you dont't like the vocals, or black metal itself.
This is the result of thousands of hours of work
Exactly! It must be at least respected.
Like any concert is actually.
Vortex was one of the most important parts in this song. That chorus can't fill up that empty space.
Vortex sucks. get over it
@@MindGamingMantis your mom sucks
@@t0sserlad :,(
Would've been cool if Agnete sang that part since Vortex couldn't.
@@MindGamingMantis lmao the fuck did you just said?
Black metal + Orquesta = Epico
Had about 50 people doing vortex solo .just bring him back 😢
Vortex sounds better.
What a band, what a concert, what a track. I grow up listening to Metal and i started to study a play guitar for this. I remember I discovered Dimmu Borgir at 13, this version of Progenies make me cry, really. Thank U so much
Still the most epic composition in black metal history. IMO.
No joke. I'll add my unpopular opinion that I think the section with the full choir here does the song more justice than the studio version without the choir. I never stop getting goosebumps from that.... as well as the low brass + drums blasting after the spoken word interlude.
@@motopolak yes but ICS Vortex is iconic. Too good to be missed
@@ameliad8055 I agree with everyone, he's iconic because of his unique vocal style and contributions to this era of Dimmu Borgir. But everyone who mentions him always says the same thing: "this version is lame without Vortex" and I simply don't understand that; this performance was insane and I wish I was there to witness it live. All I'm arguing is this version adds a certain richness with a full choir that the original does not. Besides that I totally agree with your original sentiment on the overall composition.
@@motopolakI got you. Both are unique and beautiful in their own ❤
It's hard to headbang when I've got a goblet of wine and a written opera program in my hands.
The production quality is way better than the studio version
The two best genres in music combine: Metal and classical. Perfection.
paste & copy :
Classical music was progressing into metal. All the other stuff is just for the youth or elevators. Try to understand that what is coming together always belonged together
Will never stop returning to this masterpiece.
Fuck it, it can be my funeral song.
Forever
Perfect except one thing: nothing can replace Vortex voice...
true.just fucking true.
This is maybe more than music. If you have listened to this, you have broken all the walls in front of you. And you are lucky person, because, the worst thing that can happen to one person is to die with barriers...
Definitely one of the best song *EVER* composed
Me: I'm in a choir.
Friend: O, that's really nice, what church do you sing?
Me:
you: satanic church
friend: O, ok. Coolio.
This track made me realise classical and metal go perfectly together
Cool concert. I love the theatrical aspect of live metal shows, you don't really get that with other genres of live music.
One of very few Symphonic Metal songs that would bring me to tears. Honestly the music is that good to me.
I come back to this every few months. This performance, this show, this entire spectacle, was absolutely fantastic. Toss a beer to your sound engineer, too.
I bought it off iTunes. My Air Pods don’t stand a chance.
i believe there are no ways to have a cooler metal concert than having a full orchestra and choir as part of the concert
Me encanta Dimmun Borgir de sus primeros años!! pero debo admitir qué en este concierto y tocando con está orquesta sinfónica les quedó sencillamente genial y majestuoso.🎹🎻🎻🎶🎼
I am glad that Uncle Fester from The Addams has found his true self as a guitarist for Dimmu. Galder is awesome.
Slipknot : we hav 9 members
DB : ok
Check out my HQ remaster of official video!

Kinda amazing how a black metal band can get big enough to have a full live orchestra perform with them
In norway musicians are very opened mind. Check out Satyricon with an orchestra
@@caiodbs I believe he's referring to the amount of money they have to pay to the musicians.
0:32 - So nice of Keanu Reeves taking time out of his busy schedule to be part of this fantastic performance
Hahaha I love the orchestra...
LOL....I thought Severus Snape immediately!!!
I once saw him kill three men in a bar... with a pencil. With a fucking pencil. I mean who does that.
ICS Vortex requires an entire fucking choir to substitute. His voice is fucking powerful. He does not need a microphone.
...and dude on the xylophone is KILLING IT. Go xylophone guy.
10/10 Xylophone guy going ham.
When is he playing?
I love the faces of the orchestra, they are loving this shit lmao
Metal is the modern Classical ;)
0:33 the most evil, black metal violinist hands down!! XD
@Dragostea Din Tei wtf? XD , I'm not even gonna ask.
Its Keanu Reeves XD
Did think that there'd be comments like this when I first saw this vampire 😁
He probably got laid regularly in music school.
I'd definitely spend a day in his form!
Imagine if they had vortex but also that entire choir behind him 😍
That would be beyond epic!
a whole choir couldnt touch the power of ics vortex's voice dude had some nordic god possession in his voice
it's not only music... it's state of the art music...
What do you mean?
Is this the best black metal band of all time!
yes
Wtf!!!
I don't know why, but every time I hear symphonic oriented Dimmu Borgir song - it's automatically make me think about Batman and Gotham City
I remembered Penguin when the Piano piece played
same . . . 😄
Even a choir of people can't challange ICS Vortex's epicness.
0:33 Winter Soldier playing the violin.
Discover and conceive the secret wealth
And pass it unto your breed
Become your own congregation
Measure the sovereignty of its invigoration!
🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
a whole choir can not replace Vortex ;)
A full choir for Vortex's part
Still,unable to fill his gap.
that choir could have millions of people, and still they couldnt replace ICS Vortex
Hail Black Metal! \m/
agree, vortex is irreplaceable.
Vortex is S tier

These guys are awesome. They certainly put on a show.
3:32 one second of glory
0:33 This dude is exactly between classical and black metal, he's vibing haha
That's professor Sneep
У меня побежали мурашки, когда я услышал хор
I had tingles on my body when I heard chorus
The part "become your own congretion, and measure the soveignty of its invigoration" was spetacular.
Quite the contrast here. From a black metal vocalist looking like a demon to a 70 year old man playing trumpet. Amazing.
I'm pretty sure these guys got their own orchestra, if I'm not mistaken. But then again I never really bothered to look into it lololol
one way or the other it's badass
Just watch Satyricon "Live at the Opera" concert.
You would understand that black metal and symphonic orchestra suits each other perfectly 😉
One does not simply hide an orchestra behind an enormous pentagram...
Justified. It's hard to read sheet music with flashing lights on your face
@@boringveil4783 that's one advantage for sure, besides the supernatural power boost of the future seal
I just wanna know the orchestra's thoughts on playing with a metal band. I'm sure most never saw that coming in their career.
Lol, yeah probably not. A lot of the orchestra and choir members are big fans of dimmu borgir.
Imagine Vortex seeing his part and thinking "meh, you did it just ok"
Not even a whole choir can't replace Vortex voice
You know a former member was fucking awesome when it takes a fucking choir to replace them :D
Then you listen to the former members solo album, the album he was always bragging about making, while he was in one of the best bands ever and you sit there and go WTF is this shit?
True but his new band is doodoo
And then you read why he left and it becomes apparent that his new material is irrelevant to why he left ;)
Manager : How many people you need to make this song? Dimmu Borgir: Yes
One of the best songs of Dimmu! Cheers from Finland to our Norwegian neighbours and brothers 🇫🇮🇳🇴🍻🤟
That's why I call this shit the most BEAUTIFUL Black Metal I've ever heard!!
the first song I heard from Dimmu Borgir..
So and my fav song 😍
This song was my first black metal song I've listened when I was in junior high school, this song is masterpiece and memorable for me
Shagrath sounds like an ancient frog from the dark realms. Love it!
“An ancient frog from the dark realms” that maybe one of the most “lord of the rings” descriptions of anything I’ve ever heard 😂… I dig it 🤘
High budget concert, love the sound mixing everything is clear
that sound engineer deserves a fucking statue... just imagine equalizing a full metal band, full orchestra and full choir
I get massive goosebumps and shiver up the spine when I watch this. This whole song is an invocation of ancestors to ensure prosperity. My Danish blood rises to a peak at the lyrics.
Thanks for the camera man
For letting us see that
Basically :
1 Vortex is equivalent to a sum of 5 rows of 44 man and woman of high range operal chants.
It sounds better that with Vortex live, and worse than with Vortex on a mastered studio recorded album. Stop being picky and enjoy.
@@lights8811 u got a point though
Despite the fact they mostly sound better than vortex at some performances
Not all the vortex's performances live sound less good
But there is a few live performances that are really bad
But mostly his good live performances surpassed those choir sets
@@komobg6403 Vortex's voice was OK. at best. On it's own it was nothing special. The missing piece of the puzzle is a mastered studio version of songs that Vortex sang but with the choir. IMO the versions with the choir add more depth to the overall sound. Maybe it's just me but I never listen to individual musicians in any band...it take's away from the whole. It's like having a Ferrari but obsessing over the trunk lid being made of cheap plastic. People should not be entitled to a creation they didn't had any part in making.
This is one of the best things I've seen on youtube probably ever.
That crowd, the luckiest mothereffers to ever live, I absolutely envy each and every one of them 🤘
What an absolute masterpiece... HOLY SHIIIITE!!!
Thank you Mustis for this creation!!! 🤘🏼
This is really good live performance, great song. Nice choir and orchestra, but... I don't know, there's something incomplete for me if I don't hear vortex clean voice on this song... 😂
This song is a masterpiece!
I still miss Vortex in this masterpiece ;(
Black Metal is intriguing yet fascinating. The orchestra makes it perfect. Amazing.
This is more akin to symphonic heavy metal than black metal. Technically it can be considered Symphonic black metal but the only black metal influence left is the vocal style. Not so much the way the song is written/played. Their old stuff however... brutal. Puritanical and Spiritual Black Dimension is more of my taste.
I'm not saying it's bad or anything. I like it too for the most part.
Luxurious black metal
Like 3 different worlds smashing into eachother on stage fuck me!!! You got the band looking metal as shit. The orchestra looking fancy and nice. And you got the monk choir all robed up on the other side! And it all works so perfectly! Amazing
Norwegian metal pride!
I am in love just heard this for the first time on good stereo.
This is utterly fucking astounding!!! Can't believe how true to the studio recording this is! How incredible it must have been to see this live!!!
Every single fucking inch of my whole body turned on when the choir came up!
That sounded epic like nothing else.
Feel Lord you cant compare a whole choir with Vortex
Babe
Without a doubt...this is one of the most BRUTAL & HARD HITTING songs I've ever heard...never get tired of listening to it in any of its experimental forms....EPIC METAL!!
People giving thumbs down just miss Vortext in this one... Even the choir does not replace him!
Mind blowing! What a time to be alive 🙏🤘🙏🤘🙏
