just......why ....

TamPron · Post by **TamPron** » 10 Jul 2010, 03:53

That is an odd title

its a crowley reference

ANGEL OF DESEASE · Post by **ANGEL OF DESEASE** » 10 Jul 2010, 03:55

I read the took it from an Aleister Crowley book..........

anyway, the title is gay, but I wait to listen it. I don't understand now who will replace vortex and mustis (

)

no, he was fired. I still don't understand why. Same for Mustis (ex keyboard player)

rhino · Post by **rhino** » 10 Jul 2010, 04:55

he was a big reason why i liked some dimmu songs

ANGEL OF DESEASE · Post by **ANGEL OF DESEASE** » 10 Jul 2010, 04:58

I think Vortex had also a viking-look style that was perfect inside the band, and his cleans vocals were very particular and interesting in many track. Same for Mustis, he was a great keyboard player and a classic member in the line up. I seriously think that D.B did a wrong choice.

Don't know what expecting from this album. But I have a feeling that Silenoz totally lose his inspiration and Shagrath is just almost a pop star.

FUKKET · Post by **FUKKET** » 10 Jul 2010, 05:49

i hope i like the music.

i like me some dimmu now & then

Meat Engine · Post by **Meat Engine** » 10 Jul 2010, 06:39

The departure of Mustis and Vortex was a big he-said-she-said thing. I think the band accused them of being unprofessional, while Vortex claimed Mustis wrote most of the music for the past albums. I don't know. The last song from them that I enjoyed was Allehelgens Død I Helveds Rike from Death Cult Armageddon.

I'll give it a listen since Russ Russel did this one... but musically I stopped listening to dimmu after PEM.

they completely bore me.

FUKKET · Post by **FUKKET** » 10 Jul 2010, 15:47

i think i read this one will have more orchestra again, but that could've been an article about a collab with them & a classical hard-on bearer... i forget..

Mesarthim · Post by **Mesarthim** » 10 Jul 2010, 15:52

I like Vortex but Mustis was the only reason to listen to this band anymore. they'll probably get Kimberly Goss back who is okay.

I somehow doubt this. She's gone too long from the business...

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 10 Jul 2010, 16:20

this band ceased doing anything remotely interesting years before i started listening to them, and that was before any incarnation of MABB existed.

between the lines, PR probably reads, "mediocre inconsequential band with like maybe one founding member left prepares middling new album of little note. available soon at your local hot topic!"

of course, that's not anything particular to DB, it's just the basic boilerplate for most heavy music (ok, most music generally, and extend the range by like 10-20 years if we're going broad on this) produced in the last 10 years. substitute HT for whatever major retailer is appropriate if we're genre-hopping a couple steps.

tl;dr who fucking cares.

vO)))id · Post by **vO)))id** » 10 Jul 2010, 22:32

fukket: yes they used an orchestra of about 60+ people or so... read it in Aardschok magazine here.

methodrone · Post by **methodrone** » 10 Jul 2010, 22:54

it usually takes a band 2-3 albums to reach their pinnacle then wither away musically.

fucking A! hopefully whatever he does next will be awesome like that. even a solo album with just orchestral music would be cool.

Haunty · Post by **Haunty** » 11 Jul 2010, 10:44

I hope he creates his own black metal band, and basically sinks the ship on the rest of Dimmu Borgir. Everything they're famous for is the result of his work, so I hope he keeps doing it the same way. Every Dimmu fan in the world knows that he is Dimmu, and will buy whatever he does next as if it's Dimmu. Especially if he recruits Vortex.

I mean seriously, he could create a much better band than Dimmu just off of their castoffs. Put Nagash on main vocals, Astennu on guitar, Nick Barker on drums, and Vortex doing bass and clean vocals, and you've got yourself a fuckin' lineup.

Mesarthim · Post by **Mesarthim** » 11 Jul 2010, 12:03

that would be hilarious if he got Nick Barker and Vortex.

If he isn't already trying to put this line-up together then he needs his head looked at.

Devy · Post by **Devy** » 12 Jul 2010, 06:04

In spite of being an Old Man's Child fan, I feel that Astennu is the best guitarist Dimmu ever had and they really should have hung on to him.

Meat Engine · Post by **Meat Engine** » 12 Jul 2010, 06:37

I haven't heard any of his work outside of the band. Is it good?

Devy · Post by **Devy** » 12 Jul 2010, 07:02

Fuck knows, I've not heard it either

I looked him up on Wikipedia though and he has been in some other bands, although it now says he no longer plays live and is virtually destitute /w\

astennu did the vocals on the last one (where the music also sounds more like death than black metal)

yep.

I actually really like his first two albums. The last one, maybe not so much.

methodrone · Post by **methodrone** » 13 Jul 2010, 09:35

i dont really care, so what if the keyboard hard-on bearer wrote all the music since 1999? they have sucked since 1994-5. So yeah, he can be proud of putting on the apron and working a few shifts for dummy burgers.

I knew a real fat chick that had Dimmu Borgir posters on her wall,I thought they looked like idiots and would most likely make terrible music.That is all and thank you for your time.

Though yeah hearing some Dimmu Borgir without the awesomeness of ICS Vortex and Mustis will be some sort of 'culture shock' so to speak, I, for one, am actually anxious to hear this...more anxious than I was with the last three Dimmu albums. I'm already convinced that both Silenoz and Galder are amazing kintarists, perhaps by shifting the attention factor onto them to a much more higher level may actually be good for them. A much more guitar oriented Dimmu Borgir...maybe much like their early tr00 black metal days may actually be interesting to hear today.

Maybe without Mustis they'll sound less like Rodgers and Hammerstein.
