Norway`s finest, DIMMU BORGIR, strike back with their ninth opus "Abrahadabra", and it is their most elaborate and thrilling effort so far!
The follow-up to the highly acclaimed "In Sorte Diaboli" which was released in 2008, shows Dimmu Borgir in a new but even stronger formation. Keyboarder Mustis and Bassist/Vocalist Vortex had left the band earlier this year. This seemed to be a tragic loss at first glance, but the band will show everyone with this new record that they are stronger then ever now.
A complete orchestra was used for the recording of the album, which gives it an unbelievable epic and mystique sound. Combined with the great guitar work, the blasting drums and the dark and harsh vocals done by vocalist Shagrath, who’s on top of his game at this album, Dimmu Borgir create what will surely be a massive influence to the complete Black Metal scene.
Once again, Dimmu Borgir have proven that they are the undeniable kings of the genre. This record will be an instant classic!
"Majestic, evil, pompous, everything that makes Dimmu Borgir the elite of the pact…"
Markus / Inferno Finland
"Expect the unexpected from a band that re-invented themselves doing their best album in years, making a statement that they are alive and kicking more than ever!
They are going to surprise you!"
Inaki / Metal Hammer Spain
"Their most ambitious work to date, mixing orchestral splendor with ruthless fury. Massive, dramatic, epic!"
Peter / Legacy Germany
"The band comes back even stronger with their symphonic tendencies, adding the mighty force of the orchestra to their already symphonic structures.
It is bombastic, but also extreme!"
Jessica / Rock One France
