 Good music like always

| Black Metal is evil a putrid. Thats how it needs to be. However the whole christian hate is really over done. Do they, on lyrics, have nothing better to write about? And honestly why would a band strike against a non strict religon? Why not write about killing muslims? Meh, anyways good music...need to be more creative with lyrics. If you want that I say look into viking metal, they have some good stories to tell. |

 To Much Symphony

| I love Dimmu Borgir and this is my least favorite album by them. The albums before this (Stormblast and For All Tid) were nearly flawless in the terms of raw black metal albums. The symphonic elements of this album stand out too much for my liking. There are some great songs on this but i'll choose to listen to other releases by them over this. I have to be in the mood to listen to this album. |

| when i bought this album, i was blown away. i had set aside two hours so i could listen to it two times straight through. every song is really awesome on it. and the production is amazing(its better than the next albums production. for some reason, the production quality is worse on that album). you can hear the instruments and the work together instead of run together. a perfect album. i recommend it for any fan of symphonic black metal. |

Dimmu Borgir's Best Album
Submitted on: 2007-04-25 |
|
Considered to be one of Dimmu Borgir's best albums to date (if not THE best), as well as one of black metal's most memorable and popular releases ever, Enthrone Darkness Triumphant (EDT) has found semi-regular play in my stereo since I first purchased the album years ago in 1998. From the moment you hit the play button EDT is an utterly enjoyable listen from the haunting yet epic synth intro to 'Mourning Palace', to the blast beats and crushing brutality of 'Master of Disharmony', and finally to the mellow and supremely melodic 'A Succubus in Rapture'. This album is an impressive listen from beginning to end and is second to no other Dimmu Borgir release to date, unless of course you want to consider their second full-length release and masterpiece, Stormblåst (not the 2005 re-release which is interesting, but not as good as the original recording). I'd be hard pressed to pick my favorite of the two.
On this album Dimmu Borgir deliver a yummy black metal cookie drenched in synthesizer icing goodness. I guess if I had to be nitpicky and find something to complain about it's that the keyboards on this recording tend to slightly drown out the instruments. On the other hand the keyboards on this album are, for lack of a better word, AMAZING. Therefore, I can't really complain about the keyboards being so prominent. Take a listen to 'In Death's Embrace' and you'll know what I mean. A lot of bands today throw around the word "epic" but you don't know epic until you've heard 'In Death's Embrace' - not to mention the keyboard in the chorus of 'Mourning Palace'. You also get a lot of eerie, mysterious, sorrowful, and downright haunting keyboard interludes throughout the album. The production on EDT is top notch and crystal clear. All the instruments stand out aside from the bass guitar which tends to get drowned out, but not all the time. It could be that my sterero sucks.
Shragrath's vocals are really nothing all that spectacular and quite frankly he's never really stood apart from the crowd in my opinion. He's not bad, his style just doesn't stand out to me, like say Abbath from Immortal or Dani from Cradle of Filth. *ahem*. Now don't get me wrong here - I'm not saying Dani Filth's voice is better, I'm just saying it's interestingly (and annoyingly to some) different. But it's the music of Dimmu Borgir that makes them what they are. As for the drumming, guitars, and bass all I can say is all the elements of this band mesh well together and I'll leave it at that. Just stop reading and go buy this damn album if you haven't already. You'll love it. |

Black Metal?
Submitted on: 2007-02-26 |

| Enthroned Darkness Triumphant is Dimmu Borgir showing off their Wagnerian bombastic version of symphonic extreme metal in top form. The band sounds their most ferocious and inspired on this album, and songs like "Spellbound (By The Devil)" show their heavy-metal songwriting sensibilities. This band is blasted as being "not black metal" because they incorporate more traditional verse/chorus/verse elements, but this is where Dimmu Borgir truly shine, as with fellow Scandinavian terrors Immortal (and to a far, far, far lesser extent, Cradle Of Filth), that is to say, they excel at throwing a fresh coat of ice-cold blood and corpsepaint on rock & roll, rather than (re)creating the grim sonicscapes of real black metal bands. |
