Dimmu
Borgir are a Norwegian Black/Goth Metal band. They are not as big a name in
the External scene as Cradle of Filth or Emperor, but are very big to people
who actually listen and respect their type of music. A band that have changed
their line-up dramatically over the years. Vocalist Shagrath first started out
doing drums and vocals for the band while ex-drummer Tjodalv played Guitar and
Silenoz did lead and Vocals. Shagrath then moved to lead and vocals while Tjodalv
took his place behind the drumset and then, the band introduced a new member
to play lead seperately while Shagrath did only vocals. Their first album, For
All Tid, was made when the band was at an average age of 16. It is truly amazing
what the Norwegianers pulled off at such a young age. Their new album, Purrittanical
Euphoric Misanthropia, has just been released. I advise you listn to it if you
are into metal. No matter what type of metal, you'll like this album.
