Dimmu Borgir appreciation thread[views:8508][posts:71]_______________________________ [Mar 26,2006 7:58pm - hoser ""] I fucking love these guys, always have. Great writing to say the least. Massive talent to say the least. I'm sure that the typical naysayers will bomb this thread with their horseshit excuses for why this band sucks, but they don't so....I win. |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 26,2006 8:03pm - KeithMutiny ""] it was an automatic impulse, im sure you understand |
| _______________________________ [Mar 26,2006 8:06pm - hoser ""] I understand....robot. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 26,2006 8:13pm - smart ass ""] Over produced Over polished Over paid and highly Over rated |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 26,2006 9:42pm - sacreligion ""] dimmu rocks my socks |
| _________________________________ [Mar 26,2006 10:07pm - Ryan_M ""] i always liked dimmu borgir; not everything they've done is appealing to me(i thought spiritual black dimensions was horrible; for all tid didn't impress me much either) but they've put out some pretty good stuff. i loved Death Cult Armageddon, enthrone darkness triumphant was awesome too, and stormblast is a fuckin classic. has anyone bought the new "stormblast" album? i'm extremely curious to hear it, but i don't want to spend the money on it and find out i don't like it. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 26,2006 10:10pm - sacreligion ""] it's exactly how you'd think it would be...except some parts of some of the songs have been changed musically as well overall a good album...definitely puts a new twist on an old classic(they could've done without re-recording it...but it's a cool concept nonetheless) |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 26,2006 10:17pm - agrocragotron ""] The new storm blast is awesome.... |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 26,2006 10:41pm - infoterror ""] THE OLD STORMBLAST IS AWESOME HAVEN'T HEARD THE NEW ONE AM DOWLOADING IT NOW LOL <3 THE HUB |
| _________________________________ [Mar 26,2006 10:48pm - Ryan_M ""] yeah i tried downloading it on soulseek, but can't find anyone that has it available. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 27,2006 10:41am - Yeti ""] i absolutely agree that these guys are untouchable. Enthrone Darkness Triumphant is one of the greatest metal works of all time. i dont even consider these guys black metal. the new Stormblast is awesome, of course the old one is the best, but the new one definitely holds a candle to it. it is amazing in its own way. they fucking rule all. |
| _______________________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 12:25pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] It's great if you like keyboards and frilly shirts. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 12:58pm - BlackoutRick ""] Black metal sucks. |

| ______________________________ [Mar 27,2006 1:29pm - Yeti ""] i will have to agree, i wouldnt even consider them black metal. they are in a genre of their own. and black metal definitely doesnt suck, have you heard Craft - Fuck the Universe? or Dark Funeral - The Secrets of the Black Arts? those definitely dont suck |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 2:53pm - sacreligion ""] i hear that wicked wisdom is pretty good too... . . . |
| ______________________________ [Mar 27,2006 3:14pm - Yeti ""] you're out of the band |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 3:16pm - dreadkill ""] wicked wisdom is the most grim black metal i've ever heard. darkthrone looks like raffi compared to wicked wisdom. |
| ______________________________ [Mar 27,2006 3:18pm - Yeti ""] i heard wicked wisdom the other day for the first time. it was the audio equivalent of having a glass rod broken in my urethra. in fact i would rather that than listen to that rubbish again. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 3:20pm - BornSoVile ""] probably the most over rated band in the history of metal. |
| ______________________________ [Mar 27,2006 3:24pm - Yeti ""] no that title goes to Cradle of Filth |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 3:30pm - xmikex @ work ""] i could stomach some of their old old stuff off Stormblast (if I'm thinking of the right album). But Enthrone Darkness... was without a doubt one of the dumbest purchases I ever made. I think I maybe listened to the whole thing twice. Once when i first bought it, and a second time to make sure I hadn't accidentally bought an Enya cd. Then I saw them live, and both my testicles burst instantly. I just can't deal with this band. Emperor 'In The Nightside Eclipse' > everything Dimmu |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 3:31pm - sacreligion ""] dude that title totally goes to metallica...they've officially sucked longer than they were good |

Emperor 'In The Nightside Eclipse' > everything Dimmu i agree. everything emperor > everything dimmu. dimmu is not even close to emperor's level. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 3:49pm - sacreligion ""] it varies for me...i'm usually pro-dimmu all day but there are times when i definitely would rather listen to emperor |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 4:05pm - BornSoVile ""] Yeti said:no that title goes to Cradle of Filth personally, I feel that the song writing and talent on everything up til Cruelty destroys Dimmu. At least COF shit while generic, wasn't exactly a cookie cutter boredom fest ripping off Iron Maiden riffs (well they do too, but not as bad as Dimmu). I don't know, creaming yourself over Dimmu is just sad, there are tons of other bands out there! All the bands on the Nordic Metal comp kill Dimmu btw. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 5:28pm - sacreligion ""] uh-oh...is this gonna be another "my opinion is better than yours" thread? i personally think dimmu is a great fuckin band...more underground black metal is good as well, but then again i haven't had as much time to get into that shit as much as i've had with dimmu or even opeth at that(which explains why i like them so much...i know their music like the back of my hand) both are good...whether you wanna say one's "cookie-cutter" or make fun of the other for being way too over the top"kvlt" music |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 5:38pm - BornSoVile ""] Do you Sacreligion boys like Hecate Enthroned?? (no i'm not knocking you) |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 5:47pm - sacreligion ""] no idea who you're talking about also...at the end of my last post it was supposed to say "music is good" but came out "music"...weird |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 5:54pm - dreadkill ""] i heard hecate enthroned on a comp many years ago and thought it was crap. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 5:55pm - sacreligion ""] just downloaded "centuries of wolfen hunger" it's like a cross between old emperor and cradle of filth...pretty good though |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 5:55pm - sacreligion ""] not particularly feeling the vocals the more i listen |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 6:04pm - BornSoVile ""] okay, how about Sacramentum?? |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 27,2006 6:16pm - sacreligion ""] not familiar with them either |
| ______________________________ [Mar 27,2006 6:36pm - Yeti ""] i used to have "Dark Requiems and Unsilent Massacre", but i didnt like the way he screamed in one tone. they did do an awesome cover of "Altar of Sacrifice" though. see i love Dimmu. i think they are spectacular song writers. however i love all that the term "black metal" encompasses. i prefer horrid recordings but i love it all. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 27,2006 7:50pm - hoser ""] Amen, Brother. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 27,2006 9:27pm - hoser ""] Emperor rules too.....BTFW. I cued up some of theri old shit after reading the replies to this post. I hadn't even thought to include them in the Dimmu "awsomeness" category. Killer band....ultra talented...but.....I still like Dimmu better. Sorry.....great band and killer tunes though. |

| ____________________________________ [Mar 28,2006 10:34am - dreadkill ""] the new ihsahn album is awesome. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 28,2006 10:35am - Yeti ""] ? is it the new Peccatum? |

| ____________________________________ [Mar 28,2006 11:03am - dreadkill ""] Yeti said:? is it the new Peccatum? no, peccatum is over. ihsahn is doing solo stuff and ihriel is continuing star of ash. |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 28,2006 11:19am - dwellingsickness ""] Soulseek is cool, specially since I live in gay Concord NH and there are no real places that carry metal CD's. It is a pain to go to Manch to buy a CD,Now that I don't work there no more. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 28,2006 1:26pm - hoser ""] Limewire is the way to go. |
