Say what you want about
the Norwegian satanic masters of Dimmu Borgir but they do certainly have lots
of musical talent. This is first class symphonic black metal with lots of
keyboard arrangements but also lots of speed guitar riffs that sounds great
with the almost perfect production we are used you hear from the Nuclear Blast
releases. Fast guitars and drums accompanied by powerful keyboard arrangements
- the typical modern black metal style but still done very nicely. Some
classical influences can also be heard on the album. The lyrics are all
related to satanism in some way and seem very abstract and difficult to
understand. Mostly growling vocals but some clean male vocals can also be
caught by your ears. This is definitely one of the best black metal releases
for a long time and the album was also produced by the one and only Peter
Tägtgren from Hypocrisy. Top class metal from one of the
finest!
