"We reaquainted ourselves with this underground band that is now emerging into the mainstream." are you serious? yeah, "mainstream" compared to maybe Mayhem or Immortal but still FAR from being mainstream.
@Lordbutcher93 Lolumad? They were fired because the were taking merchandise, signing it with only their signatures, and selling the. Also showing up to shows w/o their instruments, and taking credit for things they didn't write.
i think bands shouldnt be shot down for takin their style to the mainstream
there is no impact really made in the world of music in the underground
get a bunch of amazing underground bands to go to the mainstream scene and they can do so much and change so much garbage u see on mtv and such people will know what true music sounds like not that lil wayne and soulja boy shit thats garbage
it does suck ass that vortex left but mustis is fucking replaceable. now vortex, that sucks about him, but think about this. dimmu has potential to become much darker now. no more clean vocals and no more melodic lyrics? i think it's safe to say sorgens kammer del ii and satan my master will be nursery rhymes when the new album drops.
His name is Simen, and yes, the pressure is on the "I", but it doesn't go up in pitch afterwards like in the English word "semen", but rather down. At least it sounds a bit different. Just to clarify that.
Oh yeah, the comment from petter might be towards how they wrote the name and as he said, its Simen not Siemen. Anyway he made a mistake as they wrote it wrong it was nothing with the pronounciation. And as most Dimmu fans might know its black forretress/citadel. And not Church :P
Well thats not all true, though they may have problems pronouncing foreign names. Myself i dont think he pronounced it to wrong, anyway you could try to say like this. Si, pronounce this part as you would say See, as in to see. And men, could be pronounced the same way as the english word men.
Yea, he rocks. Love the contrast between shagrath and vortex. also check out the song "The chaos path" by Arcturus. He's the lead singer the entire song... pretty cool.
Btw, it's Dimm-(as in Him)-u(as in Sue) Bor-(like BORomir in LOTR)-gir (as in gear, but with a hard R). Very easy, huh? lol
WOW DUDE THAT OLD GUY IN THE BEGGINING IS SO FUNNY HOW HE SAYS THE FIRST AND SECOND PART BEFORE HE GOES TO SANTA CLAUSE OMG HAHA, and why does he hold the " hell " when he says it tarja
Im Icelandic... so i think i know what it mean's thank u very mutch + ive been to the actuall location...
i dno where dimmu borgir got the idea it is dark fortress but Dimmu Borgir mean's Dark City's in plain English... if youd see the place udd know why... Dimmu=foggy lol u mad?
fog = Þoka.. n i dont see theyr name being Þokulegt Virki(Foggy Fortress) or Dimmt Virki (Dark Fortress)
Thats how many think its pronunced... i heard a guy in England say Dimmú Borgear n thought it was quite funny... i also like how they say Tarzja instead of Tarja :P... but other notes you pronunce it as written; Dimmu Borgir (helps if u know bit of icelandic)
awesome dude, i saw them a month and a half ago in Toronto and there is nothing quite like the energy from those guys right infront of the stage, Kool Haus is a nice intimate venue haha Great call on asking him about Nick though, that seemed to be a pretty quiet subject over the last couple years.

Dimmu Borgir Actually Means Dark City's in icelandic...
And its pronounsed Dimmu Borgir (sum find it hard to pronounse if they havent heard icelandic b4)...
but even though theyr name come's from here theyve never acctually played here :(
wednesday13fan1 3 years ago
wrong. Di9mmu Borgir doesnt mean dark city. Dimmu=dark/foggy Borgir=Castle.
if you dont believe me eat your own head and check out their web-site about it.
