Dimmu Borgir - The Insight Ind The Catharsis [Live In Wacken 2007]

[Manowarrior1990]

FUCK!! Vortex's solo is fucking amazing!

[DaveSwayer]

Just came here for my daily "like" click!!!

[ScreamynDemon]

Galder solo fail

[crawling211]

@ScreamynDemon this is fucking black metal if you want solos go listen another band

[ffreplica515]

so fucking cool yet sad to see vortex and shagrath rocking out together

[temuzero]

The clean vocals give me goosebumps, I wish I could explain why this is so amazing musically, but there's something very interesting going on here.

[SuperMetalhead5]

My favorite album by dimmu Borgir is enthroned darkness triumphant. I liked puritanical and spiritual a lot too. Mustis does good keyboard in those albums. I don't mind death cult and sorte diaboli. Those albums are just not as good. Albums before. I thought albums starting with death cult have been going down hill. Abracadabra was there worse album. Must is an excellent keyboardist but not dimmu Borgir best keyboardist. There best is stian arnstead. Don't remember exact spellling.

[amr91kady]

I think Vortex and Mustis should have kicked Dimmu Borgir out instead.

[bbelilovsky]

Mustis and Vortex was what got me into this band but they started without them and now they continue without them get over it ffs

[MegaDailyVlogs]

R.I.P Dimmu Borgir.

[golubinci]

@MegaDailyVlogs...so true :(

[medic0re]

they are all stunned from the vortex voice :D 

[sapzapgr]

Amazing song..

[slayer666man666]

haha...back in time...when Dimmu Borgir WAS Dimmu Borgir

[dimmuforlife]

VORTEX AND MUSTIS SHOULD FORM A NEW BAND!!!!

[TheAmonamarth1993]

@dimmuforlife That would be awsome :D \m/

[OushGisher]

6:26 Bellatrix LeStrange? O.o

[PabloVortexWolf]

Vortex and Mustis!!!!

[Midian7769]

lol lol lol listen to Arcturus, then get back to me on what you think of Vortex's music, your in for a shock XD

[everybodymustdie666]

Anybody know what their guitar straps say?

[ScreamynDemon]

@everybodymustdie666 I believe they say Diaboli, as in their second to last released album thus far entitled In Sorte Diaboli.

[Nacso69]

@everybodymustdie666 DIABOLI, I think.

[Nacso69]

Best Dimmu Borgir's almub is "ENTHRONE DARKNESS TRIUMPHANT" and neither MUSTIS nor VORTEX were in the band!!!

[zappinger]

@Nacso69 Totally agree! even more! there was NAGASH!

[andyskagr]

@zappinger And Aarstad and Tjodalv ! Dimmu borgir dont need anyone.Others need Dimmu Borgir !And for the people that flame Galder,go listen to the new stuff in black metal and let us worship him while we listen the amazing Old Mans Child !

[ScreamynDemon]

God Galder sucks at doing solos

[viciousroadietom]

Oh, dreadful angel of mine enrich me with the vastness of your being

Rigid father, teach me how to comprehend. I'll commit myself to understand, for I am the accomplice...

Vortex has a GODLY voice!

[sitonmyfacedarling]

you know what i fucking love? How they butchered the solo at around 4:05, thats not how it sounds on the album.....the fuck? nice work...ahh...not

[Nacso69]

@sitonmyfacedarling Then, listen the album version and stop being a douchebag.

[Ziadouu]

Dimmu has a unique universe, this song is the best one to materialize it!

[huseynovayaz]

Shagrath, Silenoz and Galder have to cry as baby if they watch to this video...

[pitupunkrocker]

This is best song of all times of Dimmu Borgir, forever

[StonexxDemonmaggot]

@HellectivicaCult well there gonna end up kicking the other members.......lets face it, how many times have they changed? 1992-1997,1998-1999,2000-2009,­2010-present, i mean come on stick to something already.......

[alessandrozerbone]

5:39 till the end is magical, Vortex's voice is pure fuckin power!

[wizsc]

@alessandrozerbone

Hmm... I agree, but to me magic starts at 3:32. I really like Vortex and I'm Arcturus fan, but Shagrath shows here that HE is the most important in Dimmu Borgir. He is so good that he can still make a great band - even wihtout Vortex. I enjoy just because Stian is SO dedicated. Anyway- Vortex shines here like a diamond. TRUE star.

[Auron2178]

How about we all stop crying about how we miss Vortex in DB (I miss him 2)

Let's just be glad that it happened!

imagine if Vortex was never even in Dimmu???

Let's be glad that he was :D

Now he has his solo album and he is working with his other bands so it's allll gooood

[zc720]

are you fucking kidding me? how does this video not have the most views out of all their videos? its almost like it has taken the best aspects of all their songs and put them into one ultimate super song that by far surpasses any ability that any "musicians" have today.

[Fikensou57]

geniales aguantee dimmu borgir!!!!

[TheBagnera]

i love vortex......i want to come to romania

[NaZguL0333]

3:30 - 4:30 best moments of music for me

[kevin070207]

en el primer solo no hace el el primer arpegio :O me cago y el segundo no se :(

[IAMJONNYSLEFTFOOT]

Arguably their best song to date.

[bilyisbored92]

Vortex look like a god when he sings

[zippadai4]

After SBD Dimmu has been shit!

[Brynhi1d]

Feel free to skip to the 6:00 mark. That is pretty much all that matters.

[mitchell0406]

@Brynhi1d dont forget the part 1:30 - 2:18

[StonexxDemonmaggot]

@Brynhi1d so your saying 3:33- 4:34 dosent matter?? the piano part is amazing!

[morganix007]

Mustis and Vortex should get together and make a great project. Vortex is a Great Vocalist and Mustis a Great Keyboardist!

[AlbusHorus]

This was one of my fav song of Dimmu. But now, without Siemens and Mustis, Dimmu is like a man without head. But i don´t care, they did a good job in this band, now i wanna see good things in new projects, and now Siemens can give life again a much better bands as Arcturus , Borknagar, Lamented Soul and others. Dimmu had bee, destroyed by money.

[Issverr]

@AlbusHorus it's "Simen", not "Siemens" :)

[AlbusHorus]

@Issverr You are right...sorry =P

[DBdimmuborgirDB]

@AlbusHorus The last sentence is the truth of vortex and mustis why they were kicked out.

[AlbusHorus]

@DBdimmuborgirDB Well i don´t know the real reason, and in my honest opinion, they aren´t kicked out...but don´t matter. But tell me....who have more to lose....Dimmu Borgir, or Vortex and Mustis? In my opinion, they will still been 2 genious of metal, and Dimmu Borgir will lose all magic and creativity =\

[DBdimmuborgirDB]

@AlbusHorus yep , the Spiritual Black Dimensions album is my favorite 'cause they make magic with their songs. = / Abrahadabra is crap if you would compare it to SBD imo.

[bookworm1138]

his aria sounds so dead here, and especially on the Live in Oslo video. which is sad, because on the World Misanthropy DVD, it was PERFECT! (as on the live at Ozzfest videos)

as much as, it seems, the whole world screams for Vortex to be back in DB, what's done is done, and i'd rather have FOUR good albums with Vortex on them (TBA Borknagar, Arcturus, Lamented Souls and solo project albums) than more boring live performances from DB feat. Vortex

[SlayingMinion]

"In circles of dominance, emotional deeps unite. Fiction and transcendence woven together. In the essence of purtity lies wisdom. Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!"

[dimmuftw69]

Is that Hellhammer on drums?



[Issverr]

@dimmuftw69 No, he isn't. Tony Laureano did drums for that performance, because Hellhammer was injured.

[NaZguL0333]

3:33 that melody is what i call magic... i cant describe what i feel while listening to it, its the only reason i like this song

[Issverr]

I wonder if Vortex would mind if I borrowed his awesome boss position, with the bass on his leg. XD

[Pauldogg1983]

Hey it's the joker from Dark Knight at 7:23!

[SATANECRONOMICUS]

this video is way too muffled.

[alextre77]

From 6:04 on you can hear and feel the tragedy of the loss of Vortex (and Mustis)

[MrNightcraft]

@alextre77 If I could thumb this up a hundred times I would.

Dimmu is terrible without them.

[OushGisher]

Dimmu without Vortex and Mustis is like 'Tom and Jerry' without Jerry. Sure, fans of the show will continue watching, and who knows, 'The Adventures of Tom' might still sell and be entertaining... but then you stop and think, 'what was the fucking point?'

That statement on their website saying Mustis and Vortex were fucking up on stage was such bullshit. Being the dedicated musicians they are, they wouldn't keep them for so long if it was true. This shit happens to all bands that get famous.

[ledzeppfreak27]

@OushGisher

well said, 100% agree man.

[datispasdavid]

@OushGisher They actually stated that? hahaha Indeed thats bullshit. I think of all musicians, Mustis was the best live with Vortex as a close second.... Dimmu = PHAIL!

[OushGisher]

@datispasdavid Yeah!! They were saying they were fucking up on stage, being lazy, and that money came first or some shit. Even if the last is true, you'd think that the place they've earned in the band still means something. They've become a great balance - their original very scandinavian sound with Mustis's touch (Spiritual Black Dimensions and later was with him), and the duo of Shagrath's growl and Vortex's epic voice. Shagrath and Silenoz just need to pull their heads out of their asses.

[SlayingMinion]

@OushGisher wasn't vortex smoking crack? and supposedly Mustis hadn't contributed to an album since puritanical...

[OushGisher]

@SlayingMinion Not sure about Vortex, but him 'fucking up on stage' and 'forgetting his instruments' or what not was giving Dimmu loads of money, and, more importantly followers.

And considering Progenies of the Great Apocalypse was composed by Mustis, I'll have to disagree. If you have any doubts about his talent: /watch?v=4s88vxHjWrs

[OushGisher]

Part of what make Spiritual Black Dimensions the most dark and haunting, I believe, is that they actually do sing about... spiritual black dimensions! Rather than being all 'and we shall kill the men, and rape the women... muhaha' (well, rather than being very straight forward with their lyrics about darker themes), this album HINTS towards the themes. Like in this song, you know exactly who Vortex is singing to when he sings 'Oh, dreadful angel of mine...'

[OushGisher]

I think part of what makes Dimmu so haunting is that they look like a combination of deceased Vikings and fallen angels from Judeo-Christian mythology.

[InfernalPurge]

I liked this song better in normal tuning, but it's still an amazingly sick headbanging song!

[Fujinshadow20XX]

Fucking really pisses me off when they split from the band...

[K1FFY]

Mustis is the best here...serious man)) Best performance of Dimmu, orgasmic)

[Arcturus420]

I love how people are still blown away by Simen's clean vocals in this song and any DB song he has sung on, it's like they have never heard his vocal work with Arcturus or Borknagar......Here is a twist for you morons, he can also do harsh vocals!

[09poisongirl]

Vortex vocals reach places no other vocalist can reach! lol

[daanny2030]

why cant i sound like vortex?

[knokkelman13]

@daanny2030 maybe you have no viking blood :p

[RammsteinIsGod]

6:09 orgasm in my ears

[maggoten]

@6:06



[theAXELnater274]

 AVE SATANAS!

[npolzkill666]

the part at the end when vortex sings clean voice is so fuckin sick, it sends chills down my spine



[Amonstersilhouette]

i love this song, i miss the line-up

[lalilalastyle]

6:48 moshpit of jerks

[ScreamynDemon]

This is their best song, but not by much because all their songs fucking rule.



[listek981]

I will fucking kill my family friends and my self because i didn't knew dimmu borgir and i couldn't be on wacken 2007. AAAAAa

[deBurrows]

Mustis rules.

[Kwintesencja]

Brasil ruling 4:16

\w/

[Francesca86]

fuck yeah... my fav song all time <3

[SinisterTotems]

I think the Wacken 2007 is the best of Vortex live (Least for Dimmu stuff). Wish I was there ;(

[ikem555]

2:23 to 2:46 = FUCKING HEADBANGING FROM HELL!

[DemonosSilvast]

This is their best song ever!!! Hails from Finland!!!

[Santeoni]

ICS Vortex, amazing voice ever.

[katoteshiko3]

i gotta say that i dont like black metal,i respect because everyone likes whatever he wants,even though i get sick when i see pigs heads getting cut on stage

BUT THIS BAND IS SOMETINHING DIFFERENT I LOVED THIS MAN

AND THE PIANO(I DONT KNOW HOW TO SAY THE INSTRUMENT ON ENGLISH) IS AMAZING

[theAXELnater274]

wer shagrath nd vortex start singing together they should do that again (if they ever get back together)

[DemonosSilvast]

@theAXELnater274 Are they married???

[theAXELnater274]

@DemonosSilvast theyre not gay man but shagrath is married to a WOMAN

[DemonosSilvast]

@theAXELnater274 Did i ask are they gay??? Moron...

[theAXELnater274]

@DemonosSilvast ok then be alil more specific next time then just are they married

[bokuroker]

@DemonosSilvast from what I know vortex is married and has a boy named storm, as said before, it seems shagrath's also married, I don't know about the rest of the band, though

[DemonosSilvast]

@bokuroker Boy named Storm??? What a genius name!!! Is he how old???

[bokuroker]

@DemonosSilvast yep, a very cool name indeed, but can you expect anything less from vortex? :P anyway I think I recall reading somewhere his boy isn't very old, I think it was between 2 and 5 years old, I might be mistaken though, do some research yourself if you want anything sure, I don't remember where I read last time :(

[StonexxDemonmaggot]

Shagrath Clean Vocals????????????????????????­?? hahaha dimmu is screwed

man it should of been like this

1.Shagrath (Vocals)

2.Silenoz (Rhythm Guitar)

3. Astennu (Lead Guitarist) i like Galder but he should go back to Old Man's Child

4. Nick Barker (Drummer)

5. Mustis (Pianoist

6. ICS Vortex ( Bass & backup vocals)

it could of been awesome if it was like this :(

\m/

[bokuroker]

@StonexxDemonmaggot Shagrath wasn't that bad on clean vocals... Anyways, except for the fact that I only might prefer Hellhammer more than Nick Barker, that's the perfect Dimmu line-up.

[poyocrew]

@StonexxDemonmaggot

u're damn right....

[DemonosSilvast]

@StonexxDemonmaggot They work it out some how??? I think they got professionals from Poland!!!

[ThiAbducted]

@StonexxDemonmaggot

Yes I agree with you.. Astennu in dimmu and galder in old man's child..

[mustainedv8]

@StonexxDemonmaggot lulz@pianoist. WTF is a pianoist? Sure, he can play an 88 ivory, but that's a keyboard, homeslice.

[StonexxDemonmaggot]

@mustainedv8 lol

[camustranger25]

@StonexxDemonmaggot those where not clean vocals that Shaggy boy sung, and he recorded that part on the album anyway... but yes Dimmu's been lost for ages now

[perkele181]

@StonexxDemonmaggot shagraths vocals should been done by morten veland in sirenia .

and the clean vocals and bass guitar play should been done by marco hietala from finland and tarot/nightwish

[StonexxDemonmaggot]

@perkele181 they had Snowy Shaw from Therion for about a week and he was suppose to replace Vortex, i guess he was thinking he was gonna end up like Vortex lol,

[datispasdavid]

@StonexxDemonmaggot TRUE!!! You got that right! Astennu is amazing. That bald mustache wearing ass can't replace Astennu... he never had a chance....

[datispasdavid]

@StonexxDemonmaggot I agree totally! but one thing.... Not Nick Barker but Hellhammer on drums ;)

BRING VORTEX, ASTENNU AND MUSTIS BACK!

And Galder indeed to OMC...

[StonexxDemonmaggot]

@datispasdavid but Hellhammer left because he had back pain and had to leave....Barker dind't leave from any injurry. and Barker's drumming skills is awesome,well thats just my opinion ;D

[OmegaDoyle]

@StonexxDemonmaggot Alas, it is and will not be like this. Creating a dream lineup composed of former members from a band like Dimmu is like creating the dream Yankees lineup. You want to include Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson, but it's simple speculation and impossibility. It would have been awesome, but it's silly to wish for what couldn't be. I saw them in 2001. I consider that to be their prime. That was real, no speculation, and I will carry that with me forever.

[everybodymustdie666]

@StonexxDemonmaggot Shagrath isn't doing clean vocals..

[StonexxDemonmaggot]

@everybodymustdie666 umm yes he is in live concerts.....Snowy Shaw quit after a week and That screaming bitch from gateways isnt their so....yea its Shagrath doing both vocals

[rodpantera]

that dimmu at its best

[keylllogdark]

@rodpantera hey man, do you know how it call their accessories of the knees...

[nunswiththeshotgun]

This is just Epic I mean the musicianship,the composition,execution just is Phenomenal!!!!!\M/

[9egomurder]

...the clean voice is in PLAYBACK.

[GeneSimmons1994]

@9egomurder

its not -.-

[ursolame666]

@9egomurder this is metal music, not pop music. but i have a video of ur mom on playback if you wanna see it.

[ursolame666]

some of the best that dimmu has to offer.

[drummerofdream]

VORTEX!!!!!!!!!

[YouSmiith]

JUST AMAZING!

[jaimettal]

La raaaaaaaajaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

Excelente performance de Dimmu Borgir, pero sin duda el que se roba los aplusos es Vortex!!!!

[Zumwaloro]

Arrgh, I want the old Dimmu back! The insight and the catharsis includes all the classic elements of Dimmu's old style. It was so fucking epic. I like their new album as well, but Abrahadabra is way more different than this :(

[cartolpan]

man I miss this band

[mitchell0406]

damn i love this song! keep watching and lisning to it over and over again

[sllb777]

one of the best...

[calvingmail]

comedy show begins

[aclamonica]

5:36 is my fav part in this. Soo awesome.

[WarlockMuerto]

@aclamonica defintely... is my fav part too!!!

[LostForever29]

@VredesStal

Yah, I see where your coming from, I wasn't trying to say I didn't think there not good, because they obviously are. It just gets tiring to me comment after coment. Sory I was, and still am, a little tired of it.

[rockbandftmfw9]

@ConsumeYourSoul619 Enslaved is good check them out.

[TheValhalla1997]

@ConsumeYourSoul619 Children of bodom...not black metal but great

[LostForever29]

I am tired of everybody saying Dimmu Borgir is nothing without Vortex and/or Mustis. There is at least ten comments like that on every Dimmu Borgir video! If you don't like Dimmu Borgir without them than you were more of a fan of those people than the actual band. Not trying to be rude but is is honestly very tiring.

[reliac1]

@LostForever29 I agree, I don't understand how people think dimmu is nothing with out mustis and vortex, you have to remember, stormblast and Enthrone Darkness Triumphant were written before they were in the band, and those are GREAT albums. Don't get me wrong though, I LOVE the era with them, and I will miss vortex, especially live. But overall Dimmu is silenoz and shagrath's band.

[gundamfan100]

This is probably my favorite version of this song :DD

[wwescsazz]

shagrath and vortex shouldve done more of that clean and dirty vocals together at the same time. that was sick.

[loombowski]

word

[wwescsazz]

@loombowski word?

[iskim86]

who's on drums for this one? Hellhammer?

[viktorbb]

@iskim86 It's Tony Laureano

[m3tallih0lic]

why did vortex leave them!?!?!

[Agemiron]

@m3tallih0lic he dont, they fired him

[m3tallih0lic]

@Agemiron why did they fire him?

[ConsumeYourSoul619]

@m3tallih0lic i think i heard that he was getting drunk and causing problems and shit. not really sure but i think thats why

[m3tallih0lic]

@ConsumeYourSoul619 well it sure sounds like a reason a rocker would get kicked out of a band lol

[ConsumeYourSoul619]

@m3tallih0lic lol

[Blo0dThirst]

angels and demons singing at 2:12

[WaterlyTom]

@Blo0dThirst

nagash and tjodalv?

[vidassaulis]

@Blo0dThirst

no it's two demons singing

[everybodymustdie666]

@Blo0dThirst Such a bad ass part. They make a perfect harmony, as odd as that would sound. Vortex.. Ahh.

[Rednasyl28]

This live performance reminds us how better off Dimmu would be with both of them. You know who I'm talking about.

[2warnings]

Why the hell did Vortex left dimmu?? some1 say!

[abbath1586]

@2warnings He was fired along with Mustis.

[StonexxDemonmaggot]

Holy crap... Hail Dimmu!!! Vortex and Mustis lead to fame in Dimmu! Oh well, if Shagrath leaves then Dimmu is fucked up....

[drawman3354]

vortex sounds amazing!

[Tinhosorj]

legendary moment of this world with mustis and vortex!

[Scarnivore]

Dimmu Borgir SUX! its just Galder he is a genius!!!
