I don't see how anyone could compare Dimmu Borgir to Emperor...Emperor is a vastly superior band and in my opinion are The Kings of Blackmetal..In saying this i am not trying to disrespect Dimmu i believe that they are talented although their later music has not been in my opinion that great to make a long story short i prefer their older music.
In my opinion, old Dimmu Borgir sounds better, but I'd not call it black metal, just symphonic metal, just not black, their album For All Tid has some good songs like Under Korpens Vinger, but the atmosphere it creates can't be tagged as black metal, however that's just my opinion, there will be some who agree and some who don't.
Old and New Dimmu Borgir sound the same. Only difference is that their new stuff is better produced than their old stuff. I like both either way (New and Old)
IMHO - old was way better (at least for me it was) - especially "stormblast" and "enthrone darkness triumphant" album. New stuff - yes, but only Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia and "Vredesbyrd". End of story ;)
There new stuff is great! I like the old stuff too but am more into the new style.. Everyone likes there own styles and if I'm feeling into some true groovy metal I'll listen to their old stuff.
Ok man that's not the reason why people dislike Dimmu Borgir. Their new shit is not even real symphonic black metal. Their poser black metal is what they are. It's disrespect to real black metal.
If you want true symphonic black metal listen to Emperor.
i love there old music such as stormblast the only "black metal" cd they put out in the past few years was there re make of stormblast which was the shit but to me i like both old and new dimmu cause dimmu started the whole symphonic thing before they got really famous in sorte diaboli is the cd that got them really big and thats there newest cd and this whole calling dimmu posers really kicked up cause of that cd
ugh yeah i have heard of them i like them and i was talking just about dimmu borgirs career in black metal not the start of symphonic black metal i wasnt talking about black metal as a whole just dimmu and how they started there direction towards symphonic bm a while back not recently
alot of people really didnt even know them until the new shit started spreading but I dont think alot of people even listen to there old shit which is kinda lame and shows how much they know about dimmu
Both are good but I agree, New Dimmu isn't black metal. New Dimmu should have it's own genre. Idk what but new Dimmu is amazing. When I listen to new Dimmu I think of Midevil. Haha there we go. New Dimmu=Midevil Metal!!!
Oh, okay, I understand your point, it's like (for me) like "Diabolical Masquerade" and their first albums and their newest, "Death's Design". It's a really different change, but I really like that album.
Old Dimmu! It had so much more black metal to it; much more atmospheric feeling. New Dimmu just feels like a rehash of all of their old crap with a heavier symphonic feel to appeal to a wider audience.
Immortal does NOT SUCK! They own practically every other black band except maybe Emperor and Mayhem. though their are a lot of great black metal bands.
I said their are a lot of great black metal bands, I like alot of them like Xasthur, Darkthrone, Dark Funeral, and many others I was just saying generally Immmortal are better then they are given credit for(and relating to Limbonic Art, that's your opinion)
Haha yes they are black metal. Besides 1349's recent album, it just plain shitty. No, I'm not saying that Dimmu Borgir isn't black metal because their albums are well produced, I'm simply implying that their new stuff isn't black metal at all!
LOL the old stuff's terrible
