Dimmu Borgir-Alt lys er svunnet hen (translated)

[Ithboltar666]

Sorry i still think that the new enhanced version is far more greater than this original ,but gotta say this is fucking classic what comes to old school blackmetall.

[orrhahh]

thanks for the translation dude :)

[SATANAlex]

can you please translate me the part where he says "YeaaaaaYeaaaaaaaaaaaa"?

[baubaul]

takes me back in time, where did all the "time" fade away?

[azrael666ethereal]

I don't think All Light has faded away is 100% accurate, that would be "alt lyset har falmet bort".. But that is pretty much what the title means...

[Wandroth]

Somebody pls translate the Title for me!:)

[azrael666ethereal]

@Wandroth All light has gone..

[Asael090]

This song, is pure classic, definitely one of my fav DB song. Really love the atmosphere and the lyrics

[LothringenSvartWolf]

Not the good pictures.

[Strokecity1]

Please listen to Magnum's "Sacred hour" and hear how this beautiful intro should be done - played of course by the original and best!

[larsfn85]

Great song, Norweigan metal is fucking great!

[ZZombyWooff]

lol this is copied from song by Magnum

[oykheidi]

thank you so much for the translation! :)

[EVROEPA]

Hey does anyone know of any black metal albums that have a similar sound to this album? Ive tried Satyricons olders stuff, but it doesnt sound like this. Thanks in advance!

[ChrononautDoom]

@EVROEPA check out Mistur, Windir, Cor Scorpii, Taake, Ulver, and Vreid..then go from there.

[matusini]

@EVROEPA Maybe some CoF songs ...

[GodOvEpicness]

@EVROEPA I don't think anything else has this sound other than For All Tid, which is a shame. When I listened to black metal this was the stuff I was always trying to find in amongst all the boring, uninspired, recorded-with-a carrot fast paced noise that's out there. I expect you will like Obtained Enslavements Witchcraft (their best release) which doesnt have the same sound but it is good symphonic black metal none the less. Sorry this is a year late.

[zannahklis]

georgous!

[CChallinor]

Ummmmm....This guys so obviously ripped Magnum's Sacred Hour.....

[pufarinu]

i like it very much orchestra it combines very well with metal ! 5 stars

[verynice420]

the beginning reminds me of the 2 girls 1 cup song LOL!

[krock931]

dimmu borgir not is black metal

[krook205]

@krock931 Facepalm.jpg

[verynice420]

@krook205 i think in their new album in the gateways video they are white metal LOL!

[MrNikolaid]

@verynice420

its symphonic black metal.........if u know wat that means

[ih8makinusernames]

@verynice420 Tis true. It made me cry on the inside that video did.

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

The retarded german Gangsta Rapper "Bushido" have stolen the intro music and put this in his song cause he cant write own music this bastard.

Watch the video "Bushido - Engel"

and you will see. Lets kicks this retards ass !!!

[koviljak]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 funny you should say that, DB stole this from One Sacred Hour by a band called Magnum

[mattersys]

too bad they dind't continue on the same page and decided to go mainstream...tihis is my favorite song form norway, keepin in mind that norwegian metal is my favorie.

too ad, they could have been great. instead they are noe being listaned by people who don;t undersant a think about black metl in oarticular and metal in general....too ba.

[parisite3]

i love how they transfer from the piano into the metal part its soo bad ass

[DevilsThrone01]

Sweet im learning Norwegian while listening to my fav band :O

[xXLawlietStrifeXx]

Hail The Old Dimmu Borgir !!!

For All Tid is amazing !

[Mexicanopkr]

wut does "alt lys er svunnet hen".. means?!?!

[JEEZMISTER]

@Mexicanopkr All Lights Are Faded.

[chromefore]

I'm wondering why there's a Galder pic for about 2 minutes....He wasn't in this album lol

[Ropek76]

Amazing....Hail from Poland

[crawling211]

hell yeah Dimmu Borgir is the best black metal band on the fucking world!

Abrahadabra is coming featuring Korn

[VoidBeyondTheRift]

@crawling211 GET THE FUCK OUT AND BURN

Even if you're trolling, that's not a cool thing to post on such a wonderful song.

Ps. Yes, I know it's true. It's just horrifying and wrong.

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

"Bushido" have stolen this song !!

Watch the video "Bushido - Engel"

Lets kick his retards ass !!

[Ablebehett]

This song is the epidemy of symphonic black metal!!

[Foreshadowing666]

I live thailand

i love norway

but thailand shit music gay

[vomitory1309]

@Foreshadowing666 i live in mexico and mexico is shit hail norway by the way

[demieke666]

Hey what's wrong with Kiss? :-)

[Lunhyver]

This is DIMMU BORGIR, well after Devil's Path, they sucked :P I love the first two full lengths albums! And I agree Black Baron7, they became the KISS of EXTREME METAL, they are not BM anymore, and they admit to it! Keep the true BM underground! Maybe cliched, but the best is not among the rest!

Pride in Satan!

[FestelFlock]

@Lunhyver i dont think enthrone darkness thrumphiant sucks at all but okay..

[allstargamerkaly]

wow awesome song i luv this one the best : )

[xtrememetalfan]

what is this intro copied from?

[DodeHelten]

@xtrememetalfan The intro isn't copied from anyone, the instrumental "sorgens kammer" was copied from a video game i believe

[xtrememetalfan]

@DodeHelten ive been doin some checkin since the last post and the intro to this song is taken from a band called magnum from the song sacred hour. check it out i couldnt beleive it when i heard it its almost exactly how the other song is

[grimjer]

Hail to the Old Dimmu, Faggrath sucks! This was Dimmu Borgir in its splendor... When Silenoz did the lyrics, and Faggrath on drums, keyboards, clear vox and/or guitars \m/

[SilverTounge85]

@grimjer

Faggot!

[boroco7]

@grimjer Hey man ITS SHAGRATH! but there is no reason for arguing but i think it doesn't matter who plays now or did back then the point is this band is fucking great!

[BlackBaron7]

I agree, man. Shagrath totally fucked over the band. Dimmu Borgir is the KISS of black metal. haha but, Stian Aarstad was the keyboardist for the band at the time. All Shagrath did was clean vox and guitar. Maybe bass, idk.

[Shengrath]

respect.stormblast is a great album

[rosvopaisti]

Best riff salad the band ever cooked.

[luckystarsus]

i love their piano parts, too beautiful:)

norway forever!:)

[turdspooning]

@lucksyarsus that intro was stolen by Dimmu from the band Magnum, so its not Norwegian. They also ripped off Sorgens Kammer from the video game Agony. Otherwise, this is a great album.

[luckystarsus]

i've heard that song, and i like this one better. besides, it's a totally different song and this piano intro perfectly fits to it, and they changed it and it's played in the different way. this song is awesome and it wouldn't be the same if the intro was exchanged with something else.

[fabiannihilator]

@luckystarsus Er... You actually know they ripped off the piano part of this song from Magnum's Sacred Hour, don't you?

[Stahio]

Alt lys er svundet hen is the right way to say it

[wolfboii999]

haha 0:10 he has a bottle sitting on his keyboard

[badcashPer]

im swedish and so i can get most norweigan without having to translate it, so when i heard this song before i could pick up fragments of the lyrics. its fun to now see the whole lyrics. anyway greaat song. without doubt their best album

[basfoor]

classic old black metal song

old black metal still rule the most

[Blackmetal9000]

what album is this off?

[warpedmind87]

@Blackmetal9000 this is from stormblast. their BEST album

[Blackmetal9000]

ok thanks heaps, and yeah i would agree this would be th best one, im not a big fan of their later stuff, Enthrone Darkness Triumphant is very good though

[Shengrath]

stormblast

[Mafiawl]

I know it has been said before but if you are going to rip somebody off please try to at least cover it up a little. The first few minutes is Sacred Hour by Magnum, written way back in the early 1980's. I have never heard such an obvious copy. Shame because Dimmur Borgir are very good.

[Majormdisorder]

True but i think that the guy who stole it said to the rest that he wrote it

[dAziks]

Shame to Stian, not Dimmu Borgir. He ripped off that intro, also on one another song, never ever telling anyone of the band.

Everyone thought, he is bad keyboard player, only ripping-off something, but after Stormblast, he did an amazing job on Enthrone Darkness Triumpht album, almost their best album and symphonic is 10/10 there. But Mustis still better. This song awsm too. :D

[wolfboii999]

Stian is better...

[mrRipper1974]

I hope they can play somewhere close to my place so I can see them live

[TheUncleZerg]

Haha. NWO, you've gotta be shitting me. John, I'm classing you as a puppet. Simply because your an irrelevant human, with irrelevant thought.

[johnscawkblock]

indeed a great song. dimmu borgir has truly changed my life over the years. ill never stop liking this band. Fuck Barack Hussein Obama hes nothing but a puppet. fuck the NWO thumbs up if you are against the new world order.

[DieChavScum]

johnscawblock stfu. That has absaloutly nothing to do with Metal, Dimmu Borgir or Norwegian language. Wtf? And anyway, Dimmu come from Europe. Europe = Center-Left politics compared to your shitty country.

But anyway, politics have nothing to do with it. Go post on Nokturnal Mortum vids, that's acceptable.

[MrDarkmatters]

Nwo ??? dude too much alex jones is not good for your mental health, yeah there are some fucked up people running the world, whether it's some illuminati freemasonic NWO dudes I dont know, but probably not. And anyway what has that got to do with dimmu ? do a bit more research and dont call othes when you blindly follow conspiracy theories. just leave metal as metal and dont get wild theories involved :) Peace, if thats possible on a metal video :P

[metallidimmu]

kings of metal!!!

[angec33063]

I can play this entire song on the piano, and when i do people crowd around to watch, it truely is an amazing song.

[kozall]

The intro sure is good, too bad it is stolen(Magnum, One Sacred Hour) and as a result of that they got a lot of bad press.

And thats a shame cause the rest of the song is even better.

[xissburg]

but sounds much better than the original, indeed

[blackuprise]

256 ratings :D

[tobymonas]

that keyboard.... it makes me cry :'(

[benoz11]

no son thats a piano

[Masojester]

Actually there is piano and keyboard...

[slayerbodensee]

did you know bushido stole this song from them?

[tobymonas]

Did you mean, The Mourning Palace song..

[mrfelony87844]

quit bitching about whether or not they sold out. Dimmu Borgir, old or new, is better than any of you can be so shut the fuck up and enjoy it.

[potassium99mg]

who gives a shit if the band sold out or isnt "true KVLT" if they sound good listen to it, its fucking retarded to go on about. if it wasent for cradle of filth i wouldnt have evan found out about BM in general. went to a cradle show and satyricon was there, thats how i got into the music. maybe there not the inner circle bands but they are good bands to lead into the genre, but we can all agree that Thorno did suck major ass!

[Suurikurpa]

I'm with you. I found BM through Dimmu and COF. People should realize that "true" is still "true" even if it sells more than others that are "true". I guess you'll have talk like to a moron if i want to make you understand this... potassium hits right on the nail! Great song btw...

[potassium99mg]

Thanks

[Leviathann666]

I m into true norweigan black metal and I like Cof and Dimmu, I think If I say, they are not true and sell out, I will be just music rasist, they play good music and in my playlist they are right next to Immortal, Burzum, Mayhem, Satyricon and many more!

[TheFreakWithTheCap]

I wished every black metal fan would think this way. People care way too much about if something is true or not, as long as you like it, listen to it!

[iceprincess573]

dimmu is an awesome black metal warrior band

[WoWandMetalFTW]

dimmu is pretty good no doubt, i know they take alot of criticism for being sellouts, or not true or whatever it may be, but they arent bad by any means, they arent like cradle of filth, which is pure suck.. i like emperor alot more though, for symphonic

[bockigoth]

I totally agree with you, lots of ppl say that dimmu are sellouts... They even try to compare CoF with Dimmu... I mean like wtf, cradle sux hard ! ...

But if I must say old dimmu is better.. They are still good but the older albums are the best in my opinion ^^

[Majormdisorder]

Good old black metal makes no sense but is still awesome

[cobrettirecords]

Dimmu Borgir has the greatest Top Ten lineup in metal.

[cobrettirecords]

RAWK!!! Fartsniffer.

[Wyndrax]

05 version is far better.

[minikas27]

Me too. But this still Rocks :)

[FreddiehKing]

No argue on it . Norwegian Black Metal is ridiculousy much better. Hail Noreg!

[PureMetalMusic]

the only thing i hate a bout this song is the realy long intro

[FreddiehKing]

Thats the point of it, its a album intro, and its beautiful, and it weights the rest of the song too.

[cobrettirecords]

ROCK!!!

[6dol6]

rock!!

you dumb ass

[cobrettirecords]

ROCK!!

[whocaress77]

perfect intro for this play

[baal2177]

This must be from the original Stormblast release because the re-recorded version that was released in 05 does not start like this nor does it sound like this. Cool, I've never heard the original. Nice!

[ghostdude123456]

Yeh I think this one is from the late 90s, not sure.

[tehrevenant]

this song is amazing! one of the best of blackmetal

[soutaomau]

original is from magnun, and can even be better played but the original version has no soul, no emotion, compared to this one. the feeling of this intro played by dimmu is a million times stronger than magnum's. and that is what counts for me

[The88Wiking88]

Dette er jævli bra!i have to say to everyone that wish they was Norwegian or wanna come to Norway.Its a great country,very expensive tho,but just take a look at the nature and the suroundings and u will be amazed.Hopefully u will catch a consert with Dimmu or satyricon(our 2 most known bands)guess u already knew that tho:)visit inferno in Oslo next summer.Alot of very good metal.Hail metal fans all over the world.Hilsen NORGE!

[Blackheartded]

YEAH NORGE ÄGER!!! Hälsar svergie

[TheFallenGuardian8]

I want to go to Sweden or Norway ;) learning the swedish language now, pretty hard though :|

dimmu just rocks

[Blackheartded]

yeah im from stockholm! Its a really nice city :P

[DJBouncey]

What are you talking about? wish they was norwegian? Are you talking about dimmu borgir?

Dimmu borgir are a norwegian band! lol

wake up man!

[bbue9]

alt lys er svunnet hen

[Gigatless]

awesome intro.

[YogShoggotha]

sorry to burst your bubble guys, but watch a video for The Sacred Hour by Magnum, that song came out in 1982 about a decade before Dimmu started making music.

shame, such a gorgeous song too bad Stian was such a plagarizing bastard.

[Solerian]

well... at least Mustis is a pure genius to make up for it ;)

[darkthroneabins]

Nice!

I like this original version much better than new version.

[MystikalNinja66]

This is good song,

When Dimmu Borgir was actually black metal... now they're fading from that genre and going off into something lesser than black metal...

[bockigoth]

I totally agree with you mate.

[GodfatherxD]

oh yeah the poster at the bushido vid "engel" was right. its stolen from dimmu. :) but the song is from both good. i prefer deathmetal and goregrind but "engel" is the only bushido song i like. :) dimmu borgir are great.

greatings from germany.

[XxKirisuteGomenxX]

Also listen to Mouning Palace by Dimmu then Mittelfinger by Bushido. He steals many songs from Dimmu Borgir.

[divra34]

NORGE I MITT HJÄRTA

[hionmeth]

Its a f melacolic BM masterpiece. Nothing less

[Azargled]

I love that song. The piano bit is probably one of the best BM intros.

As for Norway, I've heard it's beautiful and organised, I'd like to go there, even for some days.

There are still some drawbacks though; the cold (well, I live in Greece) and the expensive life in Oslo. But in overall it may be very good.

[NetMaster79]

this fucking song, I have been looking for a so much time I hope never get back to lose it, and, hear it forever

[14BuzzedHair88]

Very nice. Not a big DB fan, but this is beautiful, haunting, and melodic....

[emeis29]

Why wouldn't you be able to move to Norway worus41? When I was there I met some man from Poland who lives there too,so why couldn't you?

[ihatefatchicks666]

Lol, waaaaaaaay

to

fucking

cold

[agathodeimon]

excelente, buena traduccion

[B4nxu]

This is fucking awesome song... so beatiful

[worus41]

yes Norge is fantastic country.... I would like to move there if i only could....

[emeis29]

I love this song! Great band from a great country with a great language! NORGE!!!!

[JesusBeamers]

Von welchem Album ist dies?

[ihsahn888]

Stormblast heisst das.......

[JesusBeamers]

Dank, ich haben am Ende sowieso herausgefunden

[valteich]

noo pues esta chingonaaaaa esta rolaaaaaaa

[hionmeth]

Stian and friends. You did a materjob here. Actually with the whole album. Technically not anyting partiucalarly, but emotionally, a masterpiece

[hionmeth]

Its a fucking Black metal masterpiece. Should be on every Black Metal curriculum. Its sick. Its actually so sick that it gets close to the Paco De Lucia level

[lambodimmu]

things like how did existance came and how was the universe b4 it ...is there a universe b4 it ...if it wasnt there then !!!!! huh alooot of issues man and wts after and wts after the after ........losss total loss soo u'd better get back to urself and know it better and leave music trix as music trix and dont be fool to commercials....damn u pple are so closed and u say its progression thank god i am not that progression

[behersker]

you all make me laugh, first off no one can say that satan is or is not real, same with god or any other deity. You can't prove them to b real, its all up to what a person choses to find real and believe for them self. Secondly most black metal bands don't really follow satan as in the worshipping way. there re very few that do. some being Dissection, Watain, Glorior Belli. and they follow in a Chaosophy rooted way. and btw, anton lavey is the mormon version of satanism haha. he was fake

[Brianmuuh]

why do you write so much i could only read half of what you wrote of what i read of what you wrote of what i read of what you wrote of what i read of what you wrote of what i read of what you wrote of what i read if what you wrote.

[lambodimmu]

no dude i can prove that there is one god who made it all.wn evry lil thing n this planet and evry lil thing in the unvrse whch r only the things human managed to know r havin 1 standard.completly separated creatures havin the same stndrd so when it comes to u.man is the only diffrent creature of those and most of time he dosnt work acordin wid same system dat all the unvrse workin wid due to our scince then its pretty clearand about satan it exist but in the black metal its just commercial trix

[Feuerbach1]

Your prolly a fucking troll, but even trolls should know how to speak english if they wish for a response, what you wrote makes little to no sense to me, and I'd assume any normal english speaker

[JesusBeamers]

learn to speak english, and learn that god is an ass and that there is no possible way that he/she can exist, a guy sitting above the damn universe in a big throne? I seriosuley doubt that, you're proberly one of the lil asswholes who THINK they are cool because they go around at school "oh bla bla bla satan is real, god is real, beat me up and they will punish you" just GET... A.... LIFE... DUDE..

[lambodimmu]

u have to know about scince that made u type that words in the 1st place if u know enough u wud know that u r tooo lil to talk the way u r and btw i speak a lan. the scince itself said its the most powerful lan. so i dont give a fuck about ur englilsh but there's should be sum respect tht i have talked ur lan. and he s not guy he s god who created u so ur mind cant imagine how beautiful and great he is dont u try to work ur mind in everything cuz sumthings are above ur mental abilities

[justinmnk]

watch the movie 'zeitgest'. There is no god. Its just the greatest story ever told.

[DeathInFire777]

that movie is so incorrect it's not funny, if a "satan" where to exist he would try to decieve you would he not? go research actual facts and compare them to the movie, it wont add up

[eggsinsidethetomato]

.......satan isnt real

[lordabomity]

Neither is god

[turtlesauce333]

neither is bill

[Zintendo]

I seriously hit random article on wiki, and the album that this song is in came up :) apparently its good music (others comments)

[m1r2ms4]

Fuckin' great piano intro!! what a fuckin' kick ass band!

[Budman5000]

The Left Hand Path is the right path. Everyone tells you to be you're own person and not follow others, so why should that be any different for some 2000 year fossil deity that doesn't hold an once of water?

[turtlesauce333]

Actually I know a guy that looked like jesus and he had like an entire pale of water.

[misterdargor]

why? how does jesus look like? actualy he wasn't even white

[hionmeth]

I think I have to say that this song is my prototype of sad black metal. Aswell as thus spake the nightspirit is my prototype of desperation/frustration black metal. Its just (actually both) a mpiece.

[peopleshitmaggots]

awesome piano sounds!! I LOVE DİMMU BORGİR!! :DİMMU

[Havenless88]

One more thing, Det Nye Riket makes me wanna slay something.

[blackcatcooker]

I agree but it makes me wanna slay someone....

[Havenless88]

This song is fucking brilliant, the first scream is just so fucking creepy and brilliant. Old Dimmu Borgir is really "depressing" music and it gives me a weird feeling but I like it. For All Tid for example, it's creepy music, really gives me the feeling that Satan is near, but it's awesome. All though, I don't hate the new Dimmu Borgir, most because of Vortex' brilliant vocals, hail.

[satanic6stringbender]

love that first growl. gives me the chills.

[BradenTV]

thank you so much I've always wandered what this song is about. I wish I could understand all the lyrics on Stormblast. I even took a course in trying to learn Norwegian but it wasn't too sucessfull lol. Someday I have to go to Norway.

[bribahf]

well even if you can understand the basic norwegian its still hard to understand when "gjennom tidelos morkne drommer" comes out "enomteeeee de loss morknerrrrr trimmah" im sure if shagrath was growling in english you still couldnt understand him
