Dimmu Borgir - The Insight and the Catharsis (live)

[slayer666man666]

VORTEX MUST RETURN

[flyingcolour7]

here the best time and the best line up for the band!

[sakkak666]

Although Dimmu still fucking kick all asses, it was definetely better with Nicholas on the drums. 

[CHRIS1974100]

one of the best song from Borgir

[PFGShogun]

Vortex is what made Dimmu different than other black metal bands. He was what made Dimmu so great.

[tombeenken]

I love how vortex burps at the end. Silenoz 3:18 has poor volume knob transition. Bothers me every time.

[ThePulp0]

5:32 - 7:08

PURE EPICNESS!

[Arcturus420]

I has this song on my phone and now i find it hard to listen to the album version, because i much prefer this version.

[enejota74]

I miss this Dimmu Borgir sound, can`t compare Vortex with news adds of abrahadabra... unforgettable line up the best for me!

[VeganInside]

What's with the second solo? I guess Galder couldn't play it then.

[Arcturus420]

@VeganInside He fails on these solos so bad... I;ve always noticed that.... Sure his riffs are good but he is Astennu....

[VeganInside]

@Arcturus420

Yes, and Old Man's Child live solos are the same - either nonexistent or reduced/bad. He's definitely not Astennu. Btw this version is indeed better than the album version, if only there was that second solo.

[Arcturus420]

@VeganInside Mustis and Simen truly shine and Nick Barker's drumming is just impeccable, Galder just needs to kick it up a notch.

[Myrkish]

God I miss Vortex. His singing on this is just epic.

Oh well, at least I can comfort myself with that I have the limited Alive In Torment EP, which has this on it... I love living in Norway.

[ABUSHAHBA]

Vortex only

[Kimberen]

this version of the song is so much better than the more polished ones. More raw

[Bultish]

5:54

[shagrathish]

join the forces THE SPIRITUAL BLACK DIMENSIOOON!!!!!!!!!

[Brokenrunway]

Dimmu is amazing! They were my intro into Black-ish metal, and I love em!! My fave by far!!!!!

[MasoDelubrum]

PAPPALARDO TRA IL PUBBLICO hahaha

[261290]

@MasoDelubrum a che minuto?

[sirlovemehard]

They kicked Nick too... But i have a feeling was was a dick... and an alcoholic... and couldn't really identify with the Norwegians... his mooning ass... saw them at L'Amours in Bklyn... years ago...

[Marduk616]

I am glad I got to see this line up live before they broke apart.

[gdh6200]

New Dimmu's album is coming in September! :D

[ForsakenCries]

3:17 - 4:22 is the part i like most of the song.

i´m very sad to have´t seen them live together with vortex and mustis :(

[xdeadairspacex]

1:55 - 1:57. Beautiful transition. Just like my point over at the album one, It's like Angel and Demon singing.

[misanthropic51]

Nick Barker is the fucking man, his drumming on this song is killer

[Tommeke11]

@Casso14894 Yeah same with me! :D

It's seriously one of the best songs ever written that I know on this moment^^

[samtheman7373]

I can't get enough of this clip. I have the album, but it just doesn't compare to the sound of them live. Wish they would come to New Zealand!!!

[specialDFX]

ah, fuck. that voice can't be replaced.

[samtheman7373]

right you are my friend.

[Dracolavey]

@specialDFX you have the rasson .....vortex is God&Satan+1 XD ajajajajaj <3

[SantomPh]

@specialDFX shagrat or vortex?

[specialDFX]

@SantomPh vortex.

[SantomPh]

@specialDFX I completely agree with you.

[SteadyHaze]

Keyboardist makes me feel like I'm running out of time

[cnnre2005]

Silenoz kick so fucking ass with that hair, I don't like him now, even he's about 40, I want his hair back

[gcaraba26]

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

[undertakerii]

Rigid father, teach me how to comprehend

I'll commit myself to understand... :) epic

[faygohomie69]

This and Kings of the Carnival Creation are their best songs without a doubt.

[XioC652]

I love this band. as well as cof. (and as always, their older shit was the best) But, even in todays music, their new stuff is still much better than the main stream shit.

[HeavenTornAsunder666]

Well said mate, there is more evil in the charts than in a terrorist cells's suggestion box.

3 words.

FUCK

THE

MAINSTREAM!

thumb up if you agree, piss off if you prefer miley cyrus to shagrath \¬¬/,

[NvousOfNO1]

@HeavenTornAsunder666 Hails and Horns to your comment, and as for Miley, I'd perfer to Strip Rape Strangle Dismember and Piss on her corpse..\m/ ( ^- . -^) \m/

[kingofthedistant]

@HeavenTornAsunder666 sorry to say but dimmu has sold over 80,000 albums of one album thats pretty mainstream even for black metal its like Vader selling out 500,000

[avend666]

@HeavenTornAsunder666 Yeah except DB is mainstream. We love them thought.

[ianf1217]

@avend666 Mainstream? Since when have you heard them on a local radio station or seen them on MTV?

[sgtzero1337]

@ianf1217 Gorgoroth has been on MTV and i think they're more underground than DB so who knows... They might of been aired before

[Bultish]

@HeavenTornAsunder666

What is mainstream? if a band is unorthodox and creative or lets just say "non-mainstream" and manages to touch alot of people and get a massive audience, are they by default then not good anymore? Or for instance in dimmu borgirs case, say the album stormblåst, is that not good anymore cause dimmu several years later "made it" ?

[HeavenTornAsunder666]

@Bultish I doesn't really matter, but if a band starts making more money, and they stray from their roots musically because of that, it ruins the charisma that the band has. Take Cradle of filth for example, everything was great up until about 2002. then they released Nymphetamine and although some songs were ok, you got the sense that they had just gone, fuck it, lets make something we know people will love. that ruins it, they used to make albums from what they want, which made them great.

[Liberwyvern]

@HeavenTornAsunder666 you do know that dimmu has sold more than 80,000 alone with enthrone darkness so they are quite mainstream.

[WetFart8000]

Well, all jokes aside this has to be the most inspirational song to black metal music; and Vortex only makes it more epic.

[cnnre2005]

See you in hell Vortex mother fucker

[CryingRaven666]

Vortex is the shit.

[cnnre2005]

agree absolutely but he was a mother fucker with the band

[CryingRaven666]

If everything Dimmu has said about him and Mustis so far is true. I hate to say this but I don't think we'll ever know exactly what happened. I just hope this isn't the last we hear about Vortex and Mustis.

[WetFart8000]

Holy shit... I heard the bass in this vid!!

[WikiWikiShazaam]

im not gonna lie XD i never really did like Borgir till i saw this haha

[Aheadstix85]

What!?, did shagrath really kick Nicholas out of Dimmu!, how could he kick out the blast master.

[XDarkMoleX]

3:19 best part ^^

[paolo80pr]

5.27 - 7.08 orgasm!!!!!

[idapeppp]

I always get tears in my eyes when I listen to this. So pure. Gah.

[giggoth666]

same thing with me

[rediscoverySX]

where is balder?

[spidervampyre81]

You mean Galder? He is right there in the beginning.

[rediscoverySX]

Jaja, yes, man. I see him right now. Thanks. But he really deserves to be more implicated on the video, don´t you think?. I mean, it´s all about Sagrath, Silenoz, and Vortex. (Balder it´s a affectionate way to call him because of his abundant hair). Go Dimmu 4 ever

[timma00004]

hey Balder is fucking great HAVE YOU HEARD OF OLD MANS CHILD. you ignorant fuck. He is fucking great and I think his style of screaming is better then Shaggys. Shagrath is an arrogant fuck that kicked barker out of the band because he was mad at him.

[rediscoverySX]

AND WTF????? Who says Galder isn´t great?? have you read my comment or wath? I said that Galder DESERVES TO BE MORE IMPLICATED ON THE VIDEO, because he´s fucking great. Try to read wath I wrote first, and then write something with sense. OF COURSE I HEARD OLD MAN´S CHILD, im a black metal MUSICIAN, and my band plays Dommaker live a lot of times. Im not just a fucking average fan

[timma00004]

The fact you called him balder is what made me send that message. should I call Varg a homo because he looks homeless?

[rediscoverySX]

Ok, that´s because a matter of differences between cultures, maybe. In my country, Argentina, that´s a way to call him, but it´s not an insult. It´s an affectionate way to call him, that´s all. I know there´s a lot of stupids saying "Dimmu burger" and all that shit, but believe me, it´s not my case. I love this band and specially Galder and Vortex

[timma00004]

ok i understand sorry.

[pandorasbox13181]

Varg doesn't look homeless. :( He's been in prison for 16 years, which I'm sure you know. He looks tired that's all.

Poor guy. But I heard he's back with his family now :)

[hungry4stink]

poor guy? um, he is insane

[samtheman7373]

some of the greatest minds of all time were insane, and you don't have to be insane to kill someone ;)

[billnoceros]

varg vikernes killed in self defense

[hungry4stink]

and what about the (several) tonnes of explosives they found in his house? self defense? the guy is a nut

[billnoceros]

oh yeah. haha. forgot about that.

[YogShoggotha]

Vortex ftw

[Nephillim10]

Dark and very beautiful! One of my favorite songs!

[vianegativa]

Galder rule !

[bloody6mortician]

5:27. Amazing, while simple, keyboard solo.

[xxcobhcdrxx]

vortex makes the oprah voice sound orgasmic

[xxcobhcdrxx]

hey i said this 2 weeks ago!

[YogShoggotha]

lol you mean opera?

[xxcobhcdrxx]

fag

[BloodPython67]

Add:

&fmt=18

to the end of the URL. Trust me it helps!

[Darnokth]

3:20 EPIC and genius part

[250bpmshaun]

This is when they sounds the best! When they had nick barker on drums. They have kinda lost their live sound now which sucks :(

[jeinn66]

vortex voice is so pure. best!!

[b2kadicts]

6:15 ::headbangs::

[ScarecrowZero]

great excellent song, this rules

[deadandstilldying6o6]

Last good album for Dimmu's old/mid era!

[monsoonostrich]

don't like puritanical misonthropic euphoria?

[sverdslynger]

overall this is my favourite song of dimmu

[Actrannia]

I love the piano of this song ctm!!! @.@ dimmu borgir ROX!

[kawasakkki]

orgue..

[ulkepulka]

yeah mustis is awesome :D

[peyhater]

"Yeah, and so is most of the first one. It's Galder. He can't play Astennu's solos."

Galder is alot better than Astennu, they shorten most of their older songs if youve noticed.

[sverdslynger]

are you sure? haven't been any memorable solos since he left. asking here, have no idea..

[peyhater]

kings of the carnival creation solo. good day.

[werodave13]

i can't find the death vol. 7 dvd anywhere it has this song on it does anybody know where i can find it?

[0murmaider]

magnificent song!! i like this version better than the album version....except for the solos...

[intoahotspot]

They should put Vortex in vocals....;)

[rocktahr]

No. Their the best on earth how they are now! :P

[JarekvD]

isn't the second solo missing ? ???

[Daishi09]

Yeah, and so is most of the first one. It's Galder. He can't play Astennu's solos.

[66nataS]

I don't know how often it has been said here, but Vortex' Voice (especially @ 5:55) is so awesome!!! I get creeps over and over again!

Of course all the other instruments are first-class too!!

[Blixx77]

Shagrath's voice sounds nearly as good as the SBD days, which I think were his best.

[rittersteel]

knowledge is power!, and the power is mine! its all mine!! fucking adrenaline rush

[triplextoto]

i love vortex <3!!!!

[sige516]

DIMMU BORGIR ROCKS!!!

[Thrashlord]

why is everyone so gay with vortex? why cant you guys compliment the drums, you know the incredibly fast blasting? and how about the keyboards? or guitars? you guys are all fags

[Boyd89]

Yeh heaven forbid we pick our favourite part of the song...

I think it's ALL fucking amazing, but his voice has such a soaring quality to it that just makes it float above.

[Rednasyl28]

I like the guitars at 1:04 :)

Oh and the piano is freakin great in this one

It's really all of them being great and being combined that makes this song one of their best, but Vortex gets a lot of recognition for some reason.

[LordGorgoneion]

Gosh, Vortex has such an awesome voice!

[shadowsfallrules]

i was supposed to see them last night but i got too sick to go so i had to give my ticket up

im fuckin pissed

[Kalki13]

yeah, the end part with Vortex practically induces an out-of-body experience. Its one of those lyrical moments when I think they'd be better pigeonholed as White Metal even though the sound is transcendent.

"Father" is what Jesus called the Creator...

[dieterderblau]

fucking WORD!!!!!

[pesMata]

best of the best

[czcdrummer]

Father..teach me how to comprehend..!! fuck!! i love that sentence!!

Hail dimmu

Hail ICS Vortex!

[Synskis]

Gooseflesh!

[YogShoggotha]

yeah i always get chills from this especially that last bit...oh my goodness VORTEX \m/

gotta play that bit over again sometimes

[samtheman7373]

that makes two of us, i have spent the last two weeks listening to this version (which i prefer to the album version) and i tend to keep this on repeat and show it to everyone i can \m/ dimmu borgir!!!

[brutalgoret]

5.55' is an ass destroyin' moment!

[GorgorothSatan]

if this ain't art then what art is ?

[lookralphsbak]

shagrath has a fucking unbelievable scream!!! vortex is epic as fuck... this is one of my favorite songs... fucking EPIC as fuck

[blloodthirster]

Dimmu Borgir is great but they are even better live i think hail Dimmu Borgir

[arkenpt]

Vortex f*ucking rules! that voice is unique, last 1:30, is pure poetry to the senses.

[Kriis88]

unbelievable. their music transcends anything else.

[FrozenAngelO]

Dimmu Fucking ruleees!!!!!!

[ascountvampire]

Damn shit!!!! The periods 3:18-4:22 and the last minute anh a half makes me wanna cry!!! They're incredible!!! Fuck!! If this is not art then wtf is art??? One of the best songs sure I've ever heard!!! the best group in music!!!

[xcorr77]

last two minutes = greatest thing ever. period.

[jgdubbs88]

u can have ur cake have u ever heard of devil cake haha

[DeadDoll68]

I never tire of this song. Seriously this shit gives me the chills every time I hear it. Yeah I'm talking bout you Vortex. <3

unf ::lighter:: \m/

[cerebrvm]

The last 2 minutes... ICS Vortex...

[silenthillfan999]

definatly the best song they have!!!(even though they're all good)

[devastationthijs]

man i keep playing this song , fucking nice

[Paakkeli]

Yes, this is best Dimmus single!!

[phobiist]

Best song Dimmu Borgir has ever made imo

[Vladimast]

I agree, the end of this song is the best metal music I have ever heard. singing, keys, heavy bass/guitar/drums.

bad ass. Dimmu is my fav band (wish they weren't doing the satan thing, but i guess you cant have your cake and eat it too.)

[DeadDoll68]

lol Satan. cake.

[Blo0dThirst]

best among all songs of dimmu for me..

[zekaron]

One of the best Borgir songs EVER!

[madmicl06]

it was the best dimmu time: year 2001! hair stuffs, jackson guitars, black scenery and enegry play!!!!!!now is easiest =:(

[cymon14]

Best dimmu borgir song ever!!!

[gatesoftanhauser]

3:22-3:37: amazing atmospheric stuff. Really love it. Blends beauty with the death and driving background.

[gatesoftanhauser]

Mustis is amazing, I swear. Yeah Vortex's vocals did slip a little bit here, but give the guy credit, he's a falsetto! You know how rare that is?

[emirkara]

bravaaa so cool song

[lundgren7]

hm no offens but vortex didnt do as good here

[DeadDoll68]

oh give the man a break. live vs. studio.

huuuuge diffrence. you can't do another take live. he did damn good. lol can you hold your breath that long sing that well AND play a geetar at the same time? : P

[lundgren7]

yes, actually i can do that

[samtheman7373]

to be honest, i think he sings better on this version then on the album, amazing vocals while playing bass = truly epic and moving music. \m/!!!

[damianit7]

PIOOOLA

[ShreddedMasques]

on the way to becoming one of my favorite dimmu songs. the music is beautifully written.

[NostalgiaGrows]

LOVE MUSTIS!!! SUCH A DARK ATOMOSPHERE TO THIS SONG!!! xD

-Rene

[DeathMetal158]

Mustis=God

Shagrath=Greater than God

Silenoz=Amazing Lyricist

Galder=Pretty Brilliant

Vortex=Fucking Amazing

this was before Hellhammer :-(

but Nicholas Barker kicks ass even tho hes fat as hell

he is godly

hail dimmu

[mmaking13]

One word:

METAL

[hednaland]

Two words, actually: AWESOME METAL!

[mOrtpengu1n]

love this song

[osmanthrax]

:o vortex... that!! voice!!

[drummer1brt2gzs]

Nick Barker is a fantastic xtreme metal drummer!

[Ozzmosis]

better than the studio version. the solos arent as easy to hear on this, but everything else sounds great

[Vanchmeister]

Shaggrath is irreplaceable in Dimmu Borgir. He gives Dimmu the whole ambient sound, the black metal sound, the Dimmu sound! Dimmu would be a good band without him, but with him, they are godly.

[David8472666]

Does anyone know of any other songs where Vortex sings, and not just this, Kings or Progenies. Thanks.

[Ozzmosis]

allehelgens dod i helvelds rike,hybrid stigmata, maelstrom mephisto,sympozium (lyrics written by vortex, good deal of it is him), reptile, dreamside dominions.

[EclipseInParadise]

I agree that Simen puts Shagrath to shame! I think his voice isn't as good as it used to be either.

[stianaarstad]

musically, and vocally, this song is stunning. personally, in terms of songwriting, spiritual black dimensions and stormblast have got to be completely original. Brilliant, and unrepetitive. =D

[StyggoSebastian]

I dont really think so, Shagrath got great vocals, and i think it would ruin the whole "Dimmu Borgir Sound", if he was replaced by Simen.

If you listen to Simen on Arcturus, well yeah, then he's great, BUT.. Garm was a 1000 times better :D

Thats MY opinion

[seod]

Im not really into Dimmu borgir but i must say that these guys are very good live.

[Dungarth]

they should just let Vortex do the vocals, get rid of shagrath.
