DIMMU BORGIR
Stormblast
Nuclear Blast
· You’ve read the T-shirt now hear the album.
The classic black T-shirt and jeans may be the uninspired fashion mainstay of the heavy metal world, but a single glance around the room at your average metal concert will yield a world of information. After all, studies have shown that Americans get 60 per cent of their news from T-shirts. Fans of the Scandinavian sensation Dimmu Borgir are used to getting some lingering looks as their fellow headbangers attempt to decipher the phonetic delight scrawled across their torsos. What’s it all about? Pain and pleasure, my friends. Pain and pleasure.
Unleashing a fully re-recorded version of their 2005 release Stormblast, these purveyors of melodic-metal spare no expense in the leather and studs department, not to mention their penchant for KISS makeup. If you enjoy standing in the rain and long walks through the cemetery then you will surely relish this Norwegian band’s ability to create a 3D soundscape that resonates with desolate power.
Reinforced with the previously unreleased tracks "Sorgens Kammer — Del II" and "Avmaktslave," Stormblast thunders and flashes with double drum-pedal fury (courtesy of MAYHEM’s Hellhammer) and inexhaustible Slayer-like machinations.
