Our Take

Prepare your black eyeliner and leather jackets, because Dimmu Borgir are back with a bang in their latest offering "Forces Of The Northern Night". This double live album is a masterpiece of symphonic black metal, combining epic orchestral arrangements with blistering guitar riffs and thunderous drumming.

From the moment the haunting choir kicks in on the opening track "Xibir", you know you're in for a wild ride. The band's performance is flawless, with frontman Shagrath delivering his demonic vocals with a ferocity that will leave you breathless. The addition of a full orchestra adds an extra layer of grandeur to the already epic sound, making each track feel like an otherworldly experience.

Standout tracks include the bombastic "Gateways" and the dramatic "Mourning Palace", both of which showcase Dimmu Borgir's ability to seamlessly blend melodic beauty with brutal heaviness. The production on the album is top-notch, capturing the energy and power of the band's live show without sacrificing any of the clarity or depth of the music.

Overall, "Forces Of The Northern Night" is a triumph for Dimmu Borgir, cementing their status as one of the leading bands in the symphonic black metal genre. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to the world of extreme metal, this album is sure to leave you spellbound and wanting more. So grab your horns and raise them high, because Dimmu Borgir are here to conquer all in their path.
