Dimmu Borgir - New Album Track List Revealed + Other Details About The Album


Norwegian symphonic black metallers Dimmu Borgir have finalized the track listing for their new album, "In Sorte Diaboli", due in North America on April 24 via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD will arrive in Europe on April 30 (April 27 in Germany).

"In Sorte Diaboli" was recorded and mixed at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden with producers Fredrik Nordström and Patrik J. Sten. A limited-edition digipack version of the CD will include the bonus cut "The Ancestral Fever" along with a bonus DVD containing the video for the album's opening track, "The Serpentine Offering", shot by director Patric Ullaeus of Sweden's Revolver Film Company. Ordering information on both the regular and digipack version can be found at www.cdon.com.

"In Sorte Diaboli" track listing:

01. The Serpenitine Offering
02. The Chosen Legacy
03. The Conspiracy Unfolds
04. The Ancestral Fever (bonus track)
05. The Sacrilegious Scorn
06. The Fallen Arise
07. The Sinister Awakening
08. The Fundamental Alienation
09. The Invaluable Darkness
10. The Foreshadowing Furnace

As previously reported, Nuclear Blast Records has launched a special "In Sorte Diaboli" news page at this location.

Dimmu Borgir guitarist Silenoz previously told Revolver magazine that the songwriting and recording process for the group's long-anticipated follow-up to 2003's "Death Cult Armageddon" involved none of the intensive pre-production of their last two discs, no demos, and no gallinvanting around with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. "It's definitely going to sound way more epic and bigger than we thought, because Mustis [keyboards] has also contributed with his keyboard ideas," said Silenoz. "I have to admit that some of the keyboard things on 'Death Cult Armageddon' sound better on the demo version than [their symphony versions] on the album. I probably shouldn't say that, but it's true."

This will be Dimmu's first concept album, a story set in always-epic Medieval Europe that also serves as a treatise on the modern-day political and social abuses of organized religion. "There's this dude that works as a priest's assistant, and after a while he just discovers that he has nothing to do with Christianity," said Silenoz of the storyline, which he conceived in full before even a note of music was composed. "He just sort of has this awakening and realizes that he has different abilities and different powers and is leaning more to the dark side."

Dimmu Borgir's current recording lineup is as follows:

Shagrath - Vocals
Silenoz - Guitars
Galder - Guitars
Vortex - Bass
Mustis - Keys
Hellhammer - Drums

Haha, sure as hell beats their three word titles for everything that make no sense, I wouldve expected them to come out with a title like Puritanical Misanthrope Cult.

so today we all learned that if we want to make a concept album we must put " the" in font of "anything".that way it seems more concept than anything else and it seems so fukkin serious and so epic and so novel-like mysterious and cool.The In Sorte Diaboli...

I'm looking forward to this! Very curious about this concept thing. And I always loved epic stuff (I love DCA) so, this should be great too.

Hey screw you, Dimmu is one of the greatest BM Bands to have ever walked, and may I remind you that Galder, their Guitarist, Is from Old mans child, a Fairly Influential BM act, or have you forgotten that? You know what, why am I even talking to an Elitist anyway? I'm just wasting my breath.

Old mans child.


Pink Metal is Kreig.

None the less, I'm looking forword to this. Not because of the concept (I laugh everytime I hear Silenoz's discription) but because it'll be good music.

Old man's child? Influential? Are you serious? Galder is a great musician, dont get me wrong, and I was a huge fan of dimmu borgir for a while but.... influential? Neither band brings that word to mind. If you want an influential band, try bathory.

Hellhammer is one of the best drummers to come out of the BM scene and plays for most.
I am looking forward to this new album, especially with Mustis writing a bit more, though hopefully it wont be another Death Cult type album, The keys weren't that good on it.

Actually yeah, I also know bathory. And I also aknowledge my mistake, it's just that every time Dimmu is brought up it seems to me that some BM Elitist has got to go talking shit on them, and it makes me mad, so I simply felt the need to retort. Lo Siento.

.....the hell? dude, have you forgotten me? i'm a power metaller just like you are (though i know you are into others).........you've got it all wrong, and your reply to what I said was HIGHLY uncalled for. I am not elitist. You are right, Dimmu Borgir are one of the best BM groups......just look at their first few releases and how unique it is to other BM. It's just that NOW they seem to be aiming for a more mall-goth-ish kind of sound, they want to win over Ozzfest attendants and so on. All i did was look at where they've gone to in the past decade, but because what I said was negative and you disagreed you got all hot-headed and didn't get your facts straight. I think you should be saying "Lo Siento" to ME.....And besides i see not the problem with die-hard BMers despising mainstream, polished BM anyway!

Oh, I didn't notice it was you Danzig (I never realized you changed your username, and I can't see the avatar here in the news area.) Still I also Extend my Appologies to you as well, I did get hot headed, once more, It was just that I had moment of anger becasue of all the Anti-Dimmu Elitists is all. Really sorry man.

I cannot wait till this new album comes out! But why the hell does every song begin with the word "the"?
Seems kinda stupid. I guess every song has an individual perception or something.

Who cares! Dimmu beats my fucking head in!!!
