At first I aimed to write an article about this record but I thought it would get so musically technical as this album has a lot to say, so I just want to transform it to a review and say why this record is a flawless performance. Dimmu Borgir is commonly accepted for being one of the giants of the genre; some critics would argue about their musical alteration or one would say they are not as extreme as they should be these days. Others would say after Mustis and ICS Vortex departed, they haven't had the essence anymore. But a band cannot satisfy all the listeners equally; they had to move on at some point. Read more ›› |

The first time I listened to this album I was a little shocked - the sound has changed in many ways compared to the Spiritual Black Dimensions album. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but compaired to the other albums this one is just not as strong... This time more symphonic elements added, which made the album more melodic and less 'black'. For all the true black metal fans out there this album would probably find it quite disappointing. That's the same thing that happened after Cradle of Filth's "Midian". Read more ›› |

One of the greatest metal albums in the world. Its magical ambience enchants me over and over again. The synths and orchestrations are probably the most stylish in the band's history. Also the other parts and elements, including riffs, melodies, raw and clean vocals, structure of the songs etc, are extremely magnificent.

Even if you don't like black metal in general, I'd recommend checking this out. It is truly a unique experience. I hear a lot of death metal in it, to be honest.

Good album but I find myself losing focus around the end. The songs start to blend together.

A lesson on how to make annoying Swedish melodic death even more over the top and twice as stupid. Listen to Arch Enemy and imagine your typical power metal keyboards and stupid over the top distorted vocals.

I remember when it was out , but this was not my first DM album, now I listen I enjoy it band has good keyboard parts , melodies, somehow going forward in evolution, now its ok. Best song is ''Kings Of The Carnival Creation'' My first DB song I listened on Black metal radio in 2004. I still remember that summer.
