Dimmu Borgir sucks. Dimmu Borgir are sellouts. Dimmu Borgir have a stupid image and idiotic videos. Dimmu Borgir kick members out with no explanation. Dimmu Borgir is only about squeezing cash from stupid kids who are naive enough to buy their albums. They suck, they suck, they suck!

If you believe that any of the above statements are true, you may as well stop reading now. This review will not take into consideration anything other than music. In other words, if you expect a biased review aimed against one of the most popular extreme bands, you'll be better off helping your father cut the lawn or doing dishes for your mum, because you won't find what you're looking for here.

If you like Abrahadabra by Dimmu Borgir you can make two great mistakes like I did. Let me warn you! The first thing is listening to classical music like Mozart or Haydn. It won't take more than a single stroke to realize that all the so-called great orchestrations are simply nothing in comparison to the dead composers. The second big fail is listening to real and raw black metal. To quote the famous snake, if you do something of that, "your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." This album is neither anything of black metal nor of classical compositions.

Mustis has departed, and no ICS Vortex clean vocals for the first time since 1999. Can Dimmu Borgir escape from the massive attack of the fans this time?

Traditionally, the album starts with an instrumental piece; however, except for some seconds, it is not appealing at all and far away from masterpieces like "Fear And Wonder", "Perfection Or Vanity" or even "Det Nye Riket".

And, while there are blind haters, there is also an awful lot of blind followers who judge only by name and not by the quality of the material. Sheeps who follow the mainstream herd. Conformists.


Sheeps and posers are found both in the mainstream, AND in underground metal circles, I think many underground metal fans think they are exempt from being those things, purely because they hate anything thats popular and mainstream. At the end of the day, its all about people being fake, and trying to appease their peers. Even if that means compromising their own genuine opinions/views in order to do that. This occurs in all walks of life, and in all types of music fans. Conformity in metal fans is not exclusively the realm of blind fanboys. Blind haters/blind fanboys, its all the same to me, and equally pathetic.

I don't see the point with this whole mainstream debate. If we take Dimmu as an example, in what way has their music become worse? And now I mean musically worse. If you don't like a band for its music, then fine. But if you want to throw shit at a bands music, you better explain why it's bad.

Going mainstream doesn't have to mean worse music. "True" black metal is pherhaps one of the most overrated genres (when talking about music). It has a grim and dark feeling, but lots of it comes from other aspects than music (bad production shouldn't be a positive thing, if I want it, why not just break my speakers). In a way it's comparable to pop, in which you use and image to sell your sub-par music.

Now Dimmu is a band thats based on this very image, but I do think they produce good music too. Their sound has matured from the awful synths of Enthroned, and they are IMO one of the few bands that use an orchestra well. I simply can't see how their music is worse than before. ISD was a step backwards, but now they seem to be going forward again, and it's a good thing.

Sure, there are posers among elitists or tr00 kvlt metal fans. That's the difference between being an elitist and a purist, imo.
An elitist will often base his/her appreciation more on external or superficial factors than on the music itself.
A purist will base his/her appreciation first and foremost on the music itself and the other factors will play a little role in the balance.

In that sense, I'm much more a purist than an elitist, I think.
I've been active on extreme metal forums, so I met lots of tr00 kvlt kids who seem to desperately try to get acceptance and recognition and gave me the impression they didn't listen to the music they praised.

"True" black metal can't be overrated if not many actually listen to it. The bad production was originally supposed to be a way to rebel against mainstream music. Worst amp, worst mic, etc. Although depends on which demo, EP, album you pick. If it's Pure Fucking Armageddon, I understand, if it's Deathcrush, that's perfectly listenable. How do you use images to "sell your music" anyway? Lots of these BM records have limited release and the best way to get them is download via Rapidshare or something.. all because there's a "HailSatan666" stereotype doesn't mean all underground BM is like that, nor is it used as an image to market anything.

Dimmu Borgir were a passable/decent BM act initially, but they then overdid the whole orchestra thing (no, they don't use it well). Nowadays they're pretty much typical BM chord progressions, blast beats, orchestra and that's kind of it. I don't see it as their sound having matured. It's really easy accessible, dulled down and some songs are downright symphonic metal ("Progenies of The Great Apocalypse", which also happens to be their most popular).

Sure it can be overrated. Maybe I don't understand the concept. People praise it for un musical reasons. Most of it is really bad and unimaginative (music wise). I'm really fed up with people who complain about "clean production". Why would you produce music with a lower quality than you can. I do know why they (BM bands) did it, I just think it is really stupid.

I think dimmu has been getting better with every release (again apart from ISD). How id their music mainstream. I might be messing up the words again, but to me mainstream does not mean having the most listners, but doing what everyone else does. That is what the BM scene is usually about. They sing about the same stuff as everyone else and compete about who can have the worst productian and still pass it as music.

Name another band that does similar music as dimmu. I'm not saying they are unique, and that their music is that special. Just that it's better than it used to be.

Wait, they actually compete for worst production?... Uhuh. It depends, really. Some of it has a certain aesthetic or atmosphere or whatever that can be enjoyed. If it's a bedroom BM act, it can be ignored. If it's a sub-par demo by a band that would later become a big BM name, it's usually treasured for "historical significance".

Well then, if you think so, I do believe your tastes are rather different... (and not in a good way, I think). Mainstream music is anything that can appeal to the average joe or mass consumers. Mostly catchy and simplistic music but with some sort of hook. The BM "ideology" rejects that.

The whole blast beat bombardment and cold booming progressions they use can be compared to Marduk and Immortal, I guess (only to some degree). Only Dimmu overuse orchestral elements and are far more accessible. But in many of their songs they're similar to Cradle of Filth, especially in their new single Gateways.

Because that's the way metal is supposed to sound. Metal is not supposed to sound too good. If you polish the sound too much, it just sounds sterile and utterly boring because there is no authenticity left.
If metal sounds computerized, sorry but it automatically sucks, in my mind.

To be honest, many times people complain of "bad production", it actually turns out to be good, unless it simply does sound like it was recorded by plugging a Walkman into a speaker.

For example, Welcome to Hell is often considered by professional reviewers to have "terrible production", which makes it obvious that they've never actually heard a metal demo.

I still don't see a reason to produce music at a lower quality. I don't think it gives it any more atmosphere. You can actually create dark and cold music with good sound quality, it's just a little harder.

My point is that I don't see the problem with being mainstream. If your music is good and lots of people like that, then fine. BM is usually really simple music and the whole BM image is really rediculous. Rebelling against religion with religious symbols, not very mature. Dimmu is doing the same thing, and that's one of the worst aspects of this band. At least they do it i a self-parodic way.

I guess it comes down to taste then. Sure, it's not as if they are creating the greatest classical music masterpieces, but I actually like what they are doing with the orchestra. It's possible it sounds like cradle, but the differences are a lot bigger than between many BM bands. The orchstra sounds a lot better than a synth, and that's enough reason to use it.

ANY genre of music can be deemed "really simple". Hip hop can be stripped down to generating a basic beat and speaking fast to it, black metal - strumming inverted power chords, grindcore - strumming a few chords and pulling some open strings, traditional heavy metal - just play some generic hard riffs and add a bluesy solo.

The inverted cross thing is indeed ironic, but it seems to tick some people off. I think it originated from slapping those crucified Jesus sculptures and turning them upside down, which is seen as offensive. Not sure. The pentagram is now pretty much the typical occult symbol. It also has a connection with LaVeyan Satanism.

Self-parodic way? Funny you mention it, as Dimmu are pretty much self-parodies now. Reduced to a joke.

Got Mayhem?

There really isn't a good reason to argue that Metal either HAS to be gritty or HAS to be clean. Different types of music can typically appeal to more people with a certain production value but if there is anything that Metal has shown over the years is that rules are meant to be broken.

Take a look at the Black/Thrash sound of early Mayhem, Venom, Merciless, and other first and early second wavers. These bands had energy in their sound that, in my opinion, was truly one of a kind. No bands have come close to matching the raw intensity of "Deathcrush" or "Behind the Black Door" and I believe that production plays a big role in that.

Now, at the same time I don't want to listen to prog that sounds like it was recorded on a washboard. Genre can dictate a general production sound, which is a good thing in many cases (like prog). However, that's a general rule, not a law. On the topic of Symphonic/Orchestral BM, you CAN have a raw sound (Obtained Enslavement) or you can have a polished to hell one (Dimmu Borgir). Neither case is 'wrong' and both bands have shown that they can do wonderfully with either.

Not all genres are simple. I'm not saying my musical taste is above anyone elses, just different. As genres I don't like the ones you said. I don't like the in your face attitude of metal. I like the melodic and melancholic parts. Maybe dimmu isn't the most complex band, but I think the music thay make today is more interesting than it used to be, and deifnently more complx than troo BM.

I'm not sure if you understood me correctly. I meant that dimmus image is a big joke, and I think they are aware of it. Hating christianity is fine, but the way they do it just makes them (BM scene) seem pathetic. Sure it's funny to see the church's reaction, but there are far better ways of opposing religion.

No wonder our tastes have nothing in common, then, if you think like that. Imo, it's precisely this in-your-face attitude that is the soul of metal music. Without it, metal is nothing, from my point of view.

You have hit the nail right on the head there, and that is precisely why I have such a big problem with elitist mindsets. They often allow external and superficial factors to effect how they see the music. So it becomes impossible for them to judge certain bands/albums purely on musical terms, because they allow completely non-musical factors and biases to cloud their judgement.

For me, the only thing that has ever mattered to me, is purely the music. How popular/underground a band is, or other people's opinions play absolutely no part in how I judge an album. I have been bashed by both elitists, and fanboys, either for criticising at all, or not criticising enough. But imo, once you start allowing others to dictate your musical tastes/opinions, even if that is in the slightest way, thats when you become a sheep/conformist.

As for the concept of overrating/underrating certain bands, its actually an extremely moot concept. Because there is no way a popular band can be underrated, even if they are great, and there's no way an unpopular band can be overrated, even if they suck. So as a valid arguement over the worth of certain bands, the underrated/overrated thing really holds no water in any such debates.

That's exactly what fanboys are doing all the time. Allowing tons of external factors to cloud their judgment, making them unable to criticize and see when music from a band they love sucks. For them, even the crappiest shit is good by definition, as it comes from a band they label as great. And it's, imo, even worse than elitism, because it contributes to a decrease in musical quality. And that's why I can stand elitists but I utterly despise fanboys. At least most (not all) elitists have a certain level of criticism. But elitists are far from flawless.

You are of course totally correct, but blind fanboys are very easy targets. Its like, "album X is by band B, therefore it must be great". Its a very shallow and silly attitude, and very easy to criticise. Elitists however, come across as feeling their opinions/views are superior, and in certain cases, total fact and beyond reproach. And I find any such stance, particularly when its to do with something like validity and worth in music, to be quite ridiculous. Elitists are certainly far from flawless, which is exactly the opposite of what they think they are. I think with elitists my annoyance comes from them thinking they are some sort of higher authority on whole genres of metal, and indeed metal itself. Wheras fanboys usually only think they are a higher authority when it comes to opinions on their favourite bands. I would agree that as a whole, and in general, fanboys are worse than elitists, but there is a certain section of elitism which is just as bad and annoying as fanboyism.

So fucking classic. A band that was respected among metal fans becomes very famous, sells a lot of albums, can be seen on TV etc. etc. Suddenly, they suck. It's funny that their sudden suckage coincides with their commercial success. Examples:
Metallica
Dimmu Borgir
Cradle of Filth

Don't get me wrong. I'm not claiming that those bands only release great albums and that we should praise whatever they record, because it's not true. Each band has their ups and downs.
But most people start hating such bands the moment they achieve widespread recognition, and forget their music. Hell, I'm sure that most of those haters don't even listen to the music they bash.



That's so true!

It's fun to hate somel bands. They seem cooler that way...:hopeless:

If this was from an totally unknown band it would be titled "masterpiece, great work, amazing, bla bla bla"...

Pff

I hate as much "Elitists" as "fanboys". I prefer listen to music and make my own opinion. That's why i don't give a shit to all comments coming from either one of those sides. Most of the times they suck and only are based on hate / blind love for a particular band (specially the most famous), and had nothing to do with the music/album in itself.

So to any hater / fanboy i let here my antecipated answer :

I hate as much "Elitists" as "fanboys". I prefer listen to music and make my own opinion. That's why i don't give a shit to all comments coming from either one of those sides. Most of the times they suck and only are based on hate / blind love for a particular band (specially the most famous), and had nothing to do with the music/album in itself.

So to any hater / fanboy i let here my antecipated answer :


agreed. elitists usually suck ass

That argument doesn't work.
