Dimmu Borgir are working on a new album!
After a long break, Dimmu Borgir are finally back in the studio! The Norwegian symphonic black metal legends are hard at work on their first studio album since ‘Eonian’ (2018). However, they haven’t been idle in the meantime: with the live album ‘Northern Forces Over Wacken’ and the 30th-anniversary album ‘Inspiratio Profanus’, they’ve released some impressive work.
The upcoming album will also mark a significant change: It will be the first studio album since Spiritual Black Dimensions (1999) without guitarist Galder. Earlier this year, Galder left the band to focus on his solo project Old Man’s Child.
Silenoz Talks About the New Album
Guitarist and vocalist Silenoz shared some insights into the band’s creative process during an interview with Rauta earlier this year:
"We’ve been working on new material. We’ve been at it for quite some time, with interruptions here and there. During the pandemic, we took a bit of a break and worked on the songs individually, as lone wolves, so to speak. Then we got together and started brewing a new concoction."
Silenoz emphasized that the band places great importance on quality and takes their time to meet fans' expectations:
"I think fans are saying, ‘Oh, you need to release a new album’ and blah blah blah. But the thing is, we’d rather take our time, even take an extra year, to make sure it’s better than just good, if you know what I mean. We want to release an album when it’s truly ready."
He ended on a positive note, expressing his hopes for the future:
"We hope to be more active and to share more new music with our fans – both long-time followers and new ones. But yeah, good things take time. And I think it’s safe to say the longer people wait, the better the result will be."
Fans can look forward to what Dimmu Borgir will deliver this time, both musically and conceptually. One thing is certain: it will be dark, epic, and unmistakably Dimmu Borgir!
