Perfection Or Vanity (orchestra) Silenoz and Tjodalv, the Oslo trio infernale quickly gained momentum in the underground scene with their debut EP Inn I Evighetens Mrke. The band released two albums, For All Tid (1994) and Stormblst (1996) before they signed to Nuclear Blast and released Enthrone Darkness Triumphant (1997). This was a major step forwards for the band, and an album that helped change the way the world acknowledged extreme metal in a massive way. DIMMU BORGIR might have started as a pitch-black pioneer of the Norwegian black metal scene, but quickly evolved into a hybrid of a beast, incorporating symphonic elements and other musical influences where few other bands dared to wander.The band evolved, both musically and lineup-wise, over the years, and DIMMU BORGIRincreased their status as a massive audience-draw with classic albums like Spiritual Black Dimensions (1999), Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia (2001) and Death Cult Armageddon (2003). The band has headlined tours and performed on big festivals worldwide, and toured together with non-typical peers as KORN, DEVILDRIVER and JUDAS PRIEST, to mention a few. After a re-recording of the classic Stormblst album in 2005, entitled Stormblst MMV,and the critically acclaimed In Sorte Diaboli (2007) and Abrahadabra (2010), both albums that were musically challenging both the band and their audience, DIMMU BORGIR topped it all with a sold-out performance in their hometown of Oslo, performing with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra and a full scale choir.The band has been on a hiatus for some years, but last year, the band announced that the cooperation with Nuclear Blast Records was extended, and the first release in 2017 will be the highly anticipated DVD of this magnificent show, Forces Of The Northern Night.
