The best black metal album in history! I bought the CD in 1997. Now my 14 years old daughter loves metal and this CD. Last summer we were on Megadeth concert. I'm metal daddy :)
This album has gotten me into black metal when I was young. It is so well composed and so wicked, with great lyrics and Shagrath's voice is great to say the least. This one is timeless and coming back to it is always a delight!
It has some cheesy lyrics here and there... "Lust, sex and sodomy", " we spit and piss on his sacred flesh" and many others, but musically it's flawless. Oh, and they were 19-20 when they wrote this, so the immaturity is to be expected....
Maybe it's just me, but I kinda would love to hear from Stian Aarstad and find out what attracted him to black metal given he seemed like such an odd man out (his work in Dimmu and Enthral, popping up here and there engineering other black metal albums...) But I am happy to see his contributions being properly acknowledged, especially since the Dimmu of today is a husk of what they used to be.

For the 1st time I saw them live in Katowice at Metalmania Festival '98. :) So yeah, I'm old too. ;) I've even got their autographs. ^^ The show was just AMAZING! Next day I've bought this album, "For All Tid" and "Stormblast". :>
It is very rare to to listen to a whole album without skipping any songs . This is an example of such an album , perfect from beginning to end , the songs seamlessly intertwine
That's the song that got me to pick up the album. Heard it randomly on someone's myspace back in the day lol. Needless to say I wasn't disappointed. While In Death's Embrace is great, A Succubus In Rapture and Spellbound are the top contenders for me. Also, the guitar tone on this album is terrific.
@@hauntedhotdog Great songs in this album, but Spitural black dimensions' Reptile and Dreamside Dominions are the greatest songs they ever produced. Abrahadabra's Dimmu Borgir and Eonian's Interdimensional Summit also give me goosebumps.
One of my all-time favourite music albums 👌 I can always go back to it no matter when or how long it's been, and it always gets me impressed. Love it!!
El mejor álbum de Dimmu... Muchos aportes y enriquecimiento artístico y sin duda alguna ese piano lo hizo brillar lástima que no se le atribuyó el reconocimiento que merece siendo el corazon de la banda y lo que le dio ese tono que distinguió a esta banda tan especial. Ojalá que por lo menos nos traigan un álbum como este en algún momento!
Dang! Great memories of the homies and I in our late teen years. Just cruising the streets of Los Angeles, California in a '96 Ford Explorer bumping this!! We had all the cute girlies smiling, turning their heads, looking at us; three metalhead locos enjoying life. 🤘😆🤘
one of the most influence blackmetal albums ever among the compilation of Gods of Darkness'96. this earlier Dimmu Borgir album is eternal best blackmetal album, classic. i love Dimmu because of this album🤘🏼 HAIL DIMMU BORGIR!
49:26 Pure epicness till the end of the album, what a way to close a masterpiece. (originally 'Raabjørn speiler draugheimens skodde' wasn't included on the album)
Raabjørn song originally is from For All Tid But For All Tid Album songs, specially this song and others Like Hunnerkongens was re-recorded at 98 EP Godless Savage Garden
My teenage years, so much power in this. This for me is best dimmu borgir album, every song is classic, catchy melodies, melanholy, great riffs, its simple and great. Every song have personality and have that catchy melodies that are so legendary. After this album borgir goes to much proggressive and experimental.
Unimaginably beautiful, along with Sear Bliss.. though my tears still can't put out the flame... when I die soon, I want to pass away while I listen to intensely beautiful art work like this, Sear Bliss's Forsaken Symphony and early Dimmu Borgir... I want to gaze up at the night sky and paint the stars with my warm blood as I hold on tight to my White Jackson RR24 preparing for the birth of eternity.. far beyond sorrow, far beyond beauty.. far beyond the grandeur of melancholy.. and words have lost all meaning... Mettle till the bitter end... With love and bloody kisses, Sen
Returning to my teens. There was some controversy about commercial back in the days about the lyrics chancing to english....But I loved it and I still do.
this one is my personal favorite dimmu album ever; perhaps because I had some of the best times of my life when this album came out and I played the shit out of it ... it's embedded itself into my life force and my death force when I'm gone
The moment in 12:27 and on is, was and will be the moment of musical perfection for me. And it has not changed since my youth, when i heard this first time.
Such a darker element from their later work. Absolute masterpiece. 27:20 is such a gem with that nasty bass leading in with the layered guitars. Just good stuff.
Great balance of Black Metal styles with this one! Riffs are fantastic and well thought out. A great transitional album from the more Medieval approach of Stormblast.
bought the album when it came out, and have never found another album that ever came close to this. the atmosphere the technique, the mastering, the melodies, the juxtaposition of symphonic keyboards and distorted guitars. please if anyone knows another album /band of this caliber, let us know :)
Some of my favorite parts: 22:00 that scream is incredible 25:30 strong Stormblåst-vibes, always loved this riff! 27:22 how can you not love this part? 41:34 So much atmosphere! 47:43 Honestly I could repeat this part forever. It's one of the most beautiful musical parts of their entire discography and one of the most beautiful musical parts I know. There are way too many others to mention. Such a great record. I feel like the production is a bit too polished and lifeless (Edit: I don't think it's lifeless anymore, just a bit too compressed for my liking), but thankfully the keyboard arrangements and beautifully melodic riffs more than make up for that, and create one hell of an atmospheric record. One of their finest efforts alongside Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia and Death Cult Armageddon.
John Zackarias you say strong stormblåst riffs, the Reason os, that they blanned To but Some of this almums songs In stormblåst, but they used those songs what originally blanned To stormblåst, they used them To this Album. Old dimmu rules, i get my cd first print 1997. And for all tid and stormblåst, great Albums. I dont like New dimmu. After spiritual black dimensions they go different style of metal, and it is not black metal. Old good times from 90's, those wos great times. And In here finland, we have many great black metal bands, old ones and New bands. Hail To the True black metal!!!!
This was such a good album.. I did like Spiritual Black Dimensions, but this one and Godless Savage Garden have such a unique tone to them...and Entrance is still one of the best songs ever. Stormblast was great, pure raw black, but I still keep this one in pretty heavy rotation. Good to see it up here, and hopefully introduce a new audience to a classic sound!
Entrance is my favorite one too, but it has a few other competitors. A Succubus in Rapture just takes it to a new Dimension of the Spiritual and Black variety (haha), LOL. Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia was my first, I love that one just as much, sometimes more, but I think this one wins for me.
Their best ever album. An overall fantastic release, and an essential black metal album. I ve always thought of them as a user friendly version of Emperor (no offence intended), which actually is quite good, as a concept and as a way to perhaps introduce people to black metal, who otherwise would be unable or unwilling to comprehend it. Thank you Dimmu for this fantastic album. I also like a lot their ''For All Tid'' album , if I spell it correctly.
The is the 1st time I listened to the whole album and I'm amazed, damn!. It's not pure BM and that's just great, some old school Thrash metal roots, symphonic atmosphere and great vocals. It's a Masterpiece from DM.
Discovered some great black metal stuff from 1994 onward, but this one marked the decade for me. Hell I even didn't have the money to buy the album back then but every song stuck like gum. Tried to catch them all on cassette from the local metal radio show.
Man, this is for me the best Black Mteal album ever released. Just wonderful! Everything on this disc is 10.0 note: the cover, the production, the compositions, the whole atmosphere. One of the best releases in the 90's. I hope it will be relaunched soon with bonus. \,,/ \,,/

They never topped the melodic staples of this album, Dimmu went too mainstream after this.
Spellbound by The Devil Is killing song 🖤🤘🤘🤘

Thank you Dimmu for this fantastic album. I also like a lot their ''For All Tid'' album , if I spell it correctly.
The is the 1st time I listened to the whole album and I'm amazed, damn!. It's not pure BM and that's just great, some old school Thrash metal roots, symphonic atmosphere and great vocals. It's a Masterpiece from DM.
Oh fuck off with the gatekeeping. No one gives a shit if you think it's not lofi enough to be black metal
@@estebanstrangiato he simply said “this is not pure BM and it’s just great” wtf are you talking about?
@@estebanstrangiato shitlib got triggered
EDT was my first blackmetal experience... and damn, im still into this stuff today
Podrán pasar mil años y siempre me va a reventar la cabeza este discaso!! 🤘🏿 ☠️ 🤘🏿
Discovered some great black metal stuff from 1994 onward, but this one marked the decade for me. Hell I even didn't have the money to buy the album back then but every song stuck like gum. Tried to catch them all on cassette from the local metal radio show.
The best black metal album ever!
Man, this is for me the best Black Mteal album ever released. Just wonderful! Everything on this disc is 10.0 note: the cover, the production, the compositions, the whole atmosphere.
One of the best releases in the 90's. I hope it will be relaunched soon with bonus. \,,/ \,,/
haha, I just wrote the same above!! :)
You're entitled to your opinion however in my opinion Anthems to The Welkin at Dusk by Emperor is the best Black Metal album ever released.
