I'm 50 years old and grew up listening to Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Pantera and Metallica as my top bands. Was also into Dio, King Diamond, Dream Theater, Nightwish and Arch Enemy so I always enjoyed the melodic side of this music and I CANNOT believe I completely missed Dimmu Borgir. Just discovered these guys during Covid and was insta-hooked. THIS lineup especially blew me away.. words fail me to describe how GOOD and tight they really are. This is so technically hard to compose it's difficult to believe it was done under the influence (I heard they split because of that?). These arrangements are pure genius talent. The type of talent you don't just acquire, you are simply born gifted
Yeah.. this is awesome to heard.. from me a 20 years Dimmu Borgir fan. I think they split because of differences of creation. They are all amazing musicians. If you interest you must like ICS Vortex at Borknagar. Another great Norwegian band!
Considero está música una obra de arte. La complejidad de los acordes, el cambio de ritmo, las voces. Todo esto es lo que lo hace más interesante , sobre todo las voz de Vortex.
Oh dear oh dear oh dear... My goosebumps got goosebumps on their goosebumps from Vortex's voice... It would have been so so incredible to have both him and Mustis back on Forces of the Northern Night. Just imagine the vast awesomeness of having those two and the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra in the same room... But that's likely never going to happen... :'(
Can you imagine, I am from East Cairo, Egypt? and deeply affected by your no words can describe music Thank you for being in this wild world with wonderful voclas, Amazing keyboards, and guitars with deep wisdom lyrics, great work !! that gives me the spiritual energy and power and happens
Yeah he is fucking amazing on keyboard/synthesizer Sounds like your in some cold crystal cavern or something and yet you can feel the enlightenment just hit you like hearing him play makes you more intelligent.
The choir and orchestra sounds awful live in the shows now too. It surprisingly somehow takes away from the power of the songs and the choir singing just simply sounds wayyy shittier
Sem sombra de dúvidas, foi como o cara falou aí em um comentário, precisaram de um coro e uma orquestra pra substituir Vortex e Mustis. Melhor lineup do Dimmu Borgir, fato!!
The more I listen to the isolated tracks of this song, the more I realize that this was a really amazing live performance. Of course they are amazing in most aspects already, other live shows included. The playing here was spot on, technically advanced, and even the BPM sped up and key changed.....they were playing super tight here. Drums were especially on point
6:07, La voz de vortex tiene algo, no sé que, pero hay algo en esa voz que me ase sentir nostalgia, la verdad no sé cómo describirlo, te extraño vortex.
The best lineup Dimmu Borgir had - Shagrath/Silenoz/Galder/Mustis/Vortex/HellHammer. Vortex vocals eerily haunting - miss his presence in the band. He just doesnt have the same impact but in Borknagar, but still love his sound.
I agree this was a great line up, however, as much as I have much love and respect for HellHammer I have to say I liked the line up with Nick Barker more.
From my experience, you can get almost anyone to enjoy metal if they're able to look beyond the vocals and appreciate the value of the music. Then they slowly learn to appreciate the vocals as well.
The reason that Vortex’s singing is so soothing is that: 1. The way he sings is like he is telling a story 2. His soft chanting balances the rough lead vocal 3. And well… he has an amazing voice
Okay, it may not seem like it from my profile or the type of music I cover on my RUclips Page but I absolutely LOVE this song. My father introduced me to this song when I was around the age of 8-9 so, it’s been about 9 years. But I’d always ask for THIS SONG to be put on so I could head-bang and throw my metal horns up in the air. Now, I wouldn’t consider myself a massive fan of this group or even a metal fan as I’ve only ever listened to this specific song by them and loved them. I’ve tried to listen to other metal groups and things along those lines. But none of them got me to this feeling of pure joy like THIS SONG! I don’t know what it is about this but I absolutely love it and am so glad I’ll have this video to go back to and look at it with so much love and joy. ❤
My girlfriend has not became a metalhead since a long time. But she started to like listening to Dimmu since she heard Vortex vocal parts.. Incredible how this thing happened ! We both miss him forever...
are you fucking kidding me? how does this video not have the most views out of all their videos? its almost like it has taken the best aspects of all their songs and put them into one ultimate super song that by far surpasses any ability that any "musicians" have today.
People will still get back to Vortex in year 2020. Even a hundreed people choir can't replace him... He's got amazing voice, I've never heard anything similar in black metal.
Spiritual Black Dimensions. I believe that to date no album by Dimmu or any other band of symphonic BM managed to surpass its quality. It will never tire me. Magnificent in every aspect.
I've watched every single live version of this song on youtube and all of the top 2 comments were about Vortex's voice. That's the proof of awesomeness. Other than his voice, those chorus lyrics...Something alluring there. Enchanted, mind numbing words... Tempting everybody who likes this song.
It's impossible to describe what I feel when I listen Vortex singing, he's got the cleanest voice I've never heard. Vortex and Aaron (from My Dying Bride) are two gods. Sorry formy english, I'm french^^.
Dimmu Borgir, FUCK YEAH! Shit, this song has everything--Norwegian flags, "metal salute" index finger / pinky fist-pump, badass cookie monster vocals from Shagrath, awesome, I mean AWESOME clean vocals from Vortex, melodic keyboards from Mustis...etc. etc. I love the way Shagrath's distorted vocals "harmonize" (or contrast) with Vortex's clean vocals. Outstanding performance!
"In circles of dominance, emotional deeps unite. Fiction and transcendence woven together. In the essence of purtity lies wisdom. Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Vortex is the main reason I'm going to practice so much at bass when I get one as well =]. His playing is so enthusiastic, and his vocals are amazing. Hail dimmu.
It is not just because he plays keyboards, but because of his creativity and because he wrote a lot of DImmu's songs and helped in the others. Sill, I hope they make a good job in the next album
I've been playing piano for over 8 years, and this is song is one of the most complicated and difficult songs to play! It's barely possible to play the intro! Hail Mustis
![Dimmu Borgir - The Insight Ind The Catharsis [Wacken 2007] THE WOLF HUNTERZ Jon and Travis Reaction](/img/1.gif)
2018 and I'm sure every single Dimmu Borgir fan still miss Vortex and Mustis
and also on Nikolas Barker
And Nick Barker
can't forget Nick Barker
i miss them
I miss them too.
April 2024, came here listen to this after their small reunion
YESSS
They sounded just as good...........almost
a man of taste
Vortex singing Gives goosebumps ...
True
+Kevin de Bie Well said, I couldn't agree more
Can you recommend something of those greater things? I do have to recognize his work on Borknagar too.
Francisco Castillo
VORTEX SUCKS ON VOCALS

Sensacional

A great band I suggest for you is Children of Bodom if you haven't heard of them already, amazing band that had been around for a LongTime.
King Diamond rules
wow, nobody cares how old are you
"Oh dreadful angel of mine..."
I could listen to Vortex for forever.
Vortex "Oh dreadful angel of mine. . . " Beautiful part ^_^
Both Vortex and Mustis are awesome......I want the old Dimmu back!!!
WIth Astennu as lead guitar !!!!
Bary73 astennu was amazing in dimmu borgir
MUSTIS WAS GREAT . VORTEX SUCKED !
Except for Hellhammer (great drummer, but Barker is the best), this line-up was the greatest of the band. They could keep in this way.
@@RenanJackson and also on Nikolas Barker
September 2024 and Vortex's voice still sounds like a God.
Oh, Vortex's voice brings me joy.
Best part from 5:38 - 7:10... i fucking love Vortex's voice... \m/ Hail from Romania !
saluuut
Mulcumesk
6:48 gives me the hair chills. God Damn Vortex is a serious mastermind. That dude FUCKS SHIT UP! What an amazing human being. I miss the old Dimmu.
I.C.S Vortex , Mustis , We will miss!
I.C.S. VORTEX HAPPY THAT THEY KICKED YOU OUT OF DIMMU
Dimmu after Vortex and Mustis🤮
Yes they and Nick Barker
Considero está música una obra de arte.
La complejidad de los acordes, el cambio de ritmo, las voces. Todo esto es lo que lo hace más interesante , sobre todo las voz de Vortex.
This is probably one of the most memorable live performances of Dimmu Borgir with the old gang. I envy who was there... Will keep this forever 🤘
Oh dear oh dear oh dear... My goosebumps got goosebumps on their goosebumps from Vortex's voice...
It would have been so so incredible to have both him and Mustis back on Forces of the Northern Night.
Just imagine the vast awesomeness of having those two and the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra in the same room...
But that's likely never going to happen... :'(
Same!! His voice even sounded better live than on the album 🤘🖤
6:07 - 7:13
some of the best live clean vocals I've ever heard. vortex is beast.
5:38 best part of the song.. MASTERPIECE! just goosebumps!! \,,/
6:20
Can you imagine, I am from East Cairo, Egypt? and deeply affected by your no words can describe music Thank you for being in this wild world with wonderful voclas, Amazing keyboards, and guitars with deep wisdom lyrics, great work !! that gives me the spiritual energy and power and happens
Vortex is the main reason i started practicing bass guitar and clean vocal techniques.
And i just have to see Dimmu Borgir live again...
Me to man..
in 2020.....i still miss vortex and mustis.... Vortex is DIMMU BORGIR
Everybody in love with Vortex vocal parts but Mustis keyboards are even more relevant.
Yeah he is fucking amazing on keyboard/synthesizer
Sounds like your in some cold crystal cavern or something and yet you can feel the enlightenment just hit you like hearing him play makes you more intelligent.
Aw man, they go hand in hand
Every part of this song is perfect for me, not just Vortex and Mustis part. .\,,/
They needed a choir and an orchestra to replace Vortex and Mustis.
Cleatus Van Damne but still... The chorud and orchestra were not able to replace them.
The orchestra can never replace vortex..why can't they get over this differences and bring him back.
Y ni aún así lo logran ... Ni a Nick barker con ninguno de los que han puesto
The choir and orchestra sounds awful live in the shows now too. It surprisingly somehow takes away from the power of the songs and the choir singing just simply sounds wayyy shittier
Really
Wow this is one of the best live performances ive seen, gives me chills down the spine, ICS VORTEX IS AMAZING!!!!!!
A voz do Vortex é uma coisa sobrenatural... melhor fase do Dimmu.
Sem sombra de dúvidas, foi como o cara falou aí em um comentário, precisaram de um coro e uma orquestra pra substituir Vortex e Mustis. Melhor lineup do Dimmu Borgir, fato!!

Except for the fucking solo
6:07, La voz de vortex tiene algo, no sé que, pero hay algo en esa voz que me ase sentir nostalgia, la verdad no sé cómo describirlo, te extraño vortex.
This song and especially closing minute is magical.
2020 and still missing Vortex and Mustis!
2021 and still coming back
The best lineup Dimmu Borgir had - Shagrath/Silenoz/Galder/Mustis/Vortex/HellHammer. Vortex vocals eerily haunting - miss his presence in the band. He just doesnt have the same impact but in Borknagar, but still love his sound.
Shagrath sucks cocks.
Beyonce at least knows how to sing. rofl
I agree this was a great line up, however, as much as I have much love and respect for HellHammer I have to say I liked the line up with Nick Barker more.
Replace Galder with Astennu and the line up is perfect.
Listen Arcturus
I still get chills every time that Vortex sings
Dimmu has a unique universe, this song is the best one to materialize it!
Thanks to Vortex, i now imagine that all Vikings used to he great singers..
*be
2021 and i miss u Vortex
It 2018 and still listening to it, miss you Mustis.
Vortex voice is so fucking perfect! it seems like he's using some kind of playback but he's not! just blew my mind.
this guy can sing!
playback? You might be confusing that with the usual delay/echo/reverb effects that are pretty standers on vocals.
He's using delay.
"Teach me how to comprehend" the greatest five words ever. end of story
2024 and im still here ))
Fiction and transcendence woven together … 🇬🇪🙏❤️
From my experience, you can get almost anyone to enjoy metal if they're able to look beyond the vocals and appreciate the value of the music. Then they slowly learn to appreciate the vocals as well.
2019 and still missing vortex and mustis
2020 and it goes on and on
Greatest song ever🤟
The reason that Vortex’s singing is so soothing is that:
1. The way he sings is like he is telling a story
2. His soft chanting balances the rough lead vocal

Вортекс и Мустис незаменимы! Очень талантливые музыканты! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
RIP dimmu burger

The best song ever. Mustis + Vortex....Perfect
This video was the first time i saw Vortex and Mustis live. What an amazing experience.
2020 Pandemic times, just over here to listen to Vortex and Mustis one more time!
This is best song of all times of Dimmu Borgir, forever
By 2016, who comes back to listen to more Vortex?
2017
LMNTL I'm just really discovering these guys, I never really listened to metal I was always a rock fan. But every song is epic.
Svinjson same here
People will still get back to Vortex in year 2020. Even a hundreed people choir can't replace him... He's got amazing voice, I've never heard anything similar in black metal.
2018
Spiritual Black Dimensions. I believe that to date no album by Dimmu or any other band of symphonic BM managed to surpass its quality. It will never tire me. Magnificent in every aspect.
Any emperor album or witchcraft and soulblight of obtained enslavement are all better for sure but this is up there too
The clean vocals give me goosebumps, I wish I could explain why this is so amazing musically, but there's something very interesting going on here.
Dimmu Burgir - LOVE OF MY LIFE FULL STOP.
I've watched every single live version of this song on youtube and all of the top 2 comments were about Vortex's voice. That's the proof of awesomeness.
Other than his voice, those chorus lyrics...Something alluring there. Enchanted, mind numbing words... Tempting everybody who likes this song.
These clowns saves me a spliff every time !! We need jokers like this ( not to many of course )
vortex godlike 6:20 ...... and mustis looks like something out of a horror movie awesome
Ohh Vortexxx... What a mighty voice with the majestic stand of his in front of that crowd!!! Omg his voice heals my soul!!
2020 Vortex and Mustis are still missed...
😞
Still Listening Vortex's Voice. 2017
ICS Vortex's vocals on this song shall always remain immortal. Credit to Mustisas well. Great keyboardist.
In january 2018 im still listening to this😂😀love itt!!
It's impossible to describe what I feel when I listen Vortex singing, he's got the cleanest voice I've never heard. Vortex and Aaron (from My Dying Bride) are two gods.
Sorry formy english, I'm french^^.
This is their best song ever!!! Hails from Finland!!!
This is the only band i want to see live because they sound so perfect without a studio.
Dimmu Borgir, FUCK YEAH! Shit, this song has everything--Norwegian flags, "metal salute" index finger / pinky fist-pump, badass cookie monster vocals from Shagrath, awesome, I mean AWESOME clean vocals from Vortex, melodic keyboards from Mustis...etc. etc. I love the way Shagrath's distorted vocals "harmonize" (or contrast) with Vortex's clean vocals.

I can't describe how much I love Vortex voice! He is so amazing. Marco Hietala and he are my favorites clean male singers!
Vortex is truly an old testament angel.

HAIL Dimmu Borgir!
Knowledge is power and the power is mine!

Oh dreadful angel of mine.. Hermoso Vortex!
I agreee with you chrisote. It's amasing, when Vortex sings, I cry, il is automaitc.
3:32 At heaven's door
Vortex sounds supernatural
2021 still missing Vortex and Mustis
May 2022, still here to hear ICS
it will never gonna be the same ...
The best song in all his art form. Nice voice vortex.
EPIC, nothing less.
It is not just because he plays keyboards, but because of his creativity and because he wrote a lot of DImmu's songs and helped in the others. Sill, I hope they make a good job in the next album
I've been playing piano for over 8 years, and this is song is one of the most complicated and difficult songs to play! It's barely possible to play the intro!
Hail Mustis
Just started to listen to this band and Black Metal. Just love the intricate, fast paced music, especially Vortex and Mustis.
Their best song of Dimmu Borgir`s list of top songs!
5/5!
mine too..They both are best clean vocalists ever...
