DIMMU BORGIR "Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Metal Vocalist / Vocal Coach
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- Lets face it. Dimmu Borgir is amazing. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. I was blown away when I reacted to Gateways back in March, and this live version of Progenies of The Great Apocalypse is also absolutely amazing. I Love Shagrath's narrative style, and the way he switches from low impact vocal styles to piercing, powerful screams. And LETS TALK ABOUT ICS VORTEX, EH? Nothing wrong with his powerful, almost bardic belting over the beautiful movement of the song. Lets hang out while I react to Dimmo Borgir Progenices Of The Great Apocalypse!

i'd say that's accurate, Vortex leaving the band and Dimmu kind of going away for 10 years definitely shook as well as split the fanbase, i like their new stuff but i DO miss Vortex's angelic chords.
Vortex yes, but it was Mustis who had a way bigger influence. He wrote some amazing music.
Well you can still hear Vortex in Borknagar. He still sounds great.
@@War624 love his band. True North is fucking awesome.
I miss his voice but also his kinda chaotic energy on stage.
Even back then, i felt like Shaggrath was kinda lazy on stage, while the rest of the band was killing it... but maybe thats just bias against him because of all the rumors of why Mustis and Vortex left.
After years i accepted the fact that yet another band fell apart and i am just sticking to the good old shit, so i dont get salty in the comments or something.
@@War624 Whom I would even argue are the superior band. Colossus + The Genuine Pulse are probably two of my favorite metal tracks evur.
I discovered Dimmu Borgir when I was probably about 13 years old, using Napster. Being the nerdy, naive and innocent band geek that I was at that time, I was searching for a recording of "The Maelstrom" by Robert W. Smith, which is a popular piece of maybe level 1 or level 2 concert band music. Instead, I found "The Maelstrom" by Dimmu Borgir.
Now, I had ... NO idea ... what death metal was at that time. I was this sheltered kid who lived in a small town in the midwest, in the middle of the woods who had just gotten internet a few months ago for the first time ever. I mean, I was listening to whatever was on the radio and whatever played in band class. This was the late 90s.
I thought the name "Dimmu Borgir" was weird and intriguing to me. So I listened to it...... and holy crap. My mind was blasted open. It was definitely a "this world is much much bigger than you've previously known" kind of moment for me.
What a rabbit hole Napster was, within the context of that period of time.
That sounds like it was an awesome formative experience, thanks for sharing!
I LOVE Dimmu Borgir but it's always they're biggest commercial hits getting the attention even though they have beautiful masterpieces that get overlooked. "The Insight and the Catharsis" is a prime example. The haunting clean vocals from Vortex and the incredible atmosphere from Mustis on the keys and synths take you to another world 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Could not agree more 🤘🤘
Same with Epica :-/
Can someone recommend me some DB songs with most symphonic sound? Cheers!
@@cancelled_user Eradication Instincts Defined
@@thevoidalone Cheers mate!
And The Promised Future Aeons and Arcane Lifeforce Mysteria.
The Vortex isn't just 6'8", his frame is huge so his lungs are huge, so with good breath control he has sustain like a God or something.
I love how Shagrath replicated Abbath's vocals for the second verse, considering that Abbath contributed his vocals for two songs on "Death Cult Armageddon"
I got goosebumps when ICS Vortex started singing! Check out Arcturus if you want more of him :3
Don't forget Borknagar. Such an awesome band.
Yeah hes Borknagars vocalist again vintersorg left
Arcturus is mostly Garm early on though, up to and including the Sham Mirrors. Chaos Path is a doozy however.
@@icedvengence3845 Any specific songs I should start with as a Dimmu fan? :O
@OblivionFalls can't think of song titles just look up the albums he sung on. And his solo album
Yes Mark! Please do a whole video on "are metal vocals singing" educate us! I am curious to find out what you think on the subject
Dimmu Borgir is my favorite band of all times. Still sad that ICS Vortex quit but they are still great
My favourite band as well. I'm able to enjoy every album and EP they've ever released, even though they're style has changed many times. From the melancholic vibe of their first EP and first 2 albums, to Shagrath's demonic shrieks in Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, to Vortex's amazing clean vocals from Spiritual Black Dimensions to In Sorte Diaboli, to the insanely complex and tight drumming of Nick Barker on Puritanical and Death Cult, there's something for everyone. 🤘
Vortex voice is so powerful! You should react to a Borknagar song! I suggest Winter Thrice!
Or "Up North". He puts a lot of stank on some of those lyrics in a great way.
@@aplc0r as I truly love the album True North! I think winter Thrice is a much better song to react to. 5 vocalist can't be challenged ;)
@@kianraz4129 But Vortex only really sings one verse in it. Most of the clean vocals are carried by Garm. Not that he's not fantastic in his own right.
Studio version of Winter Thrice has 3 vocalists ❤
@@deed5811 Surely it has four? Lazare, Vortex, Garm, and Vintersorg?
I love this version with ICS Vortex!
Vortex is back making magic with Borknagar .
So we have two fabulous bands with great vocals . A win win.
And don't forget Arcturus! Not usually my jam, but The Sham Mirrors is a goddamn masterpiece!
@@thisisfyne the sham Mirrors is Garm, who also appears I'm borknagar by the way. The best showcase of vortex in Arcturus is Sideshow Symphonies
@@TheSepulphagist Omg you're right o_O My whole life was a lie. Geeeeeeeeez. Thanks for pointing it out haha
@@thisisfyne I thought it was Vortex on sham Mirrors for a long time! They're both amazing! We learn something new every day.
@@TheSepulphagist I guess so haha! I probably got this album back when things were still wildly mislabeled online and I never got the right info before you jumped in!
Uff, this surprised me. I can't wait for watch it.
Can u make a Borknagar (1996) reaction video some day? I'll apreciatte it
Kings of carnival creation, Gateways... oh, there's so much great live songs to discover! ♡
Also "Behind the Curtains of Night - Phantasmagoria" at Dynamo 1998 would be interesting to compare. 🤘🏼
The King Of A Carnival Creation has to be their best song in the whole discography. The vocals are insane on that one too. So magical.
Hellyeah this is a great one, Shagrath's vocals certainly have a very throaty action going on (btw nice brief throat singing dude, you're pretty good at it for the little bit you've said to have done), Vortex's cleans are almost effortless, so glad I saw this lineup several times back in the day.
We need more BM reaction and analysis vids! Want to see you do Attila w/ Mayhem (the "Watchers" music vid is so good), and so many more (Wiegedood, Mispyrming, Akhlys, Marduk, and on and on!).
This DVD changed my life back in 07ish. Still watch it to this day. Such a great performance.
Vortex is a beast. If you wanna dive more into his music, I recommend Arcturus which is one of my favorite bands of all time. Recommended to everyone who is into weird stuff.
Borknagar as well
The Chaos Path, yummy. That being said, early Arcturus is mostly Garm.
The arcturian sign is such a fuckin cool song
@@rupbhatt borknagar fuckin rules, true north was fuckin amazing imo and both Vortex and Lars sounded amazing on vocals
Bro in high-school this was my jam lol. Loved Dimmu, emperor, and immortal, with a little cradle/satyricon for good measure lol. At least as far as black metal is concerned.
Same as you dude.
Damn! Time flies!
ICS Vortex was very incredible. I miss this lineup a lot !!
So happy to see you break this down. I was crushed when vortex left, saw em live in 2001 with vortex, still one of the best concerts ive been too.
Cradle and now dimmu? Hell yeah
Kinda cool flashback to my childhood.
invigoratiooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon
Finally!!!! a reaction to the best live performance of Progenies
Hell yeah!
Progenies of the great BEEEEEEEEEEAAANS
The fun part is to know how call Vortex is when singing. He's a beast in many ways.
Always appreciate when someone uses the names/stage names of band members in reaction videos. It's not just "the guy at the mic", these people have names. Using those names means you either listen to a band so much, that you memorised their names or you respect them enough, that you make the effort to learn their names. Both very awesome things.
So glad to have found these Black Metal videos you published. There isn't a lot of "proper" education on these kinds of vocals. Your videos on the topic are gold worth.
If you haven’t gone down the Vortex wormhole I highly recommend you check out his stuff with Borknagar. Colossus is amazing!
I like your reactions. You really get into it, and still remain respectful and educating. Now THAT'S impressive!
Thanks!
Sweet!
Yo! Wonder how a Vtuber cover of Dimmu would sound haha
Stoked af from the vid title alone. Loved the Gateways vid
I've seen them live, they are amazing!!!
I would still love to see Mark cover Spiros Antoniou of Septicflesh. Also Cult Of Fire deserves to be on this channel as well.
I'll check those out!
@@KardavoxAcademy For Septicflesh I recommend Martyr and for Cult Of Fire you will love Moksha.
my favorite song with vortex in it was the insight and the catharsis. you can also find more vortex as the lead singer of the band Arcturus, the arcturian sign by them is really good or kinetic.
also on his throat singing sound, he does a very clear throat singing style in abrahadabra which was an intro song for an album
Hopefully the live version with full orchestra!
How'd I miss this vid I'm stoked!!
awesome rundown and a clearly great vocalist!
GOTTA DO BEYOND DEVIATION - 10,000. Holy shit those vocals are crazy
Yep
Mark definitely channeling his Sardaukar chant 😉🤘
As a Classical Music lover as well as Rock and Metal lover, this Band REALLY tick all the boxes for me. They're dramatic, thought provoking, brutal and have that Horror Movie Humour. Absolutely Fantastic! 😁👍🤘
For all tid and stormblast are my favorite dimmu albums...
Stormblast remake is the shit.
Dude, you should react to SLICE THE CAKE -Unending waltz.
I'm really curious about the technical point of view on that masterpiece.
I can assure you won't be dissapointed.
PLEASE, PLEASE DO IT
People thumbs up PLEASE!
Vortex is one of the greatest vocalists here
Vortex earned the right to wear his own bands shirt.
this and arch enem were my first ventures into metal as a middle schooler in the 2000s looooove it
Dimmu Borgir still tours.
For the record, the band says it like "Dee-moo Borg-ear" more or less.
I agree but maybe more of an hard I in Borgir. Actually the same pronounsietian as Dimmu which is said correct. Regards a Norwegian.
Ooooo I love dimmu borgir, ritualistic, gateways and serpentine offering are amazing, my favourite album is “puritanical euphoric, misanthropia” thanks for the reaction 🤗💕
i remember watching the music video of this one from my brother's CD collection in in 2010. then i became a fan
Yeah, this song is dope!
EPIC! more black metal reactions please! WATAIN, DISSECTION, & MAYHEM!
Try "Kings of the carnival creation" or "In death's embrace" live as well, Vortex is nothing but jaw dropping in those.
Yoo Mark. Have you ever heard "Attila Csihar"? He has been Mayhem's Vocalist for a long time now and has been in a lot of other projects. He has vocals that are absolutely outside the box. Maybe you want to listen to him.
I might not look like that, but Dimmu Borgir have been and continue to be my 1st love, when it comes to the so called Symphonic Black Metal. I fell in love with them back in 1998, when "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant" had been released - listened to it once, got hooked right away. I loved your explanations, I as an absolute no singer could understand the technique Shagrat seems to use quite good. With Progenies of The Great Apocalypse being one of my alltime favorite pieces by Dimmu Borgir, I am thankfull for both: your reaction and you making me listen to that very song unexpectedly today, which made me very happy ❤(yes, this kind of music can make one happy).
p.s. Dimmu Borgir are still working and touring together, saw them on their last tour in early 2019 I guess, here in Berlin/Germany with Amorphis as supporting act (whom you also should give a decent check in the future) The clean parts by Vortex are no longer played from record during the shows, which is somewhat sad, but the crowd usually steps in quite good... or, at least: loud ;)
"Enthrone... is fantastic. I remember i saw them in wacken back in either 99 or 00. After 2 or 3 albums, i lost track
@@Zenus_Thenus so we've been to the same Show. Must have been 99, if I remember correctly, but could have been 2000 too, after 16 years in wacken yeach year since 98 I also lost track somehow😜
@@SimoneJaegerFrauPanPan hahahaha awesone!! Still have the timetables somewhere. We were on acid so I dont renember much. Last groups was therion and an unknown group called amon amarth were the first one at 11.30. I want back nexo years abd similar situation haha. When i see all the groups that and remember a few , i dont think it was a good idea.. hahhhaahj thats why i quit.
I was lucky to catch Borgir in their prime!
i had the pleasure of attending this concert my sophmore year of hs. It was in san antonio, and if memory serves me correct, it was over 100 degrees that day and they played at around 5 pm (with all that leather, studs, and paint on). Absolutely killer set! Only got the opportunity to attend 3 ozzfests (03, 04, and 07) but this was the best lineup of the ones that i attended. Slipknot closed the second stage, and Dimmu, Slayer, Judas Priest (with the return of Rob Halford) and Black Sabbath killed the main stage.
surprised Mark hasnt yet reacted to any of will ramos's one take vocal playthroughs.. would be a good teaching video since it is live and mouth shapes/techniques can be seen..
Damn, I have always wanted to be called a painted corpse.
I see you
And please can you look at Johan hegg (Amon Amarth).
I suggest reacting to something from Gorod, like Goddess of Dirt.

Pft swallow the sun missing from this list. Top 7 top notch. You might like indistinct new album reign of silence. It's very similar to vildhjarta
@@aaron5222 … Will take a listen 🤘
I really dont care when bands wear their own shirts, fine by me.
I have listnend to a lot of Black Metal and i always heard the difference between Shagrath and others.
But i never knew what it was. I just heard it.
You are spot on and thanks for that insight 🤘
Mustis had made great touches in this live Performance , i really miss him !!
Kings of the Carnival Creation is another great example of Vortex's singing
If you do enjoy Dimmu and don't know of Old Man's Child I wholly recommend the album Vermin
Dude I haven't heard the name OMC in decades
I low key wish Galdur would focus on OMC over Dimmu since the Vortex era is over.
Highly recommend Winter Thrice from Borknagar. So many great vocalists at once.
fuck yes
Oh, I was hoping you would react to the newer live version with full symphonic orchestra and operatic choir.
2004. In ears weren't much of a thing back then. I saw this same tour live and can confirm they were going off of old school monitors.
Mark, if you do another Dimmu video at some point, you should check out their live performance of "The Serpentine Offering" from Wacken Open Air 2012. Vortex had already been fired from the band by then, but in regards to his part in the song, it was done by a choir, and they had an orchestra playing with them during the track.
That sounds dope, I'll check it out!
Это лучшие ребята из блэк металла,все их альбомы у меня в избранном💟🔥
Please react to: Dystopia - Through the Vortex, Live at Fort Kijkduin.
They are a black metal band from the Netherlands with a totally different approach to black metal. They have added some unusual instruments which do work great for their music and they definitely deserve more attention.
PLEASE do Pillhead by The Plot In You. Amazing band and amazingly deep music
You should do a video on whether or not they are singing. In my point view due to the sounds I find that I regard the word singing and I just call metal vocalists vocalists. I could be entirely wrong but when I think of singing I think of like Maynard James or Pop artists.
Check out Kings of the Carnival Creation from Dimmu, 2004 Ozzfest version is the best imo.
If you like narration style vocals, Seregor of Carach Angren would be right up your alley.
Seregor is fantastic.
Don't be so excited on the We who must deny vocalization area. After a certain year it just became a plug in they use as the filler for Mustis their Pianist and arranger. He stopped doing it live . The reason from what I gathered according to their departure Vortex and Mustis was a greed type music credential thing. Ones lawyer got involved and it was just a match of who's balls were bigger for the most part. I can go on and on but thanks for this specific video, I always try to get reactors to do this song since it has the PEAK of Dimmus artist all in one minus 1 of that being Nick Barker former Cradle of filth Drummer and now Brujeria drummer.
Progenies Of The Great algorithm
I’d watch a video on if screaming is singing. A good breakdown of what notes and frequencies are actually being created compared with the traditional notes of singing would be sick .
For the Canadian Idol thing (if that was the one you're thinking of) it Philippe Langellier. Great guy, singer of a charming little band called Bookakee. He has his father, an opera singer, do the strangest duet with him doing banshee screeches in the same bit.
Here's the clip:
ruclips.net/video/ZkMXV4zYiHM/видео.html
Every time I hear mongolian throat singing I think of this album.
Singing or acting, the answer is: It Does Not Matter :)
Mayhem and Darkthrone analysis/reaction... please 😄🤘🏻
Check out Kings of the karnival creation or the serpentine offering.
I've seen a few other people mention that you should react to an Orbit Culture song
I'd highly recommend "Strangler"!
Check out The insight and the Catatharsis by Dimmu Borgir. I'm sure it will impress you. Thank for ur video.
Have u done any reaction of other norwegian black metal bands? Or any other norwegian metal bands?
Love your channel, so educational.
Best regards from Norway
Only dimmu, check his videos
Please do Diamonds To Dust song Corpus Christi.
Saw them back in 2010 i think on the height of their game (imo) after the release of In Sorte Diaboli.
Great show, so much pyro that they sweat their corpsepaints off.
Sound was reaaally good, synths really blasting in the mix.
Still have that shirt somewhere and it might just still fit.
Don't know about the new stuff and frankly don't really care since my musical taste evolved over time.
Those songs from Puritanical, Death Cult and In Sorte Diaboli still rip when they play in my car stereo though.
Please do a video on cannibal corpse hammer smashed face live
I miss Vortexs voice so much. But I'm still a Dimmu fan. There's too many fickle fans out there.
Hey dude keep up the amazing work! If you ever have the time, take a look at LANDMVRKS- Lost in a wave. They've got a cool live set which I think would be interesting to check out!
It would be cool to have him breakdown his voice, super unique scream
If you like Dimmu Borgir you should react to Carach Angren.
I discovered carach angren just last year and really enjoy the funerary dirge of a violinest...
@@mgdrud4605 love that song. That was actually the first song I heard by them.
Holup, Invaluable live? was king doing the cleans on that one?
Nightwish should have hired Vortex to replace Marko. At least in that way they would have had a metal singer to sing Marko's parts. I know that Jukka Koskinen (Marko's replacement from Wintersun) also has pretty good vocals, but still they ended up to give more vocal parts to Troy, who is a decent singer, but has no rock or metal qualities in his voice...so maybe they just want to go more towards this symphonic folk metal now...which is very sad.
Death core? wait.. how do I cancel my like? Just joking, but seriously, keep up just the good work.
I don't mind the band shirt thing that's your symbol kind of like how ancient clans wear symbols that represent them on their armor or how mario wears a red M on his hat or if you work for a company your shirt with the logo represents that company it's such a dumb argument when people say you shouldn't wear your own band shirt.
i think it is totally fine for a band to wear their own shirts, who cares anyway.
architects pls
Lol Corey from Trivium almost always wears a Trivium shirt. I have no issue with it
Shagrath was a shithead when I met him...he didn't want to sign my 7"record. Silenoz was awesome we talked a while...vortex was cool. I did not get to meet mustis and Nichols.
Silenoz was the better vocalist, should have kept shagrath back on the drums.
He seems like a very insecure guy… there’s not much about him online though. I’m not sure.
It's not inaccurate to say that this was _nearly 20 years ago_
