Our Rating System:
We are both firm believers that it is unjust to review and rate an album after only hearing it one time therefore our method for reviews is much different than everyone else on RUclips.
First off, not only do you get two individual opinions for each and every album but we actually take the time to listen to each album many times over the course of a week in order to gather elaborate opinions on it. We typically post our First Impressions of the album after listening to it for the very first time and then a week later we post our final review with a score.
Our scoring method is unique to this channel as well. We each rate the album out of 10 but anything above a 7/10 simply just gets our Toe Tag. In order for an album to make it onto the list above it must receive Two Toe Tags. It if only gets one or none then it does not make our coveted list.
Any album that receives Two Toe Tags is considered a top quality album of elite status and highly recommended by both of us. We hope to add an array of metal genres and sub-genres to our list so be sure to Subscribe and turn on Notifications so you will always be in the loop with all the awesome metal we review!

![Dimmu Borgir - Interdimensional Summit [Reaction/Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-QxbsXJecXU/mqdefault.jpg)
I really like this song.
It's more of a power and symphonic influence, but I like the direction they took with this song.
I hope the rest of the album sounds like this.
I actually loved it. I was more excited that they finally put something out after 7 or so years that I didn't mind it not being as thunderous as it should be. I'm pretty excited for the new album also and the track listening looks like it will be really good
I liked old Dimmu Borgir, I like new Dimmu Borgir. Period.
Dimmu Borgir has been one of my favorite bands for more than 15 years now. I'm very impressed with this new album and sound.Very good music video.I love it.
It is all subjective: Some will want the old DB....and some will like the this new DB. We have to let the band experiment as artists and musicians. I like them all the old and the last few they have released. Best way to make a true metal judgment is to wait and listen to the this new release in its entirety....not once, but maybe give it a few spins. Each DB release is clearly different from other releases in some way or other, and some are better than others...but bottom line is: Listen to what you like and stick to it. If the new is not what you want, then don't listen to it.
I have similar. I do not hate this song, but I miss something. There is definitely a lot of symphonic parties. But as you said, it's a single for now. Cheers from Poland.
3:32 - 4:15 kicks ass. The rest of the song is growing on me the more I listen... but I do miss the brutality of the Puritanical years
Juzman I couldn't agree more with You
i love it! beautiful lyrics and music and very orchestral.nice work guys!
Well to be honest they changed their style but still it's better to change the style instead of doing the same thing for 50 years.. In that particular case I would say that it fit perectly! The refrain is catches me perfectly and the song itself has a lot of variation. Of course they dont sound as dark as before but I like this new symphonic stuff (they are still recognizable as Dimmu Borgir)... So I love it :D
For them as artists of course, do your thing, even if that means stripping down the extreme metal for pop metal. An artist needs to do what they feel is right. For me personally - eh quite the disappointment. So while I agree, it's still a bit of a bummer. Maybe the rest of the album will be quite different, which could definitely be the case.
Think everyone forgets this is the single track. The track that is supposed to get the big masses to purchase the record or look it up on Spotify. Single tracks are often the mellower more pop track of an album. Don't think the entire album will be like this. I wouldn't mind if it was though, I love this as much as I love For all Tid or any of their old records.
If you are a black metal band, you make black metal, you do not go to something more commercial, you do not have to change, you have to be FAITHFUL to what you are and NOT change.
The changes will ALWAYS be bad.
I agree, doesn't anyone remember about gateways compared to the rest of the album?
@@IIIITemplarioIIII I always wonder who is making those "rules". Sorry, but satanism is about NOT following any rules blindly - because that is what christians do. ;).Satanism is about the freedom to do what you want. And it seems Dimmu are doing exactely that.
I kinda like the sound of it. It's not a happy "pop" song, but it's more victorious. And it sounds pretty great.
This is just the single, the rest of the album might be different... but I'm kinda hoping it has the same feel to it to be honest
Of course it could be harder, it could be more thunderous, it could be more raw... But then they are just reusing what they have done before.
They are evolving and trying new things. And in my opinion, this is a good thing and it's exciting.
All in all, the album has been pre-ordered and I'm surely going to buy a ticket for their tour
You're in denial.
Tiago Jordão I am most certainly not in denial.
I can't wait for the new album. Everything they put out is fucken amazing
I love the song I was waiting for returned to this incredible band. 👌
I like this song so much! Mostly because of the visual aspects of the video, and the chorus!
To be honest I really like this song it’s not as good as older dimmu but it’s good I think the fact that they don’t stick to black metal puts people off but I liked it
Max Hawley15 same
P.S. Keep up the good work guys Love the channel.
I totally agree with you guys. I just hope that this was a 'single-like' single and that the long awaited album rocks, like Dimmu Borgir usually does
Dimmu has moved further and further from classic black metal, and that's okay. I really liked the song, especially the guitars. It's different, and that's good. All the old Dimmu songs will still be there, and the new and more different stuff comes, and it's fresh.
I actually love this song even though it's different and way more symphonic than before but I guess I like change sometimes. I'm sure we will get some "regular" dimmu songs on the album and I can't wait to hear it :)
I love it.
Me Too! The solos are sick makes me realy excited for the rest of the albums.
I liked the song, I have had it since January. I saw it on Itunes for like a day, so I got it and I've been listening to it ever since. First listen I really enjoyed it. Then each listen after that I discovered more and more to this song. My first Dimmu Album was Abrahadabra but I also own all their discography, including For All Tid & StormBlast (both original and 2005) and they're all very unique in sound and personality. So I'd say that Eonian will have a unique sound to it. I can't hate this song. I really, honestly enjoyed it.
Great review though It was really honest and I've subscribed to your channel :)
I fking love this song. I would put it up there with their old school stuff.
I love this song, especially the message.
Hey, new fan of your show. Yes, Galder is always grinning, etc. is these videos. Agreed, Geir Bratland's keyboards add a new element of synth. Yes, they have lacked thunder since Abrahadabra. Yes, this had all the bravado of a typical Patric Ullaeu-directed video, for sure. Great job guys, took a chance here, and it paid off.
Oh, so that was TVfish15? I was wondering about that the entire video :P Cool to see him back, doing some other cool stuff like this.
beardmachine I've been doing this for like 8 months now lmao. School has been taking up a lot of my time which is why I am inactive on my main channel atm.
Anyway, been a fan of yours for a while and it's cool to see you do other cool shit too.
beardmachine I appreciate the support!
loved it
Are u sick!! This is one of the best of wht i ever heard in my whole fucking life
think this song will be awesome, hearing it live at Midgardsblot this august !!! skål
Not a bad song but certainly a grower. I'm a sucker for symphonic music so that's not my issue. I'm sure the other tracks will be better and this one will grow on me.
THIS IS FUCKIN AWESOME !!!!! BEYOND AMPED FOR THE NEW ALBUM !!!!!😘🌹💋
Ps. I just subscribed. Metal horns from South Africa
Dimmu Borgir WAS the most enchanting black metal band, now they focus on bringing in a bigger audience. I miss the Apocalypse times and Stormblåst (my first dimmu album).
I think Dimmu Borgir wanted to put out their weakest song first just to save the meaty songs for the upcoming album. I hope i'm right because it would be great if there's a song or two in the vein of Born Treacherous from Abrahadabra.
Agreed! Love Born Treacherous!
No band would ever do that I'm afraid, would be terrible marketing as this single is supposed to make us wanna buy the album...
the song is epic and godly - Dimmu is always cutting edge
No era lo que esperaba pero estoy satisfecho :v me gusto la canción pero espero el resto del álbum sea un poco mas black metal lml saludos desde SV
You guys are pretty cool. To be honest I was disappointed when I heard it for the first time. But after listening more and more I start to like it.
I think this is what band felt like making at the time regardless of what we feel about it. I always feel like Metal fans want bands to record what they want to hear, i belive as an artist that you have to create what you want to hear and feel like creating, some will like it and others wont
The song reminds me the background tone of the song Reptile from the album spiritual black dimensions ..but despite this one is a bit weaker and lighter but still i like it very much and Dimmu Borgir is trying new type of music that's good even if it is risky sometimes to change but personally a group playing same stuffs over ages is a boring one ..so i will say hats off to Dimmu Borgir for their effort to always trying new things and Hats off to you both guys as usual your reaction videos are for me the best and coolest ..keep going am following you both always 😉
This song is a major triumph for Black Metal to crossover into the mainstream....its very catchy and powerful!!
I hear a strong Sisters Of Mercy influence....definitely a post-punk Goth presence here and an enchanting ethereal feel as well....this song is epic!!
experience tells me that listening to dimmu, or black metal in general, needs more than 1 hearing. as a huge dimmu fan myself, I heard this song on repeat 30-40 times the first day, and I`m starting to enjoy it. Anyway there are 3 things(at least) makes me proud to be norwegian. Dimmu Borgir, Sissel Kyrkjebø and the norwegian landscape:)
This is growing on me and I'm sure the album will slay
To be honest I have heard of the band but never gave them a chance. Not a huge death metal guy so I enjoyed this. I'm pretty hyped to hear what they got coming. Gonna have to go and check their back catalog and see why I hear the hate from others.
You will be sorprised about the difference.
Beautiful boys)))
I felt it lacked some speed. Zero blasts. But an epic inspired catchy song. Longtime Dimmu fan and I love it. I'm sure there will be plenty of speed in the other tracks. Cool riffs, catchy chorus melody, and Galder had fun showmanship in the video.
Blast beats are getting old. Seriously. If this song was filled with blasting people would bitch about that too.
theres not only 1 female voice singing the chorus but a choir with some male and some female voices, I put my sennheiser headphones on and could hear all the voices singing along. keyboard is playing strings along with the guitar notes
I actually really love this song. It’s a catchy tune and the more you listen, the more it grows on you. You can’t always have the pounding sound throughout, otherwise it all starts sounding the same and monotonous, Even Shagrath said that they want to constantly evolve, and not stay the same. Each album is very different.
ups, what´s happend??? I hope the rest of new album will be a true DB...
Fingers crossed!
Hey Fish I bought that same Baphomet necklace. They had one at Spencer and I had my eye on it for about a year. There's not alot of blasphemous fuckers where I live.🔥😈
\m/
I liked it. It did lack that pound that Dimmu Borgir has but is the first track in years so I’m excited for the album
Wow, these guys are ready to take over the Airwaves, baby...this song is very catchy and just fucking beautiful...its like they took everything great about them and wrapped it up in this song so they can bestow it onto the masses...could Black Metal finally reach the heightened success of Top 40 Radio?!?! I hear a strong Gothy Sisters Of Mercy influence especially on the chorus. EPIC TRACK by a band that is ready to outshine Cradle Of Filth and change the mainstream music stratosphere forever.
eh... sure.. lol
Put da speed in 1,5x , sooo pooowweeerrrr 🤘👀🎹🎶
Loving the song and the video classic Dimmu Borgir video i think i can see where you come from in reguards to this being a watered down dimmu borgir for me its just them doing things a bit different which for me sets them apart i like dimmu trying new things with each album i dont understand the hate this song gets nor previous album which i thought was great
The same thing happened with Cradle of Filth in the 2006 - 2011. A more melodic or comercial sound, not bad but different. If you listen to it several times you grab the taste for the same commercial format that brings. Anyway we have to wait to see more songs from the album to give a final opinion
You should read the post they sent out along with this music video, they explain that this song represents the more symphonic side of the album and that this is not the «new dimmu» sound. So you can probably calm down and stay hyped!
Honestly I think they are going for more of an Apocalyptic rhythm than a Black metal one. Still good tho. I've loved this band for many years but I always find 1 or 2 songs that throw me off. This would be 1 of them.
I didn't think I liked it at first, but like Abrahadabra, the more I listen, the more I can find things I like... And keep in mind, I've been listening since the original raw Stormblast. The clean vocals without Vortex always throw me off though
Very true. I find that they usually put in 2 or 3 great songs for the harder fan base, and some Like this one for the more mainstream fan base. Kind of giving a little bit for everyone type of vibe. Which is fine by me. I just wish they would throw down some songs like kings of the carnival creation or at least In sorte diabolis. It's been laking that raw strength as of Abrahadabra.
I kind of went on a rant about this, but honestly I feel that losing Vortex and Mustis goes a long way into the change in the sound. The orchestrations were far more ethereal, and there is just something about the choir singers in the background I can't get in to. The stars were just...right...for the Puritanical Misanthropic Euphoria album, and I don't think we're ever going to see anything like it again.. I get my fix from Borknagaar for now, honestly they remind me the most of older Dimmu..but still, if there's a track at least as heavy as The Forshadowing Furnace, The Ancestral Fever, or The Heretic Hammer, I'll be happy.
Just to add when you mentioned about a womans voice in the song its infact the choir they used for the forces of the northern night show they did in 2011
they definitely added a lot of layers to the song in different aspects i think they went back to a kind of In sorte diaboli album type of heavy chugging riffage with the guitars mixed with the symphonic chorus. i really enjoyed the guitar work thought it was very solid. maybe there will be more blast beat faster speed picking on the record.
Hail from Brasil \m/
Approach it as a symphonic metal song with black metal and its amazing
Will B Ya’ll need to listen to some Dimmu Borgir. Their genre is symphonic black metal so this is nothing new.
im new to the genre . I used to listen to a7x (go t me into metal and the stage really peakedm y intrest in black metal as ithad black metla riffs on 4 of the songs ).
I love nightwish which is probably why i like this song tbh
TwoToeTags Metal Reviews meh, yea dimmu was symphonic black metal, this single has nothing of black more like just symphonic metal, too much choir, even gateway was a more interesting single with some and pretty decent black. Rip dimmu borgir
For myself i like when bands try out new things and try to evolve instaid of staying the same way forever. It's refreshing. If people want the old sound of Dimmu Borgir then go listen to their old albums.
That's a good point... but you gotta admit, this song could definitely use some blast beats or some more double kick lol
TwoToeTags Metal Reviews This is one single from the new album. There has to be other tunes on it that suits your taste. :) I hope it will be a good album.
Being a devoted fan since Spiritual Black Dimensions back in '99 and how they have progressed over time, then making me wait for nearly an age for this?! I hope this is just a "radio friendly" single. Misantropia was the fucking benchmark as musicianship goes. Agree with you guys that maybe I put my expectations up too high. But who knows, I might stand corrected after hearing the album. \m/
I love the video & the song. The chorus certainly blind sided me but when I got the melody down & started listening to the layers of the song it really stood out to me as one of the stronger parts. I have a feeling this track will be placed in the middle of a bunch of heavy pounding BM for sonic relief as the album progresses track to track.
I don't understand why people are complaining about it... It sounds fire. It's catchy, ok, so what? Music evolves and Borgirs just evolve with it, y'all should just accept it finally.
Cause most of people (that I saw responses of) are like "yeah, this sucks, it doesn't sound like good old Dimmu Borgir from 90's". Well.... of course it doesn't... Cause it's goddamn 2018. They would get tired as shit playing the same things for decades. And by that I mean getting tired creatively. To me this doesn't sound pop at all, it just got the elements that are driving modern music in general, things like repetition and catchiness (which is very subjective anyway).
To all the "hardcore" fans: calm your fucking tits down and move on.
That's exactly what I thought after listening to it for the first time. It's not bad, but after 7 years they could make something much, much better.
Dimmu Borgir representing Norway the next Eurovision Festival in 3,2,1 ....
I realy like the song actualy, and i realy hope the whole album is as good.
My guess is they chose this song to expose first to attract a newer, younger fanbase as a reintroduction to the spotlight. I'm hoping the other songs on the album will be at least a little closer to the more recent Dimmu that we all know. I swear I remember seeing a short video Shagrath put out a few years ago of them working on the album in the studio, and the snippet that was exposed sounded very Dimmu-like.
you hate it or you love it. it's different from their past songs but you need to give it a chance. If you say "its not what I expected" then you already start with a wrong mentality, you EXPECT something so if it's different from what you expect then you get disappointed. after listening to it for a few times I really start loving it.
I think the album deserves a chance. I'm not a big Dimmu Borgir fan, so I'm not expecting a specific sound from them anyway, but I think this song was all right.
They have changed their style more or less on every album, so that can't be the problem to fans. The problem is elsewhere, so please don't blame fans who are disappointed.
That Galder face though.. He reminds me so much of Murderface sometimes...
robowarriorx xx looked like the joker in batman! :)
Lol yeah sometimes! Like, I appreciate the theatricality of Abbath and Immortal, and he's still repping that, but in HD it loses something lol
i think is a great song ! actually i think too, the set is the same like Progenies of the Great Apocalypse... what do you thing about ?
Progenies of the Great Apocalypse is way better!
i didnt really get into dimmu till like progenices so yeah i can see there path and also see why people only like there early days
I think it's more symphonic, but I love symphonic metal, so I'm happy with it. But I can totally see why people hate it
I am going to shut this tab down and put on some
KINGS OF THE CARNIVAL CREATION
k
An "OK" comeback, hoping in something more with the album!
In my opinion it is one of the best tracks they have produced. I have always loved their symphonic style and that they are sticking to it. Dimmu Borgir doesn´t have to be full old school black metal. They are a lot more than that in a way.
A like
The single is good, back when abrahadabra was released, they were saying how they wanted to try new things with there music, can’t blame them, I own all there albums and they are all great, it’s just something new and something that’ll keep them going in music instead of doing the same thing forever
Ahh the perils of being an early reviewer / commentor ! Does it suck that the more folks exposed to this, the more folks love it ?
Ronnie Patterson no it doesnt suck. I think most people would agree that the song itself is pretty good and enjoyable.. the issue is that thr band is straying further from their ideal style.
You seem to forget why these cats roze 2 the top of the so called " black metal " heap in the first place , is they werent afraid to break the mold yrs ago . I remember when they first appeared yrs ago , other bands making fun of the keyboards & shit, & now they washing dishes while these mother fuckers co-headline festivals ! I await the release of thier new album , to break the stereotypes again !
Ronnie Patterson Breaking molds works when you want to get established.. but when you’re already established breaking molds is risky because it can alienate part of their fanbase. We’re hyped either way. \m/
TwoToeTags Metal Reviews Agreed sir !
I agree, it has lightning but lacking thunder, but also I loved the song and I find it catchy as hell and the video is on a meat and potatoes level but very appealing to the eye. Still to this day Progenies is my favorite song, also really into the Dimmu Borgir track.
The first 1 min has a Manower ac/dc rithm, this is some serious motiv to react...
this fucking song coming from decades of experience in songwriting ! think about what they want to say and why they saying it like this ! maybe read the fucking lyrics ? be fuckng SURE ! this album will blew our fucking minds.
Big Boys of black pop
compare the intro from Therion - The Wings of the Hydra
LOL doesn't it sound... familiar?
The song is cool but I hope the next songs come with a better drums work!
I saw a video with a guy ranting and ranting about this song, while having old Dimmu stuff playing in the background. And all while ranting he got distracted by Vortex singing... THAT is what is missing. I know it's getting old now, but Dimmu totally lost their edge by kicking him.
Dude I'm not trashing on this new album I'm agreeing with the guy on the left, it's just a single, and yes it'll be on the record, but there's 9 more songs that could completely blow IDS (Interdimensional Summit) out of the water. I've been a fan of Dimmu for years, and yes this is new, this also marks their 25th anniversary, and a 7 year slumber. I'm staying optimistic just because there's other songs, and after they release the album they will also release a deluxe edition like they always do. So there could be a lot more we don't know about. They could also pull some hard-ass shit and release another album right after that... who knows, this is a new era of Dimmu and I've got their back on this
That chorus is Sisters of Mercy like a mutherfucker. Zero groovy parts but it is what it is. It’s pop black metal. I dig it
LOVE IT!! Dont want the same shit over and over
I thought the song was pretty solid follower to their previous album. Quite in line as far as the overall sound and song structure goes. Listened to this song quite a few times now and enjoy it more and more, and now I'm actually excited for the new album. Sure, it's not the "thunderous" Dimmu Borgir some might expect, but it's been a good decade and a half since Death Cult Armageddon was released. At least they're not making another In Sorte Diaboli.
I actually love it Im a open guy when is about music I dont care if they change style the important thing to me is that the music is enjoyable in my opinion the song is not the old DB but is an awesome song anyway in my opinion
nightwish+dimmu borgir= dimmu nightwishgir
The song was pretty much made a few years right after abracadabra.. from that mindset .. but I don't think the rest of the album's going to be like this. We shall see right
That's the thing is that wait time. Had they put this song out in 2013 or 14, it probably would have been expected and not so disliked. One thing that disappointed me is that Shagrath said that this new album would be primal and more heavier than Abracadabra and yet, this songs like part 2 of that album....
Enthrone to darkness is my favorite album by them. But hybrid stigmata is one of my favorite songs. Kings of the carnival creation is my favorite by far though
Seems like everyone expects them to make Enthrone darkness triumphant part 2. Its been done before...
You guys should check out Bloodred Hourglass if you haven't already. Their album Where The Oceans Burn is too good.
I dunno, I kind of jammed to it. It's not my favorite, but I'm willing to give it a shot.
At least they didn’t go full shit like In Flames or many others. This song is actually really good blackened symphonic metal and I’m totally buying this album. There will be heavier parts for sure btw.
I think that this song is pretty much middle of the road, not exactly good, but not exactly bad. As for my favorite songs from Dimmu, the og version of Alt lys er svunnet hen, Entrance, Chaos Without Prophecy and Arcane Lifeforce Mysteria. My favorite album is Spiritual Black Dimensions. I really like the over all speed and aggressiveness the band had.
