Dimmu Borgir... I see you are Grannies of culture! Dimmu Borgir is from Norway. The name means Dark Castle. The name comes from an Icelandic Lava formation that Icelandic Christians say is the place that Satan fell to earth. If you like the orcestral sound, check out the song "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse" or "Ritualist".
I agree they are fantastic. I'm not a huge Black Metal fan but I love these guys and Tryptikon is also a good band. Also, Rotting Christ has some good stuff as well. Also, check out Exhorder they are super heavy and way older than I originally realized.
Dimmu is from Norway (as I am) and the name is taken from an Icelandic volcanic area called Dimmuborgir. In Icelandic myth the place is home to the trolls, elves and... Santa. It means something like Dark (Dimmu) Castle (Borgir). Neither the choir, orchestra or the lady, Agnete, is permanent, they had a special orchestral tour 🥳✌️🤘
The guest signer is called Agnete Kjølsrud, she used to sing in a band called Animal Alpha, now she is the vocalist of Djerv. She has a great screaming voice as well as an operatic register.
I've never heard of these either , but i absolutely love you two grannies very much because I actually don't have my granny , keep on Rockin' my two beautiful grannies ❤️😘✌🏼🤘🏼
@@nanaking9560 yeah, their like my favorite symphonic black metal bands, though their the only symphonic band I have listened in depth, not counting Abigail Williams, though I love their shadow of thousands suns album is my favorite album and missed their symphonic style
Hi Granny's, The Name of the Band is called Demoo Bor Gear, They are from Norway & Some Other Well Known Songs include Progenies of the Great Apocalypse, The Sacrilegious Scorn, The Serpentine Offering & Mourning Palace
OMG! i loved you both young ladies ❤️! They are from Norway, Black Metal Genre! Awesome choice hear them, they're a great band, i'm a huge fan! Welcome to the World of Dimmu Borgir 😃🤘🤘✊
been following you for awhile and love your positive reactions to things " out of normal peoples comfort zone" )) Keep up the good work , Love from Denmark
Greetings Norway and thanks for watching. We’ve had very little experience with black metal before but we have to say these guys are amazing. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Love your channel. Seeing you reacting to, and liking, Dimmu Borgir is quite the treat. They were the band that ultimately "opened my eyes" and began my Metal journey. Dimmu will always have a special place in my heart.
Dimmu Borgir...the evil twin of Nightwish ;) This was a one-off show in Oslo, Norway with the original orchestra and choir they used on their latest album. They then did a second show with live orchestra and choir at Wacken but with a different orchestra and choir. Those are the only two shows they did with a live orchestra there. I was at the show in Oslo. This video was from the Oslo show btw.
Greetings Norway. As always, we thrilled to have you watching. Nightwish evil twin. I absolutely love that comparison. You were very fortunate to see this performance with the choir and orchestra. The whole show must have been amazing. Thanks for sharing and keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🖤🎶🤘🏻
The female vocals featured in this is Agnete Kjølsrud from the band Djerv. She also did the song "Get Jinxed" for the game League of Legends years ago. Great reaction, Grannies. 🤘
If you want to check out a videoclip of Dimmu Borgir I would like to suggest SERPENTINE OFFERING, it's a little bit older, but kind of cinematic. I listen to Dimmu for about 20 years now and never got bored. They style evolved from more or less classical Blackmetal to this Symphonic style. They are often called Sell Outs because of their success, tours and shows getting bigger and bigger, but I have seen them about 15 to 20 times and never get disappointed, always was great, and they are very nice guys Backstage either.
Thanks so much for all the info on this band. I had no idea they’ve been around so long. Calling them sell outs is asinine. Why shouldn’t they evolve and why shouldn’t they make money? This may be their passion and joy, but they got to eat too. Come on. Thanks babies and keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
@@nanaking9560 they started the band in 1993, first Album was released in 1996 called Stormblast, the actual album was released in 2018 called Eonian. Including Live-recordings and re-releases the brought out 16 Albums. They are definitely one of my favorite bands in this genre, maybe Cradle of Filth can be also something good to react on
Dimmu Borgir is named after a VULCANO LAVA FIELD in Island.....He pronounced the Group Name at the Start of the Video.....Welcome to the World of SYMPHONIC BLACK METAL !!!......next SATYRICON/MOTHER NORTH LIVE and SEPTIC FLESH Live in Mexico !
Dimmu Borgir is one of the biggest Norwegian Metal Acts (and evenamong European Bands). They play Symphonic Black Metal with real orchestrations. This concert was a special one with a national orchestra. If you liked this check out Progenies from the great Apocalypse
@@nanaking9560 if you liked this kind of epicness I also suggest Icelandic Band Skálmöld and their song Kvadning which they played live with an Orchestra, too.
"Dim-moo Bor-gear" Nana King, that's how you pronounce them, and glad to see you ladies checking out my fave track of theirs, though i prefer the studio/MV version because you get to hear them both clearer, but i know how music companies like to copyright claim videos before 2015. that being said even though this is my favorite, their previous stuff when Vortex was in the band is great, he had a magnificent almost angelic quality to his voice which was a great contrast to Shagrath's. recommend The Serpentine Offering or Progenies of the Great Apocalypse for some of their earlier goodies, rock on! EDIT: also they're Norwegian, they come from Norway, not sure about Agnete as she was more a guest for this concert.
Thanks so much for all of the great info babies. It’s amazing to hear the back story on some of these bands and you guys are awesome about keeping us informed. Keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
They are Norwegian and the name comes from a specific vulcanic area on Island. The orchestra only appears on some tours and/or concerts. The normal concerts are like Nightwish pre recorded symphony.
Norwegian,,,, the name are taken from a place in iceland dimmu borgir... cheers from norway... the female singer are not a member , just for this preformance..shes sings in a band called djerv
Dimmu Borgir " dimmuborgir " is a reference to a geological region of Iceland where the rocky craggy icy landscape creates incredibly deep crevasses making the region nearly impossible to traverse on foot. A question could be,....what are all the things that go on in the deepest crevasses of our minds? Why don't we talk about those things?
I'd love to see you react to Dimmu Borgir's song "Endings and Continuations" from the same amazing album - It's a true neck breaker with a lot of magic and beauty.
Hey Grannies. I don't think I saw y'all on here yesterday but yay for today. And i was wondering....am I the only one asking y'all to react to the rock and metal songs that I've suggested? If so then of course I understand and won't stop watching ever for any reason. They are just songs and bands that I truly love and just wanted to share them with you. Have a blessed Wed. Love y'all bunches.
Hi Janet. We get soooooooo many suggestions and requests it is very hard to do them all. If you’d like to submit them again, feel free. Yours are every bit as important to us as anybody’s. We appreciate you always watching and giving your support. Keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
@@nanaking9560 I might submit them again later. Not feeling well right know. Would you consider friending me on Facebook? Then maybe we can talk on messenger sometimes. And don't worry, I'm not a bothersome kind of person. Just another Granny.
Tell your wife thanks but we are so limited on space we couldn’t do it. You would be amazed if you could see our whole set. It’s really on the tight side. You guys keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🖤🤘🏻🎶
Dimmu Borgir is a Norwegian symphonic black metal band. Many of their songs are in English but they also have Norwegian songs. About as viking as it can be 🤘
We thought they were pretty awesome. Pretty sure that was the first symphonic black metal we’ve done but don’t quote me. We’re still learning all of the sub genres I guess you would say. Thanks babies and keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Finally!! Been waiting a long time for this reaction and as usual, did not disappoint! Knew you'd like them. Check out Mourning Palace or The Serpentine Offering
As people said they are Norwegian. Created in 1993 in Oslo. A bit after the Trve Black metal schene we know of infamously. I think it's like 10 years after Mayhem? Idk. I don't care about Mayhem. Dimmu Borgir had gone through a lot of changes over the years but at the start of their career, you could tell they were talented. For all tid is still one of my favorite songs of theirs on sheer atmosphere alone. Some say their best years are behind them and hate the ever-growing symphonic sound, but eh, to each their own - I am a Borgir simp since 2008, and they've hardly ever disappointed me. They have ten full lenght albums of mostly kickass work and weird-ass 3-word titles, such as Death Cult Armageddon, Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia. Enthroned Darkness Triumphant and so on. Only 3 albums don't fit that title style. two of which are the latest. Actually, should I count Stormblast 2? Let's not for this. I still wonder if that was intentional... Their music is often described as symphonic black metal with themes of anti-religion, satanism, society and the occasional cover. Peerfect Straaaangeeers Songs I suggest: The insight and the catharsis. - this is how the cosmos sounds like!!! The lyrics are great the last part with Vortex is killer! Also, the middle where Shagrath "speaks" and where they both sing together at an earlier part. The music is incredible. Just... If you never hear this song you've missed out. Kings of the Carnival Creation - Some of my favorite lyrics in metal belong to this song. A great description of humanity in general, really. Also a powerful wall of sound! I love the shit out of it! Puritania. - This is just a simple fast Hype AF track to headbang to and is probably my favorite song of all time - for personal reasons. BUT! The version from Alive in Torment! Fewer effects. Ugh, this barely covers some of their greatest songs.... and Puritania haha. Seriously - hear those guys. Borgir had gone through a bunch of lineup changes with only two of the OG members remaining. Their two worst instances of such changes were their Keyboardist Stian Aarstad plagiarising a song from a game and putting in their second album, resulting in him being yeeted from the band faster than you can say copyright strike. And the other is the kicking out of Bassist and clean vocalist Vortex (Simen Hestnæs) yes I did google that. And Keyboardist Mustis (Øyvind Johan Mustaparta) I definitely googled that! Which I can best describe like this: Take a beauty Guru drama and replace Jeffrey Star and Tati with longhaired dudes in their mid 30's who used posts instead of videos. A lot of dirty laundry went out in the open, Mustis intended to sue them over music credit, Vortex was talking shit, which prompted the members (obviously Silenoz) to write a bigass post talking shit back publically and profusely - the equivalent of a 40-minute callout video, where he (they) talked in detail about problems he (they) had, and I wish someone fucking took his (Theirs) keyboard away at the time, cause I could read him digging his grave. Because of that, this will haunt Borgir forever. For EVER. Legit you can still see (10 years later) people wanting those two members back or whining how it was better with them in the band. You can read all about it on the internet - It is kinda funny ngl. Later the remaining members wrote the song Dimmu Borgir, which is very sophisticated from of a Diss track. I live for the sass and drama, man! If you wanna hear Vortex - check out Arcturus and Borknagar. You won't regret it. I have no idea what Mustis is up to, or if he actually had claim over the songs. Another fun Dimmu Borgir Trivia is them being sampled by a german rapper. I think it was Spellbound by the devil. The orchestra and the lady are not a part of the band and this was a special event for a DVD. I am pretty sure they don't write their own symphonies, but I don't care - not everyone can be Septicflesh. The lineup currently is with the 3 remaining members: The singer, Shagrath (Stian Thorsen) who is known (allegedly) to b a very shy person, even if it doesn't show here. The name Shagrath is from Lord of the Rings. He is currently 44 years old. He can play a shit tone of instruments - I might be wrong but I think he started with drums - and writes music. I think his dad is a musician. He has a heavy metal side project - Chrome Division where he plays guitar, but he only does back vocals for it, cause I don't think he likes his clean ones. maybe I misremember. You can also hear him sing clean in some of Borgir's songs once in a blue moon. but the havenly clean vocal you would usually hear is Vortex. Also, I think his eyes are dark gray/black, which is just cool! Guitar is Silenoz (Sven Atle Kopperud) Who is, known to be a bit of an ass, but honestly, I think because he has that "Sick of your bullshit" attitude sometimes - and it's often merited. I mentioned the post. Another example is this MTV reality show - something, something, ozzfest, where he wnt off on the radio host. Even if it was clearly scripted to get a reaction. He is also 44. The stage name comes from Greek mythology. He wrote the lyrics of a lot of their later songs and a whole lot of the music. I think he is THE songwriter, but don't quote me on that. He is usually the one giving the most interviews. he sang/screamed the vocals in their first album. He used to have a very cool beard! and long hair :D And get that - He was working in a kindergarten. Lead guitar - Galder. (Tom Rune Andersen) Not much is known for this guy, honestly... By me at least. Can you guess his age? Yes! 44! In my Dimmu Borgir Hype days, I couldn't find many interviews of his or much about him. But I found his other band - Old man's child and they are glorious! He isn't a founding member of Borgir, but of Old man's child. he did joining the 2000's. He plays a lot of instruments. Of which I am sure about piano, and I think he is left-handed. I've read something like that in the past. Oh, and he did rock a Truck driver mustache that shouldn't work, but he made it work. I guess you didn't ask for a whole-ass Wikipedia page on the band, but here we are. :D I wrote it, I'm posting it.
Wow, thank you so much for that extensive info on this amazing band. We truly appreciate you going to all that trouble. They’re a fascinating group with an equally fascinating story. Thanks again babies and keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Dimmu Borgir is an amazing band. I would totally love if you could react to something from Mister Misery or/and Lordi. Totally love you two. Keep on rocking 🤘✌
Not French, Norwegian and the name comes from Iceland, specifically from a certain geographical area. The orchestra is a Oslo symphonic orchestra and this was televised in the Norwegian tax paid TV channel as an event. The woman singer is featuring on this specific song and at least when this came out she was the lead singer of the band called "Animal Alpha". Also fun fact; They all have their stage names and the singer "Shagrath" took his name from Lord of the Rings where one of the Uruk-Hai leaders was named the same way.
Thanks so much for your info on this band. The more you guys tell us, the more we enjoy the band. When we say we’ve never seen it before we mean it. Lol. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
I would love to see a reaction from my favorite grans to Maximum the Hormone, Versailles, or Dir En Grey. All 3 are/were Japanese but with their own awesome variety of sounds!
We haven’t done the other two bands, but we actually have done one by Maximum the Hormone and it’s on our channel right now. It’s called Yoshu Fukushu. Check it out and keep on rocking back. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
@@nanaking9560 Will definitely watch! A recommendation for the 2 bands would be Versailles' Destiny ~the lovers~ or Phillia. With Dir en Grey they have controversial MV history just anything but Obscure because it's over reacted. Their Songs Lotus, Uroko, or Vinushka(live or censored) are far better. Love yah Nana King!
This blew me away. That foreboding, end of the world feeling coming across was very similar to that I get from Pink Floyd's "The Trial" from the Wall album. Oh, that music, with orchestral input is in a league of it's own as regards power. Search deep within yourself, and really imagine the power and awe, from being in the same room as almighty God. Well, that's the feeling that stot chills up my spine. Oh, I liked it too.
Wow Graham……that was very well said. This band is phenomenal. We’re so glad you enjoyed it too. I hope we can do more by them very soon. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Seeing as you guys enjoyed this so much, you have to react to Septicflesh. Especially the track The Vampire From Nazareth in which they also performed live with a full orchestra. Although, in my honest opinion, Septicflesh do symphonic black/death metal better than most extreme symphonic bands out there.
Greetings from Norway grannies, been with you from the start so real amazing to see dimmu on here! You should react to their song "mourning palace" from wacken with a choir and another orchestra. You'll see the orchestra get converted to metalheads during the song! ;) It's really like a composition, amazing piece of music. Keep rocking!
Greetings Norway. It’s awesome to have you watching. Thanks for your suggestions. This is such an amazing band and I’m sure we’ll be doing more. Thanks for being one of our babies from the beginning and keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Finally Grannies!! Been waiting for you two to watch this band on Gateway live. They are "Symphonic Black Metal" fyi ladies so like rated R and Nightwish is PG13 😅😅 Explore more because its not over yet;)
I like how you compare them to Nightwish and if you like these guys you would also like the band Therion, especially their older music Like the album Theli. They are Swedish and are the innovators of symphonic heavy metal :)
As a french, I can assure you this do not look like french :p They aare from Norway ;) If you want some french metal with french vocals : - Seth - Néfastes - Benighted (only a few songs like Necrobreed, Carnivore Sublime ...) they also sings in english and german.
I've watched several of your videos and I'm glad I found you. This is one of my favorite songs, I'm very glad you like it too. I would like to suggest/request that you check out the band "Gloryhammer". They're not at all like Dimmu Borgir, more of a power metal sound with a Dungeons and Dragons theme, but I'd love to see your reactions to the videos for either their self-titled song "Gloryhammer" or "Hootsforce". Keep on rockin' grannies! \m/
Love the reaction! Check out “Vredesbryd” “The Chosen Legacy” “Kings of Carnival Creations” “Spellbound by the Devil” or “Sorgens Krammer (original)” they are my favorite songs from Dimmu! ✊🏽
Hi there to the most awesome grannies on earth!!! I got two Songs you have to try. Harakiri for the sky- the graves we‘ve dug; Enter shikari- destabilise. 🎵❤️🤟❤️🎵
Next the second of the big extreme metal / orchestra concerts. Septicflesh Infurnus Symphonicus MMXIX. And hard to pick one, but Anubis, vampire from Nazereth are decent options.
Now you need to check out more Black Metal and its variations, I personally can not recommend something like 'Mgła - Exercises in Futility V' enough. It's a polish band and just for you it's pronounced 'M-gwah'.
The Grannies liking Dimmu Borgir is the greatest thing I'll hear all day!
Thanks Lawrence and keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
fact!!
This made my month! They're not for everyone, but I love that they really have it a chance.
I got one of their Albums. It’s a Black Box Edition. Getaways is on it. what was the Name of the Album? Help me out please

Progenies of the Great Apocalypse and Puritania is their best songs in my opinion.
And Chess from the abyss
"The Sacrilegious Scorn" , "Kings of The Carnival Creation" and "The Serpentine Offering" is another great songs
@@nanaking9560 Check out them singing in Norwegian "Sorgens kammer del 2"

Thanks for your comments. It’s all very interesting info. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Norwegian,,,, the name are taken from a place in iceland dimmu borgir... cheers from norway... the female singer are not a member , just for this preformance..shes sings in a band called djerv
Dimmu Borgir " dimmuborgir " is a reference to a geological region of Iceland where the rocky craggy icy landscape creates incredibly deep crevasses making the region nearly impossible to traverse on foot. A question could be,....what are all the things that go on in the deepest crevasses of our minds? Why don't we talk about those things?
That was a very interesting analysis. Thanks for sharing and keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
This is... Symphonic black metal !!!!. There's black metal and there's Symphonic black metal 🤟🤟
I'd love to see you react to Dimmu Borgir's song "Endings and Continuations" from the same amazing album - It's a true neck breaker with a lot of magic and beauty.
Thanks so much for your suggestion and keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Nice reaction. They are from Norway. They're a sinfonic black metal band.
Thanks babies for the info and keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Mourning Palace. In my opinion that is one of, if not their best song. Gateways is amazing, but Mourning Palace is just out of this world.
Going to check it out. Thanks babies and keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
At last!
Took awhile and we apologize for that but it was worth to wait. This band is amazing. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
They are from Norway they are awesome
Yes they are Rhonda. Rock on. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Hell yes! Hope you discover more black metal as well :)
If it’s anything as good as this, I hope we do too. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Dimmu borgir is a castle in Greenland I believe. But the band i think is from Norway
That’s very interesting. Thanks babies and keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Dark Greetings From Norway Grannies !
Greetings Norway. We are so excited to have you watching. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Las amo
Soo happy you finally did this! Glad you like them as well, definitely worth checking out Mourning Palace (Forces of the Northern Lights)
We’re glad we finally got to them too. They’re phenomenal. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Seeing how you both enjoyed this track you should check out their song progenies of the great apocalypse
Thanks for your suggestion Jesse. We appreciate it so much. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Hey Grannies. I don't think I saw y'all on here yesterday but yay for today. And i was wondering....am I the only one asking y'all to react to the rock and metal songs that I've suggested? If so then of course I understand and won't stop watching ever for any reason. They are just songs and bands that I truly love and just wanted to share them with you. Have a blessed Wed. Love y'all bunches.
Hi Janet. We get soooooooo many suggestions and requests it is very hard to do them all. If you’d like to submit them again, feel free. Yours are every bit as important to us as anybody’s. We appreciate you always watching and giving your support. Keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
@@nanaking9560 I might submit them again later. Not feeling well right know. Would you consider friending me on Facebook? Then maybe we can talk on messenger sometimes. And don't worry, I'm not a bothersome kind of person. Just another Granny.
My wife suggests getting some rocking chairs, for some clever juxtaposition :D
Tell your wife thanks but we are so limited on space we couldn’t do it. You would be amazed if you could see our whole set. It’s really on the tight side. You guys keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🖤🤘🏻🎶
Dimmu Borgir is a Norwegian symphonic black metal band. Many of their songs are in English but they also have Norwegian songs. About as viking as it can be 🤘
We thought they were pretty awesome. Pretty sure that was the first symphonic black metal we’ve done but don’t quote me. We’re still learning all of the sub genres I guess you would say. Thanks babies and keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Вы шикарны, долгих лет жизни!)
Finally!! Been waiting a long time for this reaction and as usual, did not disappoint! Knew you'd like them. Check out Mourning Palace or The Serpentine Offering
Sorry it took so long, and yes you were right. We think band is awesome. Thanks for the suggestion and keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Love this band I'm glad you played them
So are we. Keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
As people said they are Norwegian. Created in 1993 in Oslo. A bit after the Trve Black metal schene we know of infamously. I think it's like 10 years after Mayhem? Idk. I don't care about Mayhem.
Dimmu Borgir had gone through a lot of changes over the years but at the start of their career, you could tell they were talented.
For all tid is still one of my favorite songs of theirs on sheer atmosphere alone. Some say their best years are behind them and hate the ever-growing symphonic sound, but eh, to each their own - I am a Borgir simp since 2008, and they've hardly ever disappointed me.
They have ten full lenght albums of mostly kickass work and weird-ass 3-word titles, such as Death Cult Armageddon, Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia. Enthroned Darkness Triumphant and so on. Only 3 albums don't fit that title style. two of which are the latest. Actually, should I count Stormblast 2? Let's not for this.
I still wonder if that was intentional...
Their music is often described as symphonic black metal with themes of anti-religion, satanism, society and the occasional cover. Peerfect Straaaangeeers
Songs I suggest:
The insight and the catharsis. - this is how the cosmos sounds like!!! The lyrics are great the last part with Vortex is killer! Also, the middle where Shagrath "speaks" and where they both sing together at an earlier part. The music is incredible. Just... If you never hear this song you've missed out.
Kings of the Carnival Creation - Some of my favorite lyrics in metal belong to this song. A great description of humanity in general, really. Also a powerful wall of sound! I love the shit out of it!
Puritania. - This is just a simple fast Hype AF track to headbang to and is probably my favorite song of all time - for personal reasons. BUT! The version from Alive in Torment! Fewer effects.
Ugh, this barely covers some of their greatest songs.... and Puritania haha.
Seriously - hear those guys.
Borgir had gone through a bunch of lineup changes with only two of the OG members remaining. Their two worst instances of such changes were their Keyboardist Stian Aarstad plagiarising a song from a game and putting in their second album, resulting in him being yeeted from the band faster than you can say copyright strike.
And the other is the kicking out of Bassist and clean vocalist Vortex (Simen Hestnæs) yes I did google that. And Keyboardist Mustis (Øyvind Johan Mustaparta) I definitely googled that! Which I can best describe like this:
Take a beauty Guru drama and replace Jeffrey Star and Tati with longhaired dudes in their mid 30's who used posts instead of videos.
A lot of dirty laundry went out in the open, Mustis intended to sue them over music credit, Vortex was talking shit, which prompted the members (obviously Silenoz) to write a bigass post talking shit back publically and profusely - the equivalent of a 40-minute callout video, where he (they) talked in detail about problems he (they) had, and I wish someone fucking took his (Theirs) keyboard away at the time, cause I could read him digging his grave.
Because of that, this will haunt Borgir forever. For EVER.
Legit you can still see (10 years later) people wanting those two members back or whining how it was better with them in the band. You can read all about it on the internet - It is kinda funny ngl.
Later the remaining members wrote the song Dimmu Borgir, which is very sophisticated from of a Diss track.
I live for the sass and drama, man!
If you wanna hear Vortex - check out Arcturus and Borknagar. You won't regret it.
I have no idea what Mustis is up to, or if he actually had claim over the songs.
Another fun Dimmu Borgir Trivia is them being sampled by a german rapper. I think it was Spellbound by the devil.
The orchestra and the lady are not a part of the band and this was a special event for a DVD.
I am pretty sure they don't write their own symphonies, but I don't care - not everyone can be Septicflesh.
The lineup currently is with the 3 remaining members:
The singer, Shagrath (Stian Thorsen) who is known (allegedly) to b a very shy person, even if it doesn't show here. The name Shagrath is from Lord of the Rings. He is currently 44 years old. He can play a shit tone of instruments - I might be wrong but I think he started with drums - and writes music. I think his dad is a musician. He has a heavy metal side project - Chrome Division where he plays guitar, but he only does back vocals for it, cause I don't think he likes his clean ones. maybe I misremember. You can also hear him sing clean in some of Borgir's songs once in a blue moon. but the havenly clean vocal you would usually hear is Vortex. Also, I think his eyes are dark gray/black, which is just cool!
Guitar is Silenoz (Sven Atle Kopperud) Who is, known to be a bit of an ass, but honestly, I think because he has that "Sick of your bullshit" attitude sometimes - and it's often merited. I mentioned the post. Another example is this MTV reality show - something, something, ozzfest, where he wnt off on the radio host. Even if it was clearly scripted to get a reaction.
He is also 44. The stage name comes from Greek mythology. He wrote the lyrics of a lot of their later songs and a whole lot of the music. I think he is THE songwriter, but don't quote me on that. He is usually the one giving the most interviews. he sang/screamed the vocals in their first album. He used to have a very cool beard! and long hair :D And get that - He was working in a kindergarten.
Lead guitar - Galder. (Tom Rune Andersen) Not much is known for this guy, honestly... By me at least. Can you guess his age? Yes! 44! In my Dimmu Borgir Hype days, I couldn't find many interviews of his or much about him. But I found his other band - Old man's child and they are glorious! He isn't a founding member of Borgir, but of Old man's child. he did joining the 2000's. He plays a lot of instruments. Of which I am sure about piano, and I think he is left-handed. I've read something like that in the past. Oh, and he did rock a Truck driver mustache that shouldn't work, but he made it work.
I guess you didn't ask for a whole-ass Wikipedia page on the band, but here we are. :D I wrote it, I'm posting it.
Wow, thank you so much for that extensive info on this amazing band. We truly appreciate you going to all that trouble. They’re a fascinating group with an equally fascinating story. Thanks again babies and keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
@@nanaking9560 Awww You're welcome
They are from Norway and they are a Black Metal Band
Thank you babies and keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
How do those guys sound better live than on record?
We love Dimmu, and we love your ladies reactions! Please consider reacting to us :)
Dimmu Borgir is an amazing band. I would totally love if you could react to something from Mister Misery or/and Lordi. Totally love you two. Keep on rocking 🤘✌
We love you too babies. Thanks for your suggestions and keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Hard to believe the first time I saw them live was 2007 seems so long ago...
I was surprised at how long they’ve actually been around. They’re a really great band. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Symphonic black metal from Norwey!
✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤🖤🖤
I hope to see more of dimmu borgir I really want to see em live
i have to like and subscribe it´s Dimmu Borgir 🤘👴🤘🥰
Norway and name means Dark Castle
No, it means dark castle.
@@JJecht666 my mistake. Thanks
Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Check out The Serpentine Offering by Dimmu Borgir as well :)
Love you Grannies!
Thanks for your suggestion and we definitely love you too babies. Keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
The Grannies were a amazing! I fucking love Dimmu Borgir band! Keep them up! 🤘
Not French, Norwegian and the name comes from Iceland, specifically from a certain geographical area.
The orchestra is a Oslo symphonic orchestra and this was televised in the Norwegian tax paid TV channel as an event.
The woman singer is featuring on this specific song and at least when this came out she was the lead singer of the band called "Animal Alpha".
Also fun fact; They all have their stage names and the singer "Shagrath" took his name from Lord of the Rings where one of the Uruk-Hai leaders was named the same way.
Thanks so much for your info on this band. The more you guys tell us, the more we enjoy the band. When we say we’ve never seen it before we mean it. Lol. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
@@nanaking9560 No problems, glad to be helpful 😎 Keep on rocking! 🤘
The other videos are great to
Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
I would love to see a reaction from my favorite grans to Maximum the Hormone, Versailles, or Dir En Grey. All 3 are/were Japanese but with their own awesome variety of sounds!
We haven’t done the other two bands, but we actually have done one by Maximum the Hormone and it’s on our channel right now. It’s called Yoshu Fukushu. Check it out and keep on rocking back. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
@@nanaking9560 Will definitely watch! A recommendation for the 2 bands would be Versailles' Destiny ~the lovers~ or Phillia. With Dir en Grey they have controversial MV history just anything but Obscure because it's over reacted. Their Songs Lotus, Uroko, or Vinushka(live or censored) are far better. Love yah Nana King!
Love Dir en Grey. Good call
They are singing English lyrics. I know it can sound like French at times, but it is definitely English.
Thanks for setting us straight on that one Doug. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
This blew me away. That foreboding, end of the world feeling coming across was very similar to that I get from Pink Floyd's "The Trial" from the Wall album. Oh, that music, with orchestral input is in a league of it's own as regards power.
Search deep within yourself, and really imagine the power and awe, from being in the same room as almighty God. Well, that's the feeling that stot chills up my spine. Oh, I liked it too.
Wow Graham……that was very well said. This band is phenomenal. We’re so glad you enjoyed it too. I hope we can do more by them very soon. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Seeing as you guys enjoyed this so much, you have to react to Septicflesh. Especially the track The Vampire From Nazareth in which they also performed live with a full orchestra. Although, in my honest opinion, Septicflesh do symphonic black/death metal better than most extreme symphonic bands out there.
Thanks for the info on another band that’s new to us. We truly appreciate your suggestion. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
@@nanaking9560 You are most welcome. I hope you will enjoy it :)
please do more Dimmu Borgir but also old stuff before ICS VORTEX left the band
We’ll see what we can do. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Greetings from Norway grannies, been with you from the start so real amazing to see dimmu on here! You should react to their song "mourning palace" from wacken with a choir and another orchestra. You'll see the orchestra get converted to metalheads during the song! ;)
It's really like a composition, amazing piece of music.
Keep rocking!
Greetings Norway. It’s awesome to have you watching. Thanks for your suggestions. This is such an amazing band and I’m sure we’ll be doing more. Thanks for being one of our babies from the beginning and keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Finally Grannies!! Been waiting for you two to watch this band on Gateway live. They are "Symphonic Black Metal" fyi ladies so like rated R and Nightwish is PG13 😅😅 Explore more because its not over yet;)
They’re pretty awesome for sure. Thanks for the info and keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
new suscriber!
I like how you compare them to Nightwish and if you like these guys you would also like the band Therion, especially their older music Like the album Theli. They are Swedish and are the innovators of symphonic heavy metal :)
Thanks so much for your suggestion and keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🖤🎶🤘🏻
A French Nightwish 😆🤣😂
Well we we’re definitely wrong about the French thing, but I’ll stand by that Nightwish vibe 100%. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
As a french, I can assure you this do not look like french :p They aare from Norway ;)
If you want some french metal with french vocals :
- Seth
- Néfastes
- Benighted (only a few songs like Necrobreed, Carnivore Sublime ...) they also sings in english and german.
Thanks for the info babies and for your suggestions. Keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Alcest
Their song "The Insight and the Catharsis" is a masterpiece, especially with the majestic clean vocals of their ex-bassist Vortex.
Yes!!!!
@@Necromanticfantasy Vortex had the voice of an angel and a face of a pug. lol
Thanks for your comments babies. You keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤

There name is from a volcanic formation in Iceland
I've watched several of your videos and I'm glad I found you. This is one of my favorite songs, I'm very glad you like it too. I would like to suggest/request that you check out the band "Gloryhammer". They're not at all like Dimmu Borgir, more of a power metal sound with a Dungeons and Dragons theme, but I'd love to see your reactions to the videos for either their self-titled song "Gloryhammer" or "Hootsforce". Keep on rockin' grannies! \m/
Thanks for your suggestion babies and welcome to our Granny Squad. So glad to have you here with us. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Love the reaction! Check out “Vredesbryd” “The Chosen Legacy” “Kings of Carnival Creations” “Spellbound by the Devil” or “Sorgens Krammer (original)” they are my favorite songs from Dimmu! ✊🏽
Thanks so much for all the great suggestions. Keep on rocking babies. 🤘🏻🎶✌🏻🖤
Dimmu Borgir are norwegian :)
Thanks babies and keep on rocking. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Great reaction! I'd love to see you react to Heilung! Any song will do!
Thanks Danielle. That’s another new band to us and we appreciate your suggestion. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Would love to see what you think of Belphegor 😄
Now is that a song or a band? It’s something totally new to us. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤

Thank you so much for your suggestions and for your kind words. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Next the second of the big extreme metal / orchestra concerts.
Septicflesh Infurnus Symphonicus MMXIX.
And hard to pick one, but Anubis, vampire from Nazereth are decent options.
Thanks Andy for all of your suggestions. We truly appreciate the info. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
You'll need to check out some newer "Septicflesh" if you like choir + Symphony + Metal. Live from Mexico. Infernus Sinfonica MMXIX
Thanks for your suggestion and for your info on the band too. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
Now you need to check out more Black Metal and its variations, I personally can not recommend something like 'Mgła - Exercises in Futility V' enough. It's a polish band and just for you it's pronounced 'M-gwah'.
Thanks for your suggestion. That’s definitely a new band to us. Keep on rocking babies. ✌🏻🎶🤘🏻🖤
