Best line up ever. Barker, Vortex and Mustis may not have been founding members but they added so much to the sound of Dimmu Borgir, wish it wouldve stayed that way.
I don't know how often it has been said here, but Vortex' Voice (especially @ 5:55) is so awesome!!! I get creeps over and over again! Of course all the other instruments are first-class too!!
Damn shit!!!! The periods 3:18-4:22 and the last minute anh a half makes me wanna cry!!! They're incredible!!! Fuck!! If this is not art then wtf is art??? One of the best songs sure I've ever heard!!! the best group in music!!!
I like the guitars at 1:04 :) Oh and the piano is freakin great in this one It's really all of them being great and being combined that makes this song one of their best, but Vortex gets a lot of recognition for some reason.
I agree, the end of this song is the best metal music I have ever heard. singing, keys, heavy bass/guitar/drums. bad ass. Dimmu is my fav band (wish they weren't doing the satan thing, but i guess you cant have your cake and eat it too.)
God I miss Vortex. His singing on this is just epic. Oh well, at least I can comfort myself with that I have the limited Alive In Torment EP, which has this on it... I love living in Norway.
I love this band. as well as cof. (and as always, their older shit was the best) But, even in todays music, their new stuff is still much better than the main stream shit.
Ok, that´s because a matter of differences between cultures, maybe. In my country, Argentina, that´s a way to call him, but it´s not an insult. It´s an affectionate way to call him, that´s all. I know there´s a lot of stupids saying "Dimmu burger" and all that shit, but believe me, it´s not my case. I love this band and specially Galder and Vortex
Vortex added such an element to DB that cannot be replaced. His clean vocals are what gave them an identity and separated them from the rest of the sympho-black bands. Before he joined, there was nothing special about this band.
@HeavenTornAsunder666 What is mainstream? if a band is unorthodox and creative or lets just say "non-mainstream" and manages to touch alot of people and get a massive audience, are they by default then not good anymore? Or for instance in dimmu borgirs case, say the album stormblåst, is that not good anymore cause dimmu several years later "made it" ?
If everything Dimmu has said about him and Mustis so far is true. I hate to say this but I don't think we'll ever know exactly what happened. I just hope this isn't the last we hear about Vortex and Mustis.
Jaja, yes, man. I see him right now. Thanks. But he really deserves to be more implicated on the video, don´t you think?. I mean, it´s all about Sagrath, Silenoz, and Vortex. (Balder it´s a affectionate way to call him because of his abundant hair). Go Dimmu 4 ever
Shaggrath is irreplaceable in Dimmu Borgir. He gives Dimmu the whole ambient sound, the black metal sound, the Dimmu sound! Dimmu would be a good band without him, but with him, they are godly.
AND WTF????? Who says Galder isn´t great?? have you read my comment or wath? I said that Galder DESERVES TO BE MORE IMPLICATED ON THE VIDEO, because he´s fucking great. Try to read wath I wrote first, and then write something with sense. OF COURSE I HEARD OLD MAN´S CHILD, im a black metal MUSICIAN, and my band plays Dommaker live a lot of times. Im not just a fucking average fan
Best line up ever. Barker, Vortex and Mustis may not have been founding members but they added so much to the sound of Dimmu Borgir, wish it wouldve stayed that way.
i am so agreed
One of the best Borgir songs EVER!
I always get tears in my eyes when I listen to this. So pure. Gah.
last two minutes = greatest thing ever. period.
Best song Dimmu Borgir has ever made imo
man, years I havent heard this song, it made my day :)
I don't know how often it has been said here, but Vortex' Voice (especially @ 5:55) is so awesome!!! I get creeps over and over again!
Of course all the other instruments are first-class too!!
Vortex is a god, both when it comes to bass and when it comes to vocals.. Fantastic!
Aaaaahhh Nickolas!!!!!! I'm comming now
Damn shit!!!! The periods 3:18-4:22 and the last minute anh a half makes me wanna cry!!! They're incredible!!! Fuck!! If this is not art then wtf is art??? One of the best songs sure I've ever heard!!! the best group in music!!!
one of the best song from Borgir
I like the guitars at 1:04 :)
Oh and the piano is freakin great in this one
It's really all of them being great and being combined that makes this song one of their best, but Vortex gets a lot of recognition for some reason.
here the best time and the best line up for the band!
AHHHH why do all the good bands end? Do you know what i would pay to see them perform this all over again.... I need a fucking time machine.
New Dimmu's album is coming in September! :D
it was the best dimmu time: year 2001! hair stuffs, jackson guitars, black scenery and enegry play!!!!!!now is easiest =:(
love this song
I agree, the end of this song is the best metal music I have ever heard. singing, keys, heavy bass/guitar/drums.
bad ass. Dimmu is my fav band (wish they weren't doing the satan thing, but i guess you cant have your cake and eat it too.)
Ics Vortex !!! Wonderful Sound .
best singing from Vortex, EVER
LOVE MUSTIS!!! SUCH A DARK ATOMOSPHERE TO THIS SONG!!! xD
-Rene
bravaaa so cool song
Two words, actually: AWESOME METAL!
3:18 - 4:22 epic moment
5:32 - 7:08
PURE EPICNESS!
vortex voice is so pure. best!!
God I miss Vortex. His singing on this is just epic.
Oh well, at least I can comfort myself with that I have the limited Alive In Torment EP, which has this on it... I love living in Norway.
this version of the song is so much better than the more polished ones. More raw
shagrath has a fucking unbelievable scream!!! vortex is epic as fuck... this is one of my favorite songs... fucking EPIC as fuck
3:35 totally not a joke, this part was so awesome it cured my constipation
unbelievable. their music transcends anything else.
Nick Barker is the fucking man, his drumming on this song is killer
Well, all jokes aside this has to be the most inspirational song to black metal music; and Vortex only makes it more epic.
ah, fuck. that voice can't be replaced.
Holy shit... I heard the bass in this vid!!
I love this band. as well as cof. (and as always, their older shit was the best) But, even in todays music, their new stuff is still much better than the main stream shit.
I miss this Dimmu Borgir sound, can`t compare Vortex with news adds of abrahadabra... unforgettable line up the best for me!
definatly the best song they have!!!(even though they're all good)
@ianf1217 Gorgoroth has been on MTV and i think they're more underground than DB so who knows... They might of been aired before
@specialDFX I completely agree with you.
Oh dreadful angel of mine enrich me with the vastness of your being !!!!!
man i keep playing this song , fucking nice
Ok, that´s because a matter of differences between cultures, maybe. In my country, Argentina, that´s a way to call him, but it´s not an insult. It´s an affectionate way to call him, that´s all. I know there´s a lot of stupids saying "Dimmu burger" and all that shit, but believe me, it´s not my case. I love this band and specially Galder and Vortex
Watching old videos of Vortex/Mustis makes me sad.
Vortex added such an element to DB that cannot be replaced. His clean vocals are what gave them an identity and separated them from the rest of the sympho-black bands. Before he joined, there was nothing special about this band.
@Casso14894 Yeah same with me! :D
It's seriously one of the best songs ever written that I know on this moment^^
@avend666 Mainstream? Since when have you heard them on a local radio station or seen them on MTV?
Yep, Shagraths voice was unbelievably good during this era.
@HeavenTornAsunder666
What is mainstream? if a band is unorthodox and creative or lets just say "non-mainstream" and manages to touch alot of people and get a massive audience, are they by default then not good anymore? Or for instance in dimmu borgirs case, say the album stormblåst, is that not good anymore cause dimmu several years later "made it" ?
i love vortex
3:17 - 4:22 is the part i like most of the song.
i´m very sad to have´t seen them live together with vortex and mustis :(
i can't find the death vol. 7 dvd anywhere it has this song on it does anybody know where i can find it?
@HeavenTornAsunder666 you do know that dimmu has sold more than 80,000 alone with enthrone darkness so they are quite mainstream.
Yep! :D
Shagrath's voice sounds nearly as good as the SBD days, which I think were his best.
5:27. Amazing, while simple, keyboard solo.
Shagrath decided to wear his girlfriend's clothes that evening.
Same here man, it sucks when good bands end like Dimmu did, I want a fucking time machine too lol...
If everything Dimmu has said about him and Mustis so far is true. I hate to say this but I don't think we'll ever know exactly what happened. I just hope this isn't the last we hear about Vortex and Mustis.
Jaja, yes, man. I see him right now. Thanks. But he really deserves to be more implicated on the video, don´t you think?. I mean, it´s all about Sagrath, Silenoz, and Vortex. (Balder it´s a affectionate way to call him because of his abundant hair). Go Dimmu 4 ever
3:19 best part ^^
Last good album for Dimmu's old/mid era!

The last 2 minutes... ICS Vortex...
No, Silenoz is the leader of the band, i'm talking about Gaylder
where is balder?
@SantomPh vortex.
hey i said this 2 weeks ago!
true story bro
@HeavenTornAsunder666 Yeah except DB is mainstream. We love them thought.
VORTEX MUST RETURN
same thing with me
Shaggrath is irreplaceable in Dimmu Borgir. He gives Dimmu the whole ambient sound, the black metal sound, the Dimmu sound! Dimmu would be a good band without him, but with him, they are godly.
5:54
oh yeah. haha. forgot about that.
Keyboardist makes me feel like I'm running out of time
Yes its live. Its a Metal band, not shakira...
Vortex only
Vortex is the shit.
@specialDFX you have the rasson .....vortex is God&Satan+1 XD ajajajajaj
you don't know who galder is. on your knees and hail to galder, kid.
i know man.. imagine this song without mustis or vortex you would not recognise it... blame it on shagrath
Mustis can be replaced too, and was
The only member that can be replaced is Galder.
PAPPALARDO TRA IL PUBBLICO hahaha
Although Dimmu still fucking kick all asses, it was definetely better with Nicholas on the drums.
if this ain't art then what art is ?
varg vikernes killed in self defense
666 likes hahaha
AND WTF????? Who says Galder isn´t great?? have you read my comment or wath? I said that Galder DESERVES TO BE MORE IMPLICATED ON THE VIDEO, because he´s fucking great. Try to read wath I wrote first, and then write something with sense. OF COURSE I HEARD OLD MAN´S CHILD, im a black metal MUSICIAN, and my band plays Dommaker live a lot of times. Im not just a fucking average fan
Absolute nonsene. Oldest LPs are the best.
Yeah i know who is him, he's an overrated guitar player who was got in the band becasue he's friend of Sagrath.
