Notes2010 release from the Norwegian Metal monsters. On Abrahadabra, they have eschewed the keyboard-heavy sound and topped even themselves by collaborating with over 101 musicians, including Norwegian composer and Berklee College of Music summa cum laude alumnus Gaute Storaas, the Norwegian Radio Orchestra (KORK), and the Schola Cantorum Choir. Legendary musicians from King Diamond, Ulver, Vader and more also lent their talents. The result is a massive and altogether unprecedented album that thrusts Dimmu Borgir into the metal elite.
I've always enjoyed black metal and dark ambient metal, so Dimmu Borgir was right up my alley so to speak. The most well known song on the album is without a doubt, "Gateways" and it has a pretty well shot music video. The lead singer kind of reminds me of Baal from Diablo 2. But my favorite song on the album is probably Xibir, which is more of an intro than a song, but it's such a good intro. Just excellent.
