This band seems pretty interesting if all there songs tell storys, I like that kind of music that has a real message.
I mean like a meaningfully video.
I read the video description, you should too.
Taken From: In Sorte Diaboli
Joachim Luetke explains the concept, symbolism, and story behind the video: "The Sacrilegious Scorn" is mainly a paraphrase on Christianity's core-symbolism and motives.

Such examples are the Roman soldiers gambling over Christ's garment, the mockery of St. Michael the Archangel, driving Satan out of Heaven by stepping on him and pointing his sword onto him. Now we see this reversed, when the inaugurated Antichrist is doing that to St. Michael.

I prefer the term Dark Emperor - not Antichrist, for the battle of "light" and "shadow" reaches back far beyond Christianity.

We also witness the inauguration of the Dark Emperor in the Temple of the Baphomet, seeing him taking the oath as the new sovereign while celebrating a mockery of the Last Supper. The story culminates in the Dark Emperor showing up in front of his followers, bringing out blessings. The Empire of Darkness is then established.

The overall look of the video is a bow to the legendary, unique style of Roger Corman, especially his adaptation of The Masque of The Red Death, featuring the unforgettable Vincent Price. www.hammerfilms.com

This lifts the clip to an additional meta-level: The mockery of using an early 60's technique to visualize "The Sacrilegious Scorn" for a present day audience.

Any metal fan should know about Dimmu Borgir. They are legends.


Nice post btw, nice to see someone putting effort into what they post. :D

Yeah Dimmu Borgir are the best of the best when it comes to Black Metal.

[Devilfire]

...The drumming... IT IS INTENSE! Also, the song isn't that bad. The video on the other hand... Awesome still. :D

I think this girl doesn't like rock.

[troublemaker1111]

I can assure you I rock harder than all of you combined. See that band in your sig? Seen them 5 times.

but dimmu borgir, are a joke.

[xriss]

You might rock harder than us all combined, but I'm a huge fan of rock and Metallica too. I was also going to watch them at the "Rock Am Ring" but the tickets got sold out in ilke 15 minutes @ the interwebs.

And yeh, they might be a joke - but their drumming owns.

Stfu and sit down, poser boy. This isn't about who's louder and who has a "tougher, more metalhead-ish attitude". Gotta say, from all black metal out there, Dimmu and about the only ones I'd listen to willingly.

[troublemaker1111]

i was simply responding to the accusation that I did not like rock. I'm sorry if i offended you in some way but there was no need for foul language.

You just made it clear that you rock LESS, then all of us.

[troublemaker1111]

a bold challenge indeed sir! You really must have an assurance, so speak to me of such an audacious conception! For it is no debatable matter, sir, that I rock the hardest in all the land.

Not big on the whole 'black metal' thing.

Seems a bit too theatrical.
