What is Dimmu Borgir?

Pronounced "dim-moo bore-gear", the Dimmuborgir is a large area of unusually shaped lava fields east of Lake MΓ½vatn, on Iceland. The Dimmuborgir area is composed of various caves and rock formations. It would seem that this has been formed from a lava-lake, out of which molten lava flowed and left behind strange formations. The most famous cave being Kirkjan - the Church - high with a large gothic style vault. Dimmu=foggy/dark, Borgir=castle/fortress.

wtf mate?

Dimmu Borgir - what is it?

A shitty black metal band fron Norway. After hearing them, I wanted to repeatedly shoot myself in the face, just after gouging my eyes out and eating a tin can. There was no way they deserved a spot at Ozzfest 2004, but somehow they got there. They have one of the worst screamers I have ever heard. They blew dick at Ozzfest, and now I have no respect for black metal.

Me: After just hearing Dimmu Borgir, I want to go vomit. I'm going to the bathroom.

What does "Dimmu Borgir" mean?

Possibly the worst band in the history of music, and I use the term "band" loosely here, because its not so much a band as it is a bunch of dirty dumbasses screeching about TORMENTING A CHRISTIAN SOUL while chaining eachother up with leashes and fucking eachother in the asshole. Their music is horrible and is mainly there just because you have to play music to be a band, their main priority is worshipping "Satan" and creating a bunch of worthless Demon Butt acolytes that wear black and think its cool to set fire to goats. Definetley a no-listener.

"Holy shit? What is this noise, a baby being beaten with a jackal?"

"No way man! This is my new Dimmu Borgir CD!! PURITANICAL EUPHORIC MISANTHROPIA!"

"I hate you!" *punch*

Dimmu Borgir - what does it mean?

A metal band from Norway, started in 1993 by singer Shagrath, and bassist ICS Vortex. This band follows in the footsteps of Norwegian Black Metal band, Immortal, in the fact they paint their faces in corpse paint (KISS makeup) and Growl (singing buy using low, unharmonic vocals) They are well known through out the metal scene. They combine they growling from their vocals with symphony orchestras in their music, and from time to time, the bassist will sing with clean vocals, to create a unique sound, no other band can come close to. They have several albums spanning from "For All Tid" in 1993 to "In Sorte Diaboli" in 2007. The name of the band is Norwegian for Black Church, named after a lava flow in norway, that oddly created caverns, the biggest of these caverns, is named Kirkjan, the word for Cathedral.

Dimmu Borgir is the heaviest, most satanic band ever.

Dimmu Borgir - meaning

Norwegian symphonic black metal band. While middle-aged people generalize their lyrics as dark and angsty, unlike The Beatles, they have the ability to cover more than one topic in a single album, including poetically challenging extremist conservative religious fanatics, the definition of morality, telling a narrative of Satan's assistant, and several more if you understand Norwegian.

Occasionally their music videos or lyrics contain unjustifiably objectionable material, but I interpret that this is their message to their fans not to become mindless followers of their band.

If you had to mass-generalize Dimmu Borgir, you'd have to call them a cross between heavy metal and classical.

Dimmu Borgir - definition

The most pretentious and bombastic of Black Metal bands, and, for that reason, the most enjoyable.

Take three impressive-sounding words that have nothing to do with each other and put them together. Then you have the title of the next Dimmu Borgir album!

Dimmu Borgir

A Norwegian black metal band that has a unique style all their own. Not only do they visually make a statement, but their music does as well. Dimmu were on Ozzfest 2004, which hopefully got their name out to a few more people in the United States. Vocalist Shagrath helps to make the band one of a kind.

Two great songs:

'Cataclysm Children' (English)

'Allehelgens Dod I Helveds Rike' (Norwegian...if you can't tell)

Dimmu Borgir

A really cool symphonic black metal band from Norway.

Sure, they're not traditional black metal like bands such as Bathory or Emperor, and their lyrics can be somewhat.. crazy.. but the music is intense and awesome.

So, before all of you start yelling at me and calling me some sort of evil goth Satan-worshipper.. first of all, I'm Christian and I don't worship Satan, and second of all, I'm not trying to relate to their lyrics - I just like their music. If I wanted to find some good meaning in lyrics, I'd look at bands like Stratovarius or HIM, both of which are also really good.

So once again, Dimmu Borgir is an awesome band, and for those of you who want some nice heavy metal, I suggest checking these guys out.

Some good songs by Dimmu Borgir include: Sympozium, In Death's Embrace, Alliegance

Dimmu Borgir

A kickass black metal band from Norway. They have tons of cd's out (my personal favorite is puritanical euphoric misanthropia). They have a lead singer to die for who's name is shagrath and They were on ozzfest 2004, currently they're taking a 2 year break (yes I know, so sad. :(... but then they'll be back cause the battle rages on and on.

They also did the theme song for that show on mtv. Battle for ozzfest.
