DIMMU BORGIR enter studio with Fredrik Nordström[views:11987][posts:28]______________________________________ [Oct 24,2006 4:28pm - the_reverend ""] Norwegian symphonic black metallers DIMMU BORGIR have entered Studio Fredman with producer Fredrik Nordström to begin recording their new album for an early 2007 release. DIMMU guitarist Silenoz checks in with the following recording update: "So, just to let you know, everything moves along nicely in the studio, perhaps a bit too well…? With past studio ghost experiences in mind, something is just bound to happen… I'm sure of it. Well, apart from being the typical pessimist, at least it didn't take us too long to get all the basic rhythm guitar tracks down and even better - it sounds awesome! A fat and razor-sharp tone, without compromise, hitting you right between the eyes! Proper equipment — Engl amps, ESP guitars and Seymour Duncan pickups — make things hell of a lot easier, I say. Leads/solos and acoustic/clean guitars will be laid down later when everything else is ready. Bass and keys are up next. We expect it to sound nothing less than grandiose once this beast is finished. Oh, yeah, almost forgot, we have the album title as well, but we're not gonna announce it until the time is right!" |

| ____________________________________ [Oct 24,2006 7:12pm - arilliusbm ""] For All Tid is a pretty good album. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 24,2006 7:14pm - dreadkill ""] i like some of their stuff. |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 24,2006 7:42pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] The only thing I'll give them is that they're better than Cradle of Filth and they are both in the same mall-goth black metal scene. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 24,2006 8:03pm - sinistas ""] and they've both shared the fat drumming skills of nick barker. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 24,2006 8:04pm - dreadkill ""] and now they have hellhammer, so at least we know the drumming will be incredible on this album |
| __________________________________ [Oct 24,2006 8:20pm - sinistas ""] nick barker is my drumming counterpart. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 24,2006 8:20pm - dreadkill ""] i don't think i have a drumming counterpart |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 24,2006 8:22pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] My drumming counterpart is Lord Marco. True story, bitches. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 24,2006 8:24pm - sinistas ""] so you say. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 24,2006 8:25pm - sinistas ""] it's probably Shades from That Thing You Do. |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 24,2006 9:44pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] I don't even know who that is. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 24,2006 10:14pm - dreadkill ""] i don't either. he must be on drugs. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 24,2006 10:23pm - Hoser ""] I love this band...can't wait. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 24,2006 10:38pm - xiwontletgo ""] honestly, im pretty pumped for this release. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 24,2006 11:29pm - Yeti ""] yeah i cant wait for this either. they fucking rule. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 25,2006 12:08am - sxealex ""] yea ill fourth that. they have pretty enthralling soundscapes... |
| __________________________________ [Oct 25,2006 12:10am - sxealex ""] btw i thought nick barker did a great job on the previous couple albums |
| _________________________________________ [Oct 25,2006 8:12am - SacreligionNLI ""] yeah i don't think any drummer can hold a candle to nick barker just because of his sheer power, speed, and intricate fills i love this band to death and can't wait to hear what this sounds like(didn't they say they were going for a rawer black metal sound this time? or is that just what every black metal band says?) p.s. shades is only good at jazz drumming, he got lucky on that one song |

I'm willing to bet a dollar that it'll be three words and make no sense. Who wants some of this action? (I'll buy it. They make enjoyable records, if nothing else, and I'm a Simen Hestnaes fan, so I'll buy it, and then make merciless fun of it on RTTP so you know I'm Kvlt.) |
| _______________________________ [Oct 25,2006 10:34am - Yeti ""] hahahahahaha |

| _______________________________ [Oct 25,2006 10:41am - Yeti ""] i have to agree with mike, however i am not in any way shape or form saying that Hellhammer cant do what Nick Barker does. i've seen Hellhammer drum, and its not something you can easily wrap your brain around. Hellhammer's style will bring a new dimension to Dimmu, i'm really interested to see where it takes them. i am willing to bet that it wont be as blistering in speed as the previous works. it will have its moments, but i dont think it will be as up in your face. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 25,2006 11:32am - dreadkill ""] i think hellhammer can do things barker can't or at least hasn't from what i've heard. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 25,2006 12:47pm - Yeti ""] i just hope that this doesnt end up sounding like The Kovenant's "In Times Before the Light". |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 27,2006 7:37pm - anonymous ""] hit it hard, harder, much harder, now faster, speed it up, kick it! |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 27,2006 8:56pm - xanonymousx ""] the new metalocalyspe features nathan working at a 'iummu burger' |
