DIMMU BORGIR Part Ways With Drummer NICK BARKER?

Norwegian black metallers DIMMU BORGIR are strongly rumored to have parted ways with drummer Nick Barker (ex-CRADLE OF FILTH, LOCK UP).

The group, who recently cancelled their Japanese/Australian tour, have yet to officially comment on the matter.

Barker joined DIMMU BORGIR in 1999 as a replacement for original drummer Tjodalv (a.k.a. Kenneth Åkesson). He has since appeared on two full-length studio albums with the band: "Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia" (2001, Nuclear Blast) and "Death Cult Armageddon" (2003, Nuclear Blast).

it hadn't been said yet, so i had to throw it out there. maybe i should've been more creative and named a specific food, such as cheeseburgers, or watermelon, or maybe even quiche perhaps.

Maybe he left because the new album sucked.
Maybe he's too busy with Brujeria. [trying not to laugh]

If it is true, they should get Hellhammer to fill in. Hehehe.

i'm sure it is true. i was talking about it with
someone earlier and he said it was confirmed
on some website. i should have asked which.

hm.. I could make up a site that confirms anything...
and as homer j simpson said "people will believe anything that is even remotely true"

Hahaha, is that from the Mr. X episode? I love how when the computer loads you can clearly see his face before the bag goes over his head. Top drawer! Top...drawer...

hahaha...i'm glad i'm not the only one that thinks the new cd wasn't great. i don't think it sucks, but it's like the same thing as puritanical only watered down musically and increased in production. lackluster...lackluster i say!

[Jan 26,2004 8:20pm - the_reverend ""]
you've never used the word lackluster in your life!
the new CD is good.
not their best, but still better than most trash

[Jan 26,2004 8:23pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""]
i have to used the word lackluster in my life! but it started back in like april or may, so it hasn't been that long. i heard my friend Hook say it whilst giving his opinions on the newest death by stereo release.

and thus, lackluster is an important component of my abundant vernacular. bitch.

Way to go using big words then using the wrong to/too/two. You're watered down musically and lackluster.

Dimmu was at their highest with Enthrone... but i would have to agree Mark that the new album does suffer from some problems. I can only think of "progenies" being the best song on the album. Alot of them tend to end up sounding the same. But if Nick did end up leaving i think it's gonna be a very hard drummer to replace....

i've been listening to enthrone alot lately. great album. i thought the new album was good. the second track is one of their best ever, i'd say. puritania is my favorite dimmu track though, so what do i know? :spineyes:

Damn, that sucks. I wonder why they aren't releasing to the public the reason that he left or if they kicked him out or whatnot.

Hellhammer is filling in for the re-release of Stormblast, but otherwise he is not a full time member. at least not yet.

why are they wasting their time re-recording stormblast? it's fine the way it is.

(Why is this thread back?)

Seriously, it's a dumb, cash-out idea to record that, and there's no way for them not to fuck it up. The only question is how they're gonna fuck it up. Are they gonna do it note-for-note, no changes, just recorded at Studio Fredman? That album would sound ridiculous like that. Are they gonna go back and do it all fake raw Black Metal and try to necro it up? (Not fucking likely.) OR are they gonna drop fifty layers of Mustis synths and Galder "DOO-doo-doo-DOO-doo" riffs on top of it, with blast beats, and a guy who can actually sing? Yeah, probably, and why bother? Yecch...

personally i'd like to hear they are working on new material; i actually like "death cult armageddon" better than "stormblast"; as rediculous as that may sound to a lot of people.

I have it and it's nothing special...

they pretty much ditched all the synths.

i am a huge Dimmu fan, and i dont really get it either. i know why, i just dont think it needs to be done. the original possesses that element of youth, old school, and passion. overproduction will rob it of those elements. i hope they do this right. i have faith.

i bet it'll be one of those things that has to grow on you

but yea...they should've spent all that time and effort on a new full length
