DIMMU BORGIR At Belgium's GRASPOP METAL MEETING; Video Available

June 26, 2007

Fan-filmed video footage of Norwegian symphonic black metallers DIMMU BORGIR performing the song "Kings of the Carnival Creation" from the album "Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia" live at the Graspop Metal Meeting in Dessel, Belgium on June 23, 2007 has been posted at YouTube.

As BLABBERMOUTH.NET first reported on June 15, DIMMU BORGIR has recruited Tony Laureano (NILE, ANGELCORPSE) to sit behind the kit for their two shows in June following the announcement that the band's regular drummer drummer Jan Axel von Blomberg (a.k.a. Hellhammer) has broken his arm.

Laureano previously played with DIMMU BORGIR as a session drummer at Ozzfest 2004 after the group's then-skinsman, Danish drummer Reno Kiilerich (PANZERCHRIST, EXMORTEM, VILE),was unable to obtain a U.S. work visa in time to join the band on the road.

DIMMU BORGIR's latest album, "In Sorte Diaboli", has sold 36,000 copies in the United States in its first seven weeks of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album premiered with 14,000 units — more than double the 6,400 opening-week number achieved by its predecessor, "Death Cult Armageddon", which came out in September 2003 and landed at position No. 169 on The Billboard 200 chart.
