July 20, 2007

DIMMU BORGIR guitarist Silenoz will host today's "Guest DJ Hour" show on Metal Express Radio at 21:00 CET (3:00 p.m. EST). Tune in to hear Silenoz talk in depth about 12 bands that inspired him to be the musician he is today.

As previously reported, drummer Tony Laureano (NILE, ANGELCORPSE) will play more shows with DIMMU BORGIR this summer/fall following the recent announcement that the band's regular drummer drummer Jan Axel von Blomberg (a.k.a. Hellhammer) had broken his arm. "Aside from the Wacken and Metal Heart festivals in August, I will also be doing their European tour, which runs from September 23rd to November 6th," says Laureano.

Laureano sat behind the kit for DIMMU BORGIR in June at the Graspop Metal Meeting and Hell City festivals in Belgium and Norway, respectively. He 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.

As previously reported, artist extraordinaire Joachim Luetke has posted the complete range of his artwork for DIMMU BORGIR's "In Sorte Diaboli" CD at his web site. Check it out at this location.

DIMMU BORGIR's latest album, "In Sorte Diaboli", has sold around 40,000 copies in the United States since its 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.
