DIMMU BORGIR: Glasgow Concert Footage Available

October 13, 2007

Fan-filmed video footage of Norwegian black metallers DIMMU BORGIR performing the song "The Serpentine Offering" on October 3, 2007 at QMU in Glasgow, Scotland, UK can be viewed below (video courtesy of Ragnarok Radio).

In the second part of the band's ongoing tour diary from The Invaluable Darkness European tour (also featuring AMON AMARTH and ENGEL),DIMMU BORGIR stated about the Glasgow concert, "Glasgow is another city [we had] not [previously] visited. For some reason we've never made it to Scotland before on our previous trips to the island, but tonight it was finally time to show the Scotsmen and women what we can do. It started out very good playing wise and the connection with the audience was awesome! A few things here and there, which maybe only we notice, could have been done better, but all in all it turned out to be quite an intense show! The fogger decided to nuts for a while and wouldn't stop so most of the stage was covered in smoke, we couldn't see past our noses for a few minutes. That's when you know to stay put, don't move! The order of the songs might change a little for the next show as we feel there are a few 'dead' spots. Of course we don't expect everyone in attendance to know all the songs we play, let alone receive the same reaction, but as we mentioned earlier, we feel the 'flow' is not yet there. Minor details could change the show for the better. But to sum it all up, our first time in Scotland is considered to be a successful one and we'd love to come back! And, we managed without receiving the infamous 'Glasgow kiss!"
