DIMMU BORGIR: Orchestra Performance Footage Of 'Dimmu Borgir' Track Available

October 1, 2010

A one-and-a-half-minute video clip of the KORK orchestra performing the song "Dimmu Borgir" from Norwegian symphonic black metallers DIMMU BORGIR is available for free download at this location.

DIMMU BORGIR's current touring lineup reportedly includes Geir Bratland (APOPTYGMA BERZERK, THE KOVENANT) on keyboards and Terje Andersen (a.k.a. Cyrus; SUSPERIA) on bass, although this has not yet been officially confirmed by the band.

Swedish multi-instrumentalist Snowy Shaw (real name: Tommie Helgesson; THERION, DREAM EVIL, KING DIAMOND, MERCYFUL FATE, MEMENTO MORI, NOTRE DAME) announced his departure from DIMMU BORGIR's touring lineup on August 25 — just one day after confirming that he was tapped by the band to replace bassist/vocalist ICS Vortex during the recording sessions for the group's new album, "Abrahadabra", and the subsequent world tour. Shaw has since rejoined Swedish progressive/experimental metallers THERION.

"Abrahadabra" was released in Germany on September 24, in the rest of Europe on September 27, and it will be made available in North America on October 12 via Nuclear Blast Records.

The word "abrahadabra" (which roughly translates into "I will create as I speak") first publicly appeared in Chapter III of "Liber AL vel Legis" (commonly referred to as "The Book of the Law") written by Aleister Crowley in Cairo, Egypt in 1904.

A song-by-song review of "Abrahadabra" can be found on the Eternal Terror web site.

A special European mailorder edition of DIMMU BORGIR's new album, "Abrahadabra", is available for order at this location. The lush box version of the CD (see artwork below) includes the digipak, featuring three bonus tracks, book, numbered certificate of authenticity and vocalist Shagrath's mask as a wall decor (app. 39 x 40 x 15 cm).
