DIMMU BORGIR: Performance Footage Of New Single From Munich Available
September 25, 2010Fan-filmed video footage of Norwegian symphonic black metallers DIMMU BORGIR performing their new single, "Gateways", on September 25, 2010 at Zenith in Munich, Germany as the support act for KORN can be viewed below.
The first show of DIMMU BORGIR's European tour with KORN took place last Sunday night (September 19) at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam, Holland.
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, and will be made available in the rest of Europe on September 27, and 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.
