DIMMU BORGIR's 'The Invaluable Darkness' Lands On 'Top Music Videos' Chart

October 22, 2008

"The Invaluable Darkness", the three-disc package of 2 DVDs plus a bonus audio CD from Norwegian symphonic black metallers DIMMU BORGIR, sold 1,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 5 on the Top Music Videos chart.

Checking in from DANZIG's Blackest Of The Black tour in Minneapolis, Minnesota is DIMMU BORGIR guitarist Silenoz: "Everything's going well. We're happy with the tour, and to get this news… [pause]… It's cool that the fans appreciate that we came out with this DVD now. It seems that this was what they wanted and we gave it to them. We're selling an autographed version of the DVD on tour, so anyone who wants one should come out!"

On September 30 at the Steve Allen Theater in Los Angeles, fans of DIMMU BORGIRhad the unique opportunity to attend an exclusive, advanced screening of footage from "The Invaluable Darkness". There was also a question-and-answer session with special guest Silenoz hosted by Brendon Small of DETHKLOK and "Metalocalypse" where fans were able to ask questions.

Over 30 minutes of footage from this event, as well as a video interview Nuclear Blast Records conducted the next morning with Silenoz at the label's USA office can be viewed below.
