DIMMU BORGIR: Video Interview Available

August 3, 2007

A video interview with DIMMU BORGIR members Silenoz (guitar) and Shagrath (vocals) conducted in March 2007 by the Italian web magazine Attenzione has been posted online. Watch the footage in two parts below.

Due to a recently diagnosed injury, DIMMU BORGIR drummer Hellhammer will be unable to play drums for the band on the remaining festival dates this summer and the upcoming European tour with AMON AMARTH and HATESPHERE.

Hellhammer's x-ray confirmed a severe neck prolapse causing numbness in his right arm. He will be going into treatment for soon and could — quite possibly — undergo corrective surgery.

Taking over drum duties for the upcoming dates will be Tony Laureano (NILE, ANGELCORPSE, AURORA BOREALIS),who played for DIMMU BORGIR during the band's North American stint on Ozzfest in 2004 and during festival performances throughout 2005.

DIMMU's record label said in a statement, "We wish Hellhammer a swift and successful recovery!"
