Posted over 2 years ago
In classic fashion, Norwegian Black Metal band Dimmu Borgir (Di-moo bore-gear) are offending people. This time it's with their new concept album, ??In Sorte Siaboli?? (April 24, Nuclear Blast). The coverart, has been banned by retailers and has prompted the band to release an alternative cover."Click here to see the original cover":NE"Click here to see the 'new' cover.":ODSilenoz, Dimmu's guitarist explain the meaning behing the bands first concept album, a story located in medieval Europe:
"There's this dude that works as a priest's assistant, and after a while he just discovers that he has nothing to do with Christianity...He just sort of has this awakening and realizes that he has different abilities and different powers and is leaning more to the dark side."
Dimmu Borgir will be headlining a tour of the U.S. and Canada with Unearth from Massachusetts, California's Devildriver, and Canada's Kataklysm, which begins Friday, April 20 in Cleveland, Ohio.For more info and tour dates, visit "Dimmu Borgir's website":DM[NE]http://www.nuclearblast.de/dimmu-borgir/15XU2007show.jpg[OD]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/BlabberPhotos/Miscellaneous/dimmu_slip.jpg[DM]http://www.nuclearblast.de/dimmu-borgir/

  2. Sturgell says Of course! It's just that Dimmu is a more mainstream, so they have to watch their ass a little more than say Galder's "Old Man's Child" project.

  5. darmuzz says The changed cover looks like the kind of compromise a lot of artists could live with.
