the cheesiness is too much for me lol and the female voice on Gateways it just breaks the mood and the album cannot be taken seriously after that imo

Sounds like rejects from the B-sides of Death Cult Armageddon

"This is where the oh-so-darkly-titled Abrahadabra comes into play."

The album title is obviously a reference to Aleister Crowley / Thelema. Has absolutely nothing to do with being "dark" or "satanic". Kind of an ignorant thing to say imo.



That's not to say they don't have a corny, gimmicky image though, so perhaps you were justified in assuming it was meant to sound "dark".

Good review aside from that, album is pretty bad.

The first time I commented, I said this was "beautiful"...but after getting SERIOUSLY into Dimmu, I realize this is definitely not their best. What I think now: there are definitely some songs that work (Chess With the Abyss, Gateways, Dimmu Borgir, Ritualist), but overall this incredibly lacks the evil flare from In Sorte Diaboli.

This is the worst thing they've done. There is no excuse for this garbage.

Yeah this definitely isn't the worst thing they've done. Saying this is worse than their previous effort is crazy. This album at least has decent tracks as opposed to being limited to just decent moments

The amazing memes the Gateways video alone spawned should be proof enough of this album's horribleness.



I mean

After In Sorte Diaboli, I had given up on these guys. But this is an entertaining album, at least.

Holy shit, it's been 5 years since this turd came out... Dimmu thinks they're Metallica, that they can release one album per 5 years just because they're famous, have a lot of cash and play a lot of gigs. smh

Death Cult Armageddon was "good." This bored me to tears. I don't get why popular bands like this insist on making their music sound as sterile and lifeless as possible.

This is a Harry Potter concept album in disguise.

Abrahadabra actually comes from Abracadabra; Aleister Crowley changed a letter to use the phrase for himself in one of his works. And Abracadabra comes from Aramaic and means essentially "I create like the word". JK Rowling actually took that and changed it into Avada Kedavra to mean something like "I destroy with a word", which obviously fits the whole "killing curse" theme. *the more you know*

I'm almost wondering if most of the hate is coming from some sheep-complex... You know, where people see others doing something and they unquestionably hop along.

As this is pretty awesome, and I know my musical taste is quite supreme.
