tough to take this over stormblast yet. I will say my GOAT shagrath still crushes, though.

idk I don’t hear what you guys hear. this just sounds like standard modern dimmu with just a little more energy than the previous few records.

I think stormblast 2005 is what I listen to the most whenever I come back to dimmu



ironically I also like rite of passage, reminds me of some songs from might & magic 8 by Paul Anthony Romero

enthrone is pretty clearly their best work with stormblast og and puritanical not far behind

enthrone is the platonic ideal symphonic black metal album

Yeah i think I prefer stormblast for it being a little more riffy and less symphonic than the next two

Stormblast is my fourth fav Dimmu, but its still an easy 5.

I thought it was standard Dimmu at first but the magic is in the song structures imo. Nothing wowed me on first listen but the more I listen to it, the stronger it becomes.

"the magic is in the song structures"



well shit, that's the strongest argument I've heard yet for me to spend an hour of my life on this. songwriting creativity is the first thing to go for most bands that make it to being a legacy act.
