BANSHEE VOCALS GIVE ME CHILLS!! DIMMU BORGIR - Gateways (LIVE) | REACTION

[@EyesOfGehenna]

I travelled, well me and my wife, to Oslo specifically to see this show, so yeah, we were there and it was amazing. One of the best shows I ever saw. This show was a one-off with the choir and orchestra they used for the album Abahadabra. They did one more show with a choir and orchestra at Wacken but those were different people. Dimmu Borgir are sometimes called the dark sibling of Nightwish.

[@atheist101]

I don't know the trombone guy who was jamming out looks like he's at both shows but I could be wrong

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

reminds me of Epica :)

[@rikvidr9140]

Sounding like it belongs in DOOM is just a compliment for the band, I think.

[@Matjo7588dk]

Metal is in many way one of the few genres that keep real music alive. Playing instruments. Creating new complicated melodies. Taking music to new leves. The solos of guitarist and drummers and so on, created by metal artist are in many ways what classic music was. And so much of modern music, is just computer noise. or the same 5 notes. Pop, rap so on. Often just follow the same tone. Metal ( And others, music is many things. But metal is a big part of it ) is keeping music honest. And it makes me happy.

[@mardnm123]

oh boy, Im a metalhead and a guitarist and thats just not correct. Most metal, but especially black metal, relies heavily on speed "tone", and atmosphere and not complex harmonies. prog metal is a different story though, (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGnKgICLn9ynrbM).

[@Matjo7588dk]

@@mardnm123 Metal is 200 different genres. Sure there are metal that does not fit the bill. But much still do. So your point, does not change my point.

[@atheist101]

To be fair though music doesn't have to be complicated. Many times a simple beat and few notes can give you the same goosebumps a wild melody can. I absolutely love metal but I also love hip hop, techno and a few odd genres like Gorillaz. You're right that metal is similar to classical but it's first tied to Blues and Blues has the close classical influence. Music is music whether it's a well written complicated piece or a simple beat.

[@SimoneJaegerFrauPanPan]

instant goosebumps every time! fun fact: when I studied education at college back in 2017, we had to give a presentation about youth subcultures. Being part of the metal community myself of course I played safe and choose metal and its cmmunity as my topic. For references we had to show some material, and Gateways was one of the videos I choose (Heartwork by Carcass, My Apocolypse by Arch Enemy and Windowpane by Opeth were the other videos I picked to explain some of the different styles in Metal) Seeing a class of future kindergartenteachers having their brains grilled was somewhat funny, but some of my classmates and my teacher actually liked the music and apreciated the artistic quality Dommu Borgir have.

[@LeNaInLoVe]

This is what I call E P I C ! I wouldn't mind it was couple of mins longer, so we'd hear more of mrs. Banshee and the "chorus". Productions like this makes me even prouder to be from the High North, the land of the Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights Have a wonderful week!

[@Godless-Being]

We need more sympathy metal bands just as great as DIMMU

[@norkannen]

They did the full setup also in Wacken 😈🇧🇻

[@Oyvind88]

Just amazing performence, love the band and song, proud norwegian😎🔥😍🤘🇧🇻

[@Grievance_Studies_Affair_2018]

Dimmu Borgir and Epica, the greatest of symphonic metal !

[@metalvideos1961]

good choice of PFP haha

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

yes! Epica is my favourite band ever

[@bring-out]

Love your take on this song my Arab Man. And I hope you realize you build bridges between cultures and how important that is!

[@bjhellstream]

The orchestra is the Norwegian Radio Orchestra that worked together with the band for this project. I think the musicians are employed by the orchestra, i e Norwegian Radio.

[@KenJohansen]

This show was broadcasted on norwegian state owned TV. So it is in a way payed with tax money 😁🤘

[@JanLan]

If you react to Gåte - Svarteboka, you will see Agnete even more intense

[@DrManarKawar]

I see you are getting heavier and heavier every week… great job… Dimmu are great and special band… symphonic/melodic death metal. They influenced a lot of musicians in the scene… Can’t wait till next Wednesday… Keep it metal🤘🤘🤘

[@XPGrindDeathking]

Symphonic Black Metal.

[@bring-out]

Don't know why I was just recommended your channel but you earned a subscribe for sure!

[@erwinamesz7642]

My Arab friend! Much better you won’t find outside Scandinavia! Please also react to Dimmu Borgir Wacken 2007 The Insights and the catharsis (former bassplayer ICS Vortex with clean vocals, majestic!!!!!)

[@puppetmaster8551]

ICS is the fuckin man

[@rareacts9868]

95 people on stage performing. Production was done by NRK. Audience at that concert was 11200.

[@DiogoMotta-ro9pm]

Se fosse um show no Brasil certamente teria uns 200 mil fãs no mínimo... no Brasil tem muito fã do Dimmu

[@osmarbsds]

Love your reactions man, yes, this is brutal, but beautiful. There are more songs to react from Dimmu and I would love to see in your channel very soon. Saludos desde Colombia!

[@MountainMetal]

It thrilled you. It should. Powerful, epic and beautiful stuff. And it cost way more than $30,000. These shows with full orchestra and choir and all the logistical and technical challenges involved can take a year to organize, and they are EXPENSIVE. It's a big reason they almost never happen. (The Retrospect concert by Epica took a full year to put together).

[@ikkegod]

this was shown live on tv, on our natinoal brodcasting chanel just a fun fact from norway :D

[@tskilnan]

Keeping with the Norwegian theme I see 😉 The woman is Agnete Kjølsrud from another Norwegian band called Djerv.

[@ingerkristine3597]

Thank you for a great reaction! Dimmu Borgir is just awsome 🤘They are in the genre symphonic black metal and use choir and orchestra in their songs, and are one of my favourites. You can listen to their songs over and over again, and still find thigs you haven't heard. I also think they use the choir and orchestra tasteful - to enhance and enrich their music. I have been so lucky to see them live twice. On the concerts I met people from all over the world that had travelled to Norway see them. If I can give a recommendation, Council of the Wolves and Snakes is a great song. It's not live, but the video i OK 🙂kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6jWYmuVgr9gotk

[@butterfliesandmoths]

If I remember correct it was broadcasted in public television (NRK). On an other note: I would highly recommend Opeth - Ghost of Perdition, live at Red Rocks Amphiteater 😊 (*Progessive Metal)

[@Dednixto]

Dimmu Borgir у меня с ранних лет. Услыхал в 15-16, Всё ещё люблю. Мне 41))

[@wolfkingAD]

Quick clarification: they are symphonic black metal, not death metal.

[@MrDLYouTube]

You need to dive more into Dimmu.

[@matsmagnem7517]

Dude, this was a great reaction with real thoughts and emotions :) Great! Subscribing to this!

[@Aevalina]

I wish I was born as Agnete 😭❤

[@TheCreativeKobold]

Awesome stuff, man! Love Dimmu Borgir, and love Agnete(the guest vocalist here)! She also guested with another Norwegian band quite recently called "Gåte" for a song called "Svarteboka". I can almost guarantee you've not heard anything like it before. It's not metal, but it's music that people whom like metal are very likely to enjoy. ;) Their song "Huldra" is also amazing! Some other Norwegian metal favorites of mine that I highly suggest checking out: Pagan's Mind(prog/power), Leprous(prog), Borknagar(prog/black), Circus Maximus(prog), Arcturus(avant-garde).

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

This is a fantastic reaction. Wonderful to see you be this openminded to something that clearly is not of your own musical tradition. Here in the North the most popular metal genres are symphonic metal, death metal and something called Viking metal,- basically metal music with Nordic folk music undertones and themes of Vikingr and the Vikingr Age. You like production and seem to like your metal brutal so here are a few suggestions for you: Dimmu Borgir: Mourning Palace - Live Forces Of The Northern Night: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZiZn2aQnbCqqpY&ab_channel=NuclearBlastRecords Eluveitie: Rebirth: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ml7ThKRqgq-gr5o&ab_channel=NuclearBlastRecords Arch Enemy: House Of Mirrors: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3XZdZ2bh9hgldE&ab_channel=ArchEnemy Amon Amarth: Guardians Of Asgaard: Wardruna and Aurora: Helvegen( Live): kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ_Ohah-hZ6kadE&ab_channel=wardruna And finally something that also ought to resonate with you: Iranian musical scholar Farya Faraji specializing in composing music in traditional folk genres from all around the world. Here is his take on what the mixture / meeting of Nordic music, Greek medieval music and maqams might have sounded like: Farya Faraji: The Varangians - Epic Byzantine Norse Music kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2Kohnylf6maqc0&ab_channel=FaryaFaraji Enjoy. Just subscribed.

[@Vesteriin]

11:09 actually what you need isn't a shower, you need to stand in the rain and listen to their song Stormblåst. If it's daytime listen to the 2005 version, if it's night then do the original 1996 version

[@antivanti]

You should check out some more Dimmu Borgir! One of my favorite songs ever is Mourning Palace. Here's a live version from Wacken (also featuring an orchestra and choir) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZiZn2aQnbCqqpY

[@bennyj8386]

Awesome reaction vid👍

[@antivanti]

There is no beauty like beauty contrasted with filth =)

[@Vi-king-dom]

I will leave this in the comments down below: I want more Dimmu Borgir! 🤘Preferably Mourning Palace from Wacken 👍Well done sir!

[@kjell-ivaraarli1187]

Normal tickets were around 60 USD for this night. Quite reasonable

[@franciscohuanca5910]

Her vocals are amazing, but i really feel the space that vortex left in the group, is just not the same

[@camillelejosne8010]

welcome to our world :]

[@roeloftooms]

If you love to see some monks singing then you should watch Gregorean. There is a live version of stairway to heaven to find but all their music is a cover of famous songs.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

irl Agnetta is a very nice lady. But i would marry her just like she is there. dang 😊

[@benyorke5758]

Don’t forget to Istigfar after watching this..

[@thsc9119]

I'm not really into heavy heavy heavy metal EXCEPT Dummu Borgir, who I love for their no holds barred, no nonsense, kick out the jams purity.

[@bobbigboss111]

Listen to the real band Banshee "Full circle".

[@angharaddenby3389]

Any chance of a reaction to something by Erancnoir - a black metal band from IRAN?

[@DiogoMotta-ro9pm]

Reaction Sepultura dead embrionics cells please

[@norkannen]

😈😎🤗🇧🇻

[@benephelps]

25000/92 performers = $272 bucks apiece... I am sure this show costed a lot more that that.

[@stianborgund4845]

dimmu borgir the song from the same set is in my opinion way better :)

[@angharaddenby3389]

It is bands like this that prove that there is no major difference between metal and classical music. Even the growling vocal style, called 'vox diaboli', dates back to the Mystery plays of the 14th century, where the part of the Devil speaks in a gruff tone. Metal is just the same. The only real difference between metal and classical is in HOW they are played.

[@JeremyBarbell]

Check out the good songs from Dimmu! Songs from Enthrone Darkness Triumphant through Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia. So many good ones. This song is their most overrated song by far. It’s really not great compared to their earlier stuff.

[@BloodBoughtMinistries]

Jesus Christ is Lord

[@bobbigboss111]

Why the singer is singing like this?????? Why? What kind of music is this? How did they took the name of the band from another metal great band? Did anyone listen to the original Banshee band? they are a 100 year better. Man, give me a break.

[@Grievance_Studies_Affair_2018]

What band name? They are called Dimmu Borgir.

[@Grievance_Studies_Affair_2018]

And they are singing like this because it's black metal. More specifically, symphonic black metal. Absolutely incredible music. I clicked in your links too, and, sorry but that Banshee band just sounds like a million other heavy metal bands. I couldn't hear one single moment that made me think like"oh wow this sounds great". A band like that will never even come close to grandiosity and epicness of symphonic metal bands like Dimmu Borgir, Epica, etc. Here's an example for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYeafJaMZbuNo9k
