DIMMU BORGIR - Gateways Live At Wacken (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO)

[@MrEldin14]

I'm a sound engineer for live bands. The production and the mix are amazing. Festivals are horribles ( in terms of times of soundchecks, production and problems that you have to solve the quickest way). It's always hard to get the sound you want, specially with this many musics on stage and with big PA's. It sounds crystal. You can hear any instrument. The double bass sounds amazing as the guitars. Really amazing job from the sound producers and live engineers. Even if you are not into metal, you have to admit and admire the hard work from all the people who worked on this. Every single man and woman behind this did their work excellent.

[@1337Ox]

@Horvek Andor yeah sure, after the festival they went to the studio to re record the sound, all of them including the orchestra lmao

[@laloelsalamanca]

Except for the vocals, they sound funny and weird...like if the vocalist had swallow a drunk cat or something.

[@blazeweber]

This song is so perfect, Dimmu Borgir is awesome. Also, great sound mixing, the orchestra sounds great with the band

[@Eva_H]

The Oslo Performance was better in my opinion, mainly because the stage didn’t looked crowded like here. Still a great performance overall though 🤘🖤🤘 I’ve still got to pick up Forces Of The Northern Lights 🤘

[@blazeweber]

@@Eva_H agreed, but they where playing on Waken, limited time and space. They did great on this show, but Oslo was perfection

[@Eva_H]

@@blazeweber How they managed to utilise that space was pretty impressive. I guess sometimes watching his performance over and over I feel claustrophobic and yet I’m not claustrophobic. I’ve always appreciated the orchestra/choir In terms of how it is utilised, it gives gateways a lot more theatrical grandeur with a live orchestra. I say that is somebody who has a big thing for symphonic metal. I felt relieved eight years after Abrahadabra The next album was damn good. I also have a personal relationship with gateways from the perspective of this was my first foray into Dimmu Borgir in the first place at the age of 24 back in 2010.

[@officialmetalwill]

Recorded from the board, produced in a studio setting at a later date. I can guarantee you this is not the same mix that the audience was hearing. I've been to shows where the live mix sounded awful but the recording sounded flawless.

[@C0bfan666]

With alot of practice, general talent and just being Norwegian.

[@cederickforsberg5840]

@@officialmetalwill Thats exactly it. I also run live sound sometimes and MIXING LIVE vs MIXING THE RECORDED MULTITRACKS are two different things. Often the multitracks are 95% similar to mix to an actual studio recording.

[@fugginrambo]

Post Production can work wonders

[@randomuser3209]

The sound/mix in this is absolutely amazing! Dimmu Borgir tend to be difficult and festivals are the worst place for bands with more demanding music anyways ... So for this to sound this good, everyone had had to bring their A game. Good stuff, props to everyone involved, from band itself to sound engineers and technicians!

Fucking spectacular. Dimmu is one of the greatest metal bands of all time. I’m not a black metal fan typically, but this isn’t black metal. This is just amazing, Norwegian heavy music. Shagrath is an amazing person; both on and off stage. Anyone who follows him on the Gram knows this. He is the ultimate dad. He is constantly posting pictures of him with his kids. His daughter has him wrapped around her little finger, and it’s so fucking cool. Huge fuck yeah to that.

No joke, i literally cried when seeing that video! I discovered Dimmu Borgir in late middle school, but i saw that video just now in 2024. I can assure that Agnete Kjølsrud is my absolute favourite female singer, she's beyond what my mind can process!!! Thank you for this masterpiece!! ❤

[@mootkickee]

Agnete is a boss. Wish they’d use her again for another song. I remember how hard this album was critiqued when it was released, and now it’s regarded as a classic DB album

[@ytbr3383]

This. Always thought it was high quality, and Gateways is still one of my fav DB songs.

[@femoman]

Probably because there were a lot of particularly melodic bits and female vocals, not to mention that their outfits for the album were white (which pretty much confirmed for me that the black metal community can be seriously petty and stupid sometimes)

[@ytbr3383]

@@femoman I agree, since those things made the song unique and great.

[@andros1486]

Older Dimmu fans needed time to come around to it, and newer Dimmu fans started appearing afterwards as well. Now a new kind of community has formed that appreciates the album for what it is, and it IS great.

[@oOJampisOo]

A lot of it had to do with it being the first album without Vortex and Mustis. The expectations were super high to say the least… 😅

If there's one thing people always compliment Dimmu on whether they're fans or not is their live sound. It helps when you're a headline act of course but basically they are meticulous when it comes to planning shows and they work with really great collaborators. It's no accident that it sounds this good. Also some credit must go to the festival organisers themselves who allowed enough breathing room for setup etc to make something of this scale possible but then that's why Wacken in my opinion is THE single best metal festival anywhere in the world . They know that a little more time and effort as well as support to the artists is well worth it when you hear and see the final product.
