DIMMU BORGIR - GATEWAYS LIVE / First Time Reaction

[@pirxmad8738]

"This song talks about the importance of freedom and evolution. The protagonist believes that when people embrace these things, they can achieve a better future. He also encourages people to take control of their own lives, whether they want to be a healer or a faker, and realize that they are the ones in charge of their destiny."

[@Inneract]

Couldn't agree more! I actually made a video with the same idea, exploring the aspects of the lyrics. This song is incredible!

[@RafaelMatosTheater]

A word from the sacred text of Thelema.

[@technics6215]

The sound guy? They probably have freakin army of sound engineers. And note thats not just music. This is a like theatre show. Clothes. Lights. Choreography. And don't fogrget that this is live. Many metal bands put a lot of effort into whole show. They must be great musicians, actors, very talented people. For average people whole that culture may look and sound weird, but if look and listen to this for a while you will find how many layers of art are present in this and how primitive are other genres of music.

[@Calirohe]

I love to some love for Dimmu Borgir, they are a great band to see live (even without the orchestra, the show is a banger). As usual, your open-mindedness to all music genres is a pleasure to watch, see you mext time :)

[@toufickakati5628]

Dimmu borgir from Norway guys 🤘

[@Inneract]

Loved the reaction, you guys are hilarious! Please make more videos featuring Dimmu Borgir songs. This band is amazing. I've done two video analyses of their song lyrics. I even have a tattoo with lyrics from "Gateways" and a cat named Dimmu after the band. It's always wonderful to see the reaction of people who are new to the band. You should check out "Mourning Palace" (best track ever). Keep it up!

[@pattaccone]

This is the best band to make people close their windows around you in traffic 😂😂.

[@KONIGO0RE]

Too much pause for an unecessary commentary

[@Schaw1337]

Dimmu Borgir is from Norway, this is the official state Orchestra playing with them, I do not know which choir it is, but probably one which got funding from the state, Here in Norway we are really proud of our black metal and the state are too, big business and export :)

[@Schaw1337]

Remember, its not that weird, we are the original vikings ;) hehe

[@Loop2React]

Facts! Love Norway !!!

[@TheSturle]

The choir is the Schola Cantorum Choir

[@staalenaess]

This was a cooperation with the NRK, the Norwegian government supported TV & Radio channel. The orchestra members have full time job with "krinkastnings orkesteret" (KORK) as is the NRK's orchestra. A video of Orchestra rehearsal: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHunk3RjqayhsLssi=8LLp5ca0t53b-gib

[@enlightendbel]

They also did other shows with Orchestra. I believe the show at Wacken with Orchestra is on KZbin too.

[@JariJuslin]

Most of the audience was in their homes - this was a special event where Norwegian public broadcasting company and their orchestra and choir teamed up with Dimmu Borgir so it was obviously televised. The rehearsals must have been massive to get it all work that smoothly. Just the technical side of micing something like hundred people without mics picking wrong stuff and then mixing it all without turning it to a blurry mess is an accomplishment.

[@LeperMessiah2]

There are some behind the scenes from the rehearsals on KZbin and the online version of NRK (Norwegian public TV channel)

[@AlexanderZelaya]

YOU SHOULD REACT TO "MOURNING PALACE" OR "PROGENIES OF THE GREAT APOCALYPSE", LIVE FROM WACKEN OPEN AIR 2012. THOSE SONGS ARE FUCKING MASTERPICE 🔥🔥🔥

[@hellraiserMB]

No , they should close the channel or limit their reviews to the things they like .

[@peter-john-morgenrood]

Nice, thanks for the reaction. One thing, you interrupted the song just before the guitar solo as it was about to exit. Then pause, go back and talk over the solo again. Please could you rather let guitar solos play uninterrupted in future. I am a drummer but can still appreciate a good guitar solo. This song is truly a musical and lyrical masterpiece. Thanks for reacting to it.

[@Thantazify]

It may have been mentioned in your comments before, but the whole concert is available on youtube. Just search for Dimmu Borgir live in Oslo Spectrum. It was as mentioned by other commentators a collaboration between Dimmu Borgir, Kringkastingsorkesteret(orchestra) and Schola Cantorum(choir) supported by the national broadcast channel, NRK. If I remember correctly there was close to 100 people on stage that day.

[@TwistyBro]

Funfact, the woman featuring is Agnete who is the lead vocalist in Djerv. They did the song " get jinxed " for league of legends.

[@marcelotube99]

Nice

[@sophieanderson1885]

Please, please, please, please, please. Do more these.

[@christinadanielle2776]

Oh Please please check out Septicflesh Anubis or anything with the orchestra! You will not regret it!

[@trevorjohnston5115]

The bald guitar player looks like igor from the hilarious house of frankenstein!!! Lmao...for sure

[@Rudi_Wolff]

At least do your research before you comment to a video, ffs. The ignorance is endless in this reaction..

[@ingerkristine3597]

This is one of my favourite bands. They are Norwegian symphonic black metal band and they started in 1993. The vocalist, Shagrath, and the guitarist Galder has been in the band from the beginning. As @Marco-nu6dg mentioned, on this song, they have Agnete Kjølsrud from the band Djerv as a guest singer. I like the way they "play" with the music adding orchestra, choir and several shifts in the music during a song. You never know whats next! If you want to listen to more of their stuff, I can recommend their official video of Council of the Wolves and Snakes kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6jWYmuVgr9gotk .

[@EatingPepper316]

No, Galder joined in 2000. Shagrath and Silenoz are the only 2 founding members still in the band.

[@ingerkristine3597]

Thanks for correcting@@EatingPepper316 I must really been tired when I read and wrote 😀 and my mind elsewhere...

[@EatingPepper316]

@@ingerkristine3597 all good !

[@Kylrue]

Wasn’t Galder in Old man’s child?

[@henriklindberg1646]

zoom zooms filled with nonsense on their skins, watching something more. Nothing Evil in these lyrics, he is singing about human potential.

[@DiogoMotta-ro9pm]

A música fala muito sobre o livre arbítrio e sobre o destino que na verdade é você quem cria

[@digitalmouse3314]

There songs are about persecution of pagan people for last 2000 years this song is about hope for the future where christians and pagans can hold hands and love one another.

[@khaldrogo1570]

Dimmu Borgir fenomen dlack metal

[@AndyProtteurisM]

Please react to Septicflesh- portrait of a headless man live orcestra

[@LeperMessiah2]

This show and the one at Wacken was full stage (maybe more) The female singer is a feature. She called Agnete from another band.

[@taurusguy9305]

Its GATEWAYS, not get aways.

[@KingSaintClair]

"What are they talking about" Metaphors bro

[@johnnypatino9112]

More dimmu borgir

[@nightnine9128]

They're from Norway.

[@trevorjohnston5115]

Norway got the best black metal

[@emiltonramalho6468]

DB🤘🤘🤘

[@Marco-nu6dg]

They always used samples and synths on there album for the choir and classic music effects. On the last album they replaced them for a real orchestra and choir. They did also two live gigs with them, this one and one at Wacken Open Air (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZiZn2aQnbCqqpY). And they have Agnete Kjølsrud as a guest singer on this track. Dimmu Borgir is an Death Metalband from Norway.

[@torhelgevreb688]

They are a symphonic Black Metal band

[@EatingPepper316]

They used real orchestras on their albums from 2001 and onwards.

[@olalundqvist3080]

On This particular show there was approximately (Including the band) 150 people on stage.

[@БатөлзийДулмаа]

A guy with a tattoo on his face has a funny face haha

🇧🇻

[@lunarwolf5555]

The Best band!

[@tst6735]

Bra

[@olalundqvist3080]

"Who writes these lyrics?" The band does. I think (I might be wrong of course as I Don't claim to be sitting on All the answers) that Mustis wrote the music score and Shagrath wrote the lyrics or it's all Mustis... something like that. Correct me if I'm wrong though folks. 👍🤘😈

[@ManuelluisPereira]

Selinoz writes the lyrics

[@omaratenogenes68]

You should hear any song of Septicflesh Band from infernus symphonica live with an orchestra and adult and child choir in escene, blow your maind

[@Pirate1718]

They are from Norway, so don't offend us by calling us french. Thank you etch a sketch pads.

[@joaorafaeldossantos4891]

Recomend this music: Satirycon - Phoenix (Live)

[@WoWsadistic]

they are from Norway

[@NewAeonWarlord]

Every time I see this, I want Agneta to front her own blackmetal band 😁

[@covaciumarius]

The song is about the gods of old (fallen angels or daemons),even the title gateways is suggesting that. It's like a song of cry for the gods to return.

[@smugegeez1406]

I took it more as "the core principle of freedom is the only notion to obey" is that were all blindly following rules masked as freedom, and that the "rebirth is near completion as we awaken from slumber" is when we realize this, hence "waking from slumber." the song continues on to talk about creating your own path and that its in your hands, and realizing this is the gateway to your own divinity.

[@silentnemesis3608]

You should react(or listen, however you want) to any live of Kings of the Carnival Creation. That's absolutely one of the most legendary longer songs from this band which is also performed with orchestra

[@silentnemesis3608]

And yes, Silenoz makes their lyrics

[@anahi977]

please more and more about Therion

[@heathenhammer2344]

Norwegian nit French

[@Metalandstuff]

You talk way too much, at the wrong places , solos , song's , invited guests singers ...please be silent. This reaction is very hard too watch.
