I wish they did an entire album with Agnete as a co-vocalist. Her voice suits the music of DB incredibly, and never fails to send shivers down my spine.

[@eh8432]

I agree, especially when they speed it up I dig her voice with it. It has such an impact on the band.

[@louiejames626]

The live video of her on gateways is amazing literally it made me wanna shed a tear and scream in cynical tones and laugh for no reason . Dimmu!!!

[@evilc.reations]

she gives me good "if robyn did satanism" vibes

[@jedward5155]

I think few people realize guitarist Silenoz actually writes all of Dimmu’s amazing lyrics. One naturally assumes it’s singer Shagrath singing his own words, but Silenoz is truly the mastermind.

Is it him or the other dude that is also in Old Man's Child?

[@HyQ3L]

[@jgoco1]

this piece is so well constructed you can feel the tension how it builds and falls appart at the end of the song. Such a black metal piece of art.

[@leafericksson6422]

@jamez p They're going for more of an orchestra sound. Maybe that's why guitars and bass are not that heavy. It's not so bad.

[@robjones3048]

@@JamezP perhaps it's the quality of your audio equipment? I'm listening to this right now on a pair of Sennheiser OTE studio monitor headphones, and it sounds fucking superb. Yes the guitars are a bit backed off, but as someone else mentioned the idea is to supplement the symphonic aspect.

[@crnozlo1994]

and whatt message is that?? "that this "music" will make you deaf before it makes you crazy."

[@jimh16]

The message that "The keys are in your hands. Realize you are your own sole creator of your own masterplan." And I agree this version sucks compared to the live Forces of the Northern Light video.

[@manuelpasserini4618]

Honestly one of the most powerful, profound, deep, and somehow sad (the ending brings tears) thing I have ever seen. It's not so much sad in itself that it's just reminding me of something within me that I've forgot

[@victorfortress8082]

This lyric is very powerful and profound

[@polybian_bicycle]

Idk, our societies are basically satanic now. It just feels like they're juwt cheering for the status quo. Which is a bit... Boring. :/ At this stage if they'de cheering for family values or something, they'd be more subversive to the hegemonic value system.

[@aaron5222]

Sad because life is truly what you make of it. Really epic

[@petersimon7971]

The ending is by far the best part of this song. So much rage to be felt.

[@norwardradtke1361]

Rage huh? Interesting reflection there. I feel so empowered but also terribly sad. It's telling me to remember what and who I am. It's brought tears to my eyes a few times. What about it makes you feel rage do you think

[@djmajor1597]

The sound at the end is the opening to an older song, Kings of the Carnival Creation. Play them back to back. Pretty cool.

[@SxpticFlxsh]

This is why dimmu borgir is among the best black metal bands:

[@DRUMtechSHRED]

The lyrics: The core principle of freedom Is the only notion to obey The formulae of evolution and sin Leading the way The rebirth is near completion As we slowly awaken from slumber As we slowly awaken from slumber The malpractice of the spirit ends Gateways When the gift is once again attained Gateways No rules or restraints are longer valid Gateways When the ancient future is reclaimed Gateways No rules or restraints are longer valid Gateways When the ancient future is reclaimed Gateways It's all there for the eyes that can see The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy For it is the omen Of what lies submerged - breeding Untouched within us - bleeding The core principle of freedom Is the only notion to obey The formulae of evolution and sin Leading the way The rebirth is near completion As we slowly awaken from slumber To receive the light that shines in darkness The light that shines forever more Forever more Be the broken or the breaker Be the giver or the undertaker Unlock and open the doors Be the healer or the faker The keys are in your hands Realize you are your own sole creator Of your own master plan Be the broken or the breaker Be the giver or the undertaker Unlock and open the doors Be the healer or the faker The keys are in your hands Realize you are your own sole creator Of your own master plan

[@williammunson2508]

I've gotta admit: the message that this song has at the end- "be the broken or the breaker; be the giver or the undertaker;~ the keys are within your hands; realize you are your own creator of your own master plan" - this is just so empowering to me. Almost makes me wish I was Norwegian so I could join a true black metal band (although Behemoth is also that way, even if they're Polish). Hell, as an ex Mormon, I'd love to… well, maybe I shouldn't get too into detail about that.

[@Sinounet]

+William Munson You don't have to be norvegian to enjoy Dimmu borgir !

[@MetalRenard]

+William Munson Sounds like Paradise Lost.

[@evebrown7977]

+William Munson A good band is a good band, no matter where they are from! I just think Europe is more open to the metal scene than any other part of the world, ergo the music reflects it. I heard Dimmu live in 2005? And I thought they were hideous *lol* I still find their records fine.

[@williammunson2508]

Yeah. In fact, I actually think if anything, Scandinavia's the real part of the world that's more open to metal (except Denmark), but there fairly decent American metal bands for sure, like Tool or the Black Dahlia Murder, but in the way of black metal, I just feel like American black metal bands are more like a bunch of wannabe's. You know what I mean? I mean, there are good American black metal bands (Skeletonwitch (or at least their later stuff), Goatwhore (sorta)), but still, I feel like they're just trying to fit into the mold of black metal in a way. But I do like other bands from outside of both Scandinavia and the US. Those bands are totally BRUTAL (Behemoth, Anaal Nathrakh (totally freaky, but I LOVE them).

Not really "heavy metal" it's metal but this is symphonic black metal. Symphonic for the orchestral elements and black for the type of vocals, aesthetic, and overall song composition but this is very very light black metal. I do recomendo cradle of filth if you like these guys though I dont like them.

[@liamcampbell9087]

To be fair, this song/album is nowhere near their prime. If you want a real taste of them in their element, check out the albums enthrone darkness triumphant, and spiritual black dimensions. Enthrone is older and more basic, a more mystical feeling. spiritual black dimensions is more technical, darker, and heavier.

I never really appreciated this song or the album Abrahadabra until a couple of years ago I believe.

Be the broken or the breaker Be the giver or the undertaker Unlock and open the doors Be the healer or the faker The keys are in your hands Realize you are your own sole creator Of your own master plan

[@sebastianlargo535]

I'm not too much into Black Metal, but this one is awesome!

[@erikfarkas7868]

Still slaps.

[@camwinters5672]

The core principle of freedom Is the only notion to obey The formula of evolution and sin Leading the way The rebirth is near completion As we slowly awaken from slumber As we slowly awaken from slumber The malpractice of the spirit ends Gateways! When the gift is once again attained Gateways! No rules or restraints are longer valid Gateways! When the ancient future is reclaimed Gateways! No rules or restraints are longer valid Gateways! When the ancient future is reclaimed Gateways! It's all there for the eye that can see The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy For it is the omen Of what lies submerged Untouched within us The core principle of freedom Is the only notion to obey The formulae of evolution and sin Leading the way The rebirth is near completion As we slowly awaken from slumber To receive the light that shines in darkness The light that shines forevermore Forevermore! Be the broken or the breaker Be the giver or the undertaker Unlatch and open the doors Be the healer or the faker The keys are in your hands Realize you are your own sole creator Of your own masterplan Be the broken or the breaker Be the giver or the undertaker Unlatch and open the doors Be the healer or the faker The keys are in your hands Realize you are your own sole creator Of your own masterplan!

MMA king these lyrics are fucking badass so much power to them

[@akicitaa.8233]

Wait, hold on a sec..."The core principle of freedom Is the only notion to obey" doesn't make ANY sense at all, let alone being a "badass" lyric. That's literally a self-contradiction, and not in some clever, deep way. That's like saying, "The basic tenet of individuality is to only confirm."

[@trbjo123]

@@akicitaa.8233 Perhaps it is the self contradiction they are aiming at. That we are free, but we still have to obey laws of society. i dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@KevinHallSurfing]

Read it like ..."the only notion (is) to obey the formulae of evolution ... and ... sin (is) leading the way"

"The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy" I could imagine this part and I felt a very strong emotion of pain and forgetfulness

One of the best songs in the history of Metal Music. ❤

Not even close. Just this band alone has entire albums that top this, easily.
