I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS! Dimmu Borgir "The Insight and the Catharsis" Live Wacken 2007

[@MalyceN]

I was there 2007 at Wacken. Being in the middle of the chrowd singing the part of ICS Vortex together with a bazillion people around me was the BEST DAMN THING!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I bet!!! This melody ran cold chills all through me.

[@n3var1]

The latter part of Vortex vocals is magical. On the second had most them are...

[@robertomanfredi342]

Vortex makes everything sound so good

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

He really does! Have you heard the new Borknagar album?

[@robertomanfredi342]

@@TheWolffAndTheMelody nope but will have to now.

[@donaldwohleen6327]

I've only seen these guys once, but I still remember how awesome it was. In Sorte Diaboli tour 2007 with Kataklysm, DevilDriver and Unearth. When Dimmu came on, the stage curtain slowly lifted up to reveal the entire band standing with their devil horns in the air and they kicked into Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse. Damn I wish I had a time machine!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

WOW I BET THAT WAS AMAZING!

[@turpasauna]

Ics Vortex always makes me happy. ❤ Him and Marco Hietala have amazing clean vocals.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Agreed! Top Notch

[@TravelingHC]

One of my all time favorite Dimmu Borgir songs! 🤘🤩🤘

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

This was so good!

[@MohmadNoxcho]

This song is a pure masterpiece from the beginning to the end .. DIMMU BORGIR FOREVER 🤘🤘🤘

[@pin-upmariposa412]

Dimmu creates so atmospheric music. I really like clean vocals. Fantastic reaction. ❤

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Pin thanks so much for your constant love and support It means a ton!

[@CarolMarianaa]

Watching this now I just realized how MUCH I've been missing on this band. I've listened DB before, but I haven't dived deep into their music... this changed my mind. What a fucking epic song!!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Yea, you and I both! We gotta discover them!

[@LorePlayingGames]

Give "The Maelstrom Mephisto" a shot. It also has a clean vocal part by Vortex, but is more obscure.

[@florisbiezeman3800]

I just saw this song live yesterday at Dynamo metal fest in Eindhoven, man it almost made me cry… such an epic song. Dimmu Borgir were such worthy headliners of the festival!

[@deliathorja442]

Goosebumps every time on Vortex. This makes my heart happy. Best era. Love these guys! ❤

[@deliathorja442]

Kings of the carnival creation. Ozz fest

[@technoviking4131]

I first heard Dimmu (as a teen living in a small town in the middle of nowhere) on a backing track in a short scene for the movie The Cell (playing on the serial killer’s turntable in his bedroom). It was only a few seconds on screen, but I knew right away that something was truly unique. I searched for months trying to find out more (the internet wasn’t what it is today and I didn’t have a lot of access) until I finally did. Dimmu has since been one of my favorite bands.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

What a great introduction to them!

[@janaelizabethsekelski]

Tongue out.. yes, they were the best like this!🔥🌟🤘

[@mauricionavarrete10]

Dimmu es mi banda favorita... Gracias por reaccionar a esta banda que creo que es la mejor en su género... Escucha este tema otra vez pero no la versión en vivo sino la versión del disco y notarás los sonidos más puros y hermosos.. Un abrazo amigo..

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Much love my friend!

[@wolverine669]

Oooh the golden era of Dimmu.

I can see why people say this was the golden era.

Dimmu Borgir has a forever spot in my Metal playlist! Love this concert footage, sounds so good! Stay metal! 🤘🤘 P.s. : There's a Hamburger restaurant* in Chicago that sells Heavy Metal themed Hamburgers , so naturally they have a burger Called the Dimmu Burger ... that is all 😂 * Kuma's corner is the restaurants name I think

[@down_the_vinyl_path]

I had to look up that restaurant, if there's anything I love more than music it's food lol especially a good burger, and Kuma's Corner looks fucking great! 😆🍔🤘

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

You got it!

[@wilfredheerspink5246]

I was there too. ALthough somewhere at the back chilling in the grass with the girl I was dating at the time. Already saw them 2 times prior to that (in '99 and in 2003 ... while backstage) but when they played " a succubus in rapture" I lost my shit! I must say that that there are older recordings with Astennu on guitar... his solo's areally addes a whole new dimendion to Dimmu!

[@mikakyro4165]

Best Ever

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

So good!

[@lizardanya]

I wasn't sure how I felt about this one at first, but I ended up really enjoying it. The shift in vocals and the almost haunted-house/horror style melody dragged me in. Good pick!

[@DukeEnlil]

Dimmu Borgir yeah!!! Nice song and nice year! Also please do a reaction to Dimmu Borgir - Arcane Lifeforce Mysteria (studio version 1999)! Cheers!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I will have to check it out! I loved this!

I have to add...maybe You will consider to react to the bands own documentaries such as Dimmu Borgir - World Misanthropy (2002)and Satyricon - Road Extravaganza!(2001) These bands mostly shot them thelves drinking and hanging around with some other legends in rock/metal scene while there were touring! These are great documentaries! And some fun moments!))) I didnt see on You tube enyone did react to those! Thanks and cheers!

This was coll,it had that haunting late 90's feel to it. It was really clean for a live performance. I'm not sure how I feel about the vocals, though. I get what style he is going 6 his clean vocals wete really good. I guess I just prefer the cleans.

Dude yea the quality was amazing! Those cleans blew me away.

AWESOME!!! Is there a Video from the complete Wacken 2007 Gig in decent quality?
