Opinions? Personally i don't like some of the earlier dimmu stuff, but the later stuff i like a lot. i got death cult armegeddon and it's friggen awesome and so i just got puritanical euphoric misanthropia and it so far seems even better. and i'm only onto the second song.

its just a little too much like 'orchestral black metal by numbers' to me at the moment, progenies of the apocolypse is pretty cool or what ever its called, i've forgotten.... i prefer my black metal a little less clean sounding, it feels too sanitized to me, bands like Zyklon, Anaal Nathrak and Mistress are more my flavour

Anaal Nathrakh are in a league of their own for sheer brutality. i've only got these two dimmu borgir cd's, but i'm pretty sure their earlier stuff was a little less refined, but that's kinda why i don't like it as much. but i do enjoy anaal nathrakh quite a lot, have you heard their latest work yet? it's fucking brilliant. as a side note, in the song "the supreme necrotic audnance" i think it is, and a few others on total fucking necro, is it just me, or are the only words through the entire song "anaal nathrakh"?

ahha, yeah, I've listened to some of their shit, but i like it. It's good, and anything with a double bass pedal is good to me. I love how in the song used for cKy 3 they have it. I wouldnt buy a cd. I have about 6 songs, which are all very good.

who said i bought anything? normally i would, but cd stores here don't have that kinda stuff and charge ridiculous amounts to order it in, so they can shove it up their arse, i downloaded PEM and my friend somehow found death cult armegeddon, so i just ripped that. but i would buy stuff if i could find it. and i believe the song from cky is puritania. if you like double bass you must be a fear factory fan? their drummer is friggen amazing though...

Eh, I've never heard any of Dimmu Borgir's music... well, wait, I have, but I wasn't paying attention to it. ;D Forelander brought up Fear Factory again. ;D They are good, or I should say, they were good...

still are...the band reformed minus dino i believe...i could be wrong, but i know they still exist.
Unless you refer to the visible descent into pansy music the band took as the years progressed...soul of a new machine was little more than death metal, demanufacture was the perfect mix of brutality and melody, obsolete, while still a goddamn good album started to show a tendency for soft crap rather than metal, and digimortal was pretty crap if you ask me. I've not heard archetype so i'll reserve further judgement for now.

Yep, I was talking about FF's descent into crap. Digimortal was horrible. Obsolete was fine, but I haven't been bothered to listen to any of their other albums...

It's not that i don't like the double pedal, I just dont really listen to metal or whatever. I checked them out, not bad at all. But I wouldnt listen to them on a regular basis.

i think i heard one of the greatest drummers yet, but he plays in a somewhat pussy band called from first to last. good drumming can make up for shitty song writing before a good song can make up for shit drums though, especially when you have control over the double bass like he does.
and yes this is quite off topic.
