ON THE MAKING OF THE NEW ALBUM
The band is frantically working on the details of the songs that will appear in the successor album of “Communion”. The recording process is scheduled to start on the middle of this Summer at their own newly build DEVASOUNDZ studios in Athens. Again the Orchestra will be recorded in Prague.
This time, the band’s effort to expand its dark and dreamy sound-scapes will be aided by famous producer Peter Tagtgren (Amon Amarth, Marduk, Therion, Children of Bodom, Celtic Frost, Immortal, etc).

Immortal’s new DVD is finally done and will be released this summer by Nuclear Blast.
The title is “The Seventh Date Of Blashyrkh”, and contains the band’s headlining performance
at Wacken Open Air in 2007.

Norwegian symphonic metallers DIMMU BORGIR have announced their collaboration with Norwegian composer and Berklee College of Music summa cum laude alumnus Gaute Storaas, the 51 member KORK (the Norwegian Radio Orchestra) and the 38-member Schola Cantorum Choir for the band's as-yet-untitled new album.

To date, over 101 musicians have lent their talents to the making of the CD.

Composer Gaute Storaas shares some insight on what it's like to work with DIMMU BORGIR: "There have been several attempts of dressing up rock bands in suits, bow ties and symphonic splendor, to various degrees of success. Working with DIMMU BORGIR is quite different. Their music is epic, thematic and symphonic already from the creation; they are clearly having an orchestral approach to composing. My role in this is sometimes just to transcribe their themes, sometimes to take their ideas, tear them apart and build them back up in ways that are true to the band's intentions. The music must also be both interesting and playable for the musicians, and hopefully, meet the quality standards of the orchestral world."

DIMMU BORGIR's ninth studio album will be released in Germany on October 8, in the rest of Europe on October 11, and in North America on October 12 via Nuclear Blast Records.

INSIDIOUS DISEASE (formerly INSIDIOUS), the international metal project featuring members of DIMMU BORGIR, NAPALM DEATH, OLD MAN'S CHILD and MORGOTH, will release its debut album, "Shadowcast", on July 12 in Europe and July 27 in the U.S. via Century Media Records. The bloodsoaked cover artwork was created by Kjell Ivar Lund and will be censored by a nice CD slipcase to avoid any trouble with the shops. Apart from an equally gory booklet, the limited-edition first-pressing CD will include two bonus tracks ("Insomaniac" plus a blistering cover of DEATH's classic "Leprosy").

On ressent un petit coté Hate Forest, avec le retour de voix black, mais toujours cette influence tribale et chamanique. Ca s'annonce plutôt bien comme album..
