Symphonic black metallic band Dimmu Borgir are nonetheless engaged on their subsequent album. How do I do know that? Properly, they’ve been speaking about it for a number of years now and at Wacken Open Air this weekend, Silenoz stated as a lot.
Throughout an interview with Phoenix Akuma Six, Silenoz defined how the band’s artistic course of takes a protracted ass time.
“Properly, it’s at all times that point the place you may work and work and work on it, however on the similar time you must let it go. It’s the identical when you have got a child and it grows up. You must let it out of its shell someway, and as soon as that’s executed, yeah, then it’s executed.
“However sure albums, we reside with the songs for therefore a few years earlier than we really document them. So we are able to commute, forwards and backwards, and once we lastly then go to the principle studio to document all of the elements once more, then we just about have every thing set.”
In accordance with Silenoz, the band additionally meticulously demos their songs. We’re speaking iterating upon iterations and discovering even the minute little particulars to tighten up. And that’s all executed properly earlier than they ever set foot in a studio. But with regards to the artistic partnership between himself and frontman Shagrath, issues sound like they’re extraordinarily simpatico, because it had been.
“You already know what? I feel there’s only a few issues that we disagree on. I have a tendency to have a look at all the opposite stuff that we really do agree on. And now we have the identical drive now greater than in all probability ever… And I feel now we have the respect for one another and for our model and for our historical past and legacy to not mess it up. So, yeah, if there’s a tough choice to be made, then we do it collectively.”
This new album will likely be an vital one for the band, because it’s the primary with newly launched Chrome Division guitarist Kjell Åge “Harm” Karlsen as their alternative for Tom Rune Andersen Orre (a.okay.a. Galder), who left to revive Outdated Man’s Baby.
Ultimately we’ll be taught extra about what’s coming down the pipe. As for now? Solely time will inform.
