Product Description
Contents: The masterpiece 5th album by Norwegian black metal band Dimmu Borgir is back with a remix/remaster by Fredrik Nordstr?m! A historic album that was the first in black metal history to extensively incorporate a string orchestra. Bonus tracks featuring pre-production recordings and rehearsal footage are also included! When the black metal movement emerged in Norway in the early 90s, it was music that was the complete opposite of commercialism. And rightly so. A scene rife with demons, arson, and murder could never be put on a commercial basis. After that, black metal underwent a detoxification process and came to be judged purely on its musical style. Among them, Cradle of Filth from the UK and Dimmu Borgir achieved particularly great success. Dimm Borgir, a band that has even been known to have Crown Prince Haakon Magnus, first in line to the Norwegian throne, secretly attend their live performances, is a true superstar in their native Norway. Now, their 5th album, "Puritanical Euphoric Misanttropia," is being reissued. While collaborations between extreme metal bands and orchestras are no longer uncommon, this is all thanks to Dimm Borgir. This album, featuring a real string ensemble of over ten members, is a monumental work that started it all. With Nicholas Barker, formerly of Cradle of Filth, on drums and ICS Vortex, whose beautiful voice shines on bass, many consider this lineup to be the pinnacle of their career. "Puritanical Euphoric Misanttropia" is a masterpiece that changed the history of symphonic black metal. We are delighted to announce that Fredrik Nordstr?m has handled the remixing and remastering of this album, giving it an even more powerful sound. As a bonus track, it includes pre-production footage and rehearsal recordings of the album, making it highly valuable as a historical document. A must-listen for extreme metal fans!
