Dimmu Borgir på vej med nyt album
Norske Dimmu Borgir afslører nu på deres myspace blog, at de har kastet sig ud i et samarbejde med den norske komponist Gaute Storaas og det norske Radio Orkester "Kork", der består af 51 medlemmer plus Schola Cantorum Choir, der består af 38 medlemmer. Til dags dato er der 101 musikere, der har udfoldet sig på Dimmu Borgir's kommende album.
Komponist Gaute Storaas fortæller lidt om, hvordan det er at arbejde sammen med 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."
Bandets 9. Studiealbum udkommer den 8. oktober i Tyskland og den 11. oktober i resten af Europa.
