Dimmi Borgir : Abrahadabra

Label: Nuclear Blast
Description:
When a band is known for breaking barriers and shattering
expectations, even the original can seem mundane. For Dimmu Borgir
however, their seemingly neverending well of inspiration has exploded
into something much larger than life on ABRAHADABRA. They have eschewed
the keyboard-heavy sound and topped even themselves by collaborating
with over 101 musicians, including Norwegian composer and Berklee
College of Music summa cum laude alumnus Gaute Storaas, the Norwegian
Radio Orchestra (KORK), and the Schola Cantorum Choir. Legendary
musicians from King Diamond, Ulver, Vader and more also lent their
talents. The result is a massive and altogether unprecedented album
that thrusts Dimmu Borgir into the metal elite. The bombastic power and
mature composition are completely unique, yet sound so organic it's as
if they were destined to create such an album their entire career. The
title translates as "I will create as I speak" and first appeared in
the Liber AL vel Legis (or, The Book of the Law), an occult text
transcribed by Aleister Crowley. The subject matter is innovative in
its own right and perfectly suited for a world that's as explosive and
unpredictable as their music is. This challenging but infinitely
listenable musical masterpiece redefines symphonic black metal and
proves to fans and detractors alike that Dimmu Borgir are an
unstoppable force of nature!
