About

Dimmu Borgir are a Norwegian symphonic black metal band formed in Oslo in 1993. Over more than three decades they have built a reputation as one of extreme metal's most ambitious acts, fusing black metal aggression with full orchestral arrangements and choral elements. Landmark albums such as Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia (2001) and Death Cult Armageddon (2003) - the latter recorded with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra - brought them mainstream visibility without abandoning the genre's roots. In May 2026 they released Grand Serpent Rising, their first studio album in eight years, via Nuclear Blast Records.
