Dimmu Borgir - Abrahadabra - Release Date - October 12, 2010

Medieval symphonic melodic death metal would be the best way to describe this band that has been around since 1993. When I first heard Dimmu Borgir I thought I was in a death metal heaven (or hell...whatever) I couldn't believe what I was hearing. That sound turned out to be something brand new to me...that sound was Symphonic Death Metal. I said "Really?" Like an orchestra behind the band? Playing along with the band? Answer: Yes. I still can't believe what I hear every time they come out with a new album, they still impress me more and more to this day. They have your standard black metal drum beats (double kick bass) and guitar riffs, but they utilize it in a very diverse course than your usual black metal bands. Also they don't use the "growling" vocals like other bands do which turns a lot of people off from this genre in the first place. When you listen to it the first time and you will see what I'm talking about. Usually black metal is frowned upon by the majority of the public because it is to loud and "satanic" but you can't let that get in your way of your "morals", these guys are real musicians and they know what they are doing. For you metal lovers out there this will be a treat if you don't know who these guys are, but for you non-metal lovers I will warn you. It. Gets. Loud.
