I’m writing this post just to show how much we here at NCS love all of our European brethren and sistern (sistern?) even though we are not ourselves European and even when we also want to hate our European brethren and sistern because of opportunities they have that we lack. Such as this opportunity:
Dimmu Borgir will be playing a series of shows during the month of November at nothing but small clubs in the UK, Ireland, and on the Continent. There will be no support acts. Each performance will consist of two sets. In the first set, the band will play one album in its entirety. It won’t be the latest album. It will be . . . wait for it . . . 1997’s Enthrone Darkness Triumphant. Color me green with envy.
The second set will be a selection of Dimmu “classics” from a variety of other albums in their substantial discography.
After the jump, you can see all the dates and places where Dimmu will be doing this. We’re also including links to places where you can buy tickets, though I suspect tickets will be tough to come by. Good luck. Also after the jump, because I’m now thinking about this, two tracks to stream from Enthrone Darkness Triumphant.

I feel only pity for my European brethren who have to listen to Dimmu Borgir do two sets. I think two minutes would be more than enough

Nice one brute. Jon the Crumodgeon ranks 🙂
Took the words right out of my mouth.
I guess I must be a curmudgeon too.
I’m so unfamiliar with Dimmu Borgir that when I saw “Dimmu” I though it was some new Japanese band.
But, that said, are they REALLY that bad? Again, I have no idea.
(I mean, come on, they can’t be worse than, say, Loutallica.)
Listen to one or both of those tracks I put up. I like the older music better than the newer. “Puritania” and “Progenies of the Great Apocalypse” are also worth hearing.
I enjoy all of it to be honest, in different ways,
Although I do seem the only person who prefers the Stormblast re-recording to the original.
I have my ticket.
This will be awesome. Inspiring of awe.
You lucky dog. And speaking of luck, good luck on the tour!! Break a leg, and all that.
Things are getting broken all over the place, trust me!
Color me green with envy. Europe always gets the best concerts. I just need to sack up and move to the other side of the pond.
