Norwegian Symphonic Black Metal: DB


It's hard listening music(k). "Keep it brutal," as Cannibal Corpse and others like to say. Is Dimmu Borgir now the greatest band ever, at least in the extreme rock category? Now Cradle of Filth, whom they used to be compared to all the time, can't hold a candle. And limp Larstellica is just common stock rock. The thrash makes sense, the punk power, but the precision, the technicality, the talent to put this together, and never mind the addition of the orchestra, it is just too much in the best way.

(D'N'A Reacts) We Yanks are so -- but we mean well in big hearted Texas

Progenies of the Great Apocalypse
[Verse 1: Shagrath]
The battle raged on and on
Fueled by the venom of hatred for men
Consistently without the eyes to see
By those who revel in sewers equally
We the prosperity of the future seal
Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind
Born to capture the essence of
The trails of our kind

[Verse 2: Shagrath]
Zero tolerance must be issued forth
Behind the enemy's line
So it shall be written
And so it shall be done
Zero tolerance must be issued forth
Behind the enemy's line
So it shall be written
And so it shall be done

[Verse 1: Shagrath]
The battle raged on and on
Fueled by the venom of hatred for men
Consistently without the eyes to see
By those who revel in sewers equally
We the prosperity of the future seal
Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind
Born to capture the essence of
The trails of our kind

Too extreme?

[Chorus: Vortex]
Discover and conceive the secret wealth
And pass it unto your breed
Become your own congregation
Measure the sovereignty of its invigoration

[Instrumental]

[Bridge: Shagrath]
We, who do not deny the animal of our nature
We, who yearn to preserve our liberation
We, who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire
We, who aspire to the truth and pursue its strength

[Verse 4: Shagrath]
Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare
Fearing all the mediocrity that they possess
Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might
Reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours
Consider the god we could be without the grace
Once and for all
Diminish the sub-principle and leave its toxic trace
Once and for all
