"Fallen I have, fallen I am , Cursed and destined to burn
Number 1 Symphonic Black metal band in the world returns with new album "In sorte Diaboli" , and album number eight contains no surprises . This album is the natural follow up to 2003 "Death Cult Armageddon" , most of the songs here could easily fit in on mentioned album. But dont worry , "In Sorte Diaboli" continues the good quality of Dimmu Borgir's sound , you get what you want and then some.. Great symphonic passages , monumental and epic , together with brilliant riffs , all this with Shagraths enchanting voice spitting out hatred , darkness and despair .
This is also the bands first "concept" album . "There's this dude that works as a priest's assistant, and after a while he just discovers that he has nothing to do with Christianity" Silenoz says. "He just sort of has this awakening and realizes that he has different abilities and different powers and is leaning more to the dark side." (Taken from Wikipedia Interview with Silenoz )
Another thing is the lyrics in the album booklet , they are all written seen in reverse. But have no fear , there is also a mirror inside the album . . .
