Dimmu Borgir will make an entertaining appearance on MTV’s reality series “Battle For Ozzfest” for a full episode airing next Monday, 12/13 at 10:30 PM EST.

While on tour for the successful 2004 Ozzfest our favorite Norwegian Black Metal band spent a full day of controversy and mayhem on MTV’s “Battle For Ozzfest” which became a full episode airing next week December 13th.

If you haven’t been watching the show already you may not know that Dimmu Borgir's "Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse" taken from their acclaimed release "Death Cult Armageddon" (which has currently scanned over 79,000 units) is also the theme music for the whole season’s worth of shows.

For more info, visit MTV's Battle of Ozzfest.

Dimmu Borgir have crushed many metal Black Metal standards with their highly successful "Death Cult Armageddon" such as debuting on the Billboard Top 200 at number 169, receiving multiple “Best Metal Album of the Year” accolades, having two songs featured in the trailer for the highly successful Hellboy movie, their video for "Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse" being voted the 4th "Best Metal of the New Millennium" by fans (nominated by Headbanger's Ball and Revolver) & by being the first Black Metal band invited to perform on the main stage at Ozzfest not to mention their latest accomplishment of having their music as the theme for MTV's newest program "Battle for Ozzfest" which will feature our favorite Black Metallers in a full episode.

Shagrath was so F***ing cool with that a$$hole DJ. I was really mad when that happened here in Cleveland. After they threw Dimmu out, the DJ named Maxwell was encouraging everyone to throw rocks and garbage at the band. He should have been fired for inciting violence like that! Dimmu will never be mainstream don't worry. The so called regular people would be too "afraid" And the vocals are too harsh for the weak minded.
