Dimmu Borgir Enlist Hellhammer As A Session Drummer For Next Album

Band Photo: Dimmu Borgir (?)
Despite last week's denial by Nuclear Blast that Mayhem's drummer will not be featured on Dimmu Borgir's next album, Silenoz has confirmed that Hellhammer's talents will actually be incorporated in their next release. Here's his statement on the band's forum:
"To get this rumor bullshit out of the way, we confirm that mercenary Hellhammer will be doing the drums for us as a session member on the next album. And that's that."
What's Next?

Well does Hellhammer live in Norway? I know he's been in a ton of Norwegian bands, but I don't think he's Norwegian. Either way I think it's awesome that he's finally getting around to playing drums for Dimmu Borgir. I mean, what Black Metal bands has Hellhammer not played for?

Hellhammer is just going back to what his roots are. NATIONAL SOCIALIST BLACK METAL. Dimmu f***in rocks, and hellhammer would make a great fill in. Black metal will always find a way to exist. viking metal...pfff. FU<K THAT. Real viking metal is Amon amarth. NOT DIMMU. They are new black metal, and that is motherfu<kin that

This message is for fa**otArmy666: You have just shown us all how blind you really are. In case you were not aware the bands you claim are "real metal" dress up like f***ing clowns and are as close to a boyband as you can get without being Backstreet. Do the world a favor and kill yourself before you do something stupid like shooting a metal legend, you Nathan Gale wannabe fa**ot.
As for you HOW DARE YOU, do you play drums? Can you even play a musical instrument? Have you ever heard anything that Hellhammer has played on? Do you think you are a better drummer than him? I know I probably won't get a response from either of you trenders so I will just take satisfaction in that.

...and by the way, black metal is dead...long live black metal. If Hellhammer wants to play for Dimmu Borgir, I think his opinion on whether they are "f***ing crap" is a maybe a little more qualified than your own opinion...so f*** off. If anyone in here claims that Dimmu is "viking metal " again I am gonna go beserk.

WHAT THE f***...yes i can play drum...no , im not better than Hellhammer..i never said i was , your missunderstanding just prove that your an imbecile that take conclusion of things that poeple says without knowing anything of it . I said that he wasn't NATIONNAL SOCIALIST ! My response is clear...your an a$$hole like all others on this sh**ty forum.
AND DIMMU IS FAG MUSIC FOR GOTHIC !!
Don't give a damn if he plays for them , he has played for a lot of band that a dont appreciate .
My respect for him stop at what he did for mayhem before the king got killed

Wow! You can play the drum. Do you mean the drums? Or can you just play A drum.
Which bands has he played for that (a) don't appreciate? Do you mean bands that you don't appreciate? If you are going to argue in English please learn how to speak the language first, but mostly just keep listening to metal.

Hahaha, awesome. It's nice to get a little help and bash these numetal fags once in awhile, especially when the talk sh** in a story about Hellhammer. I think fa**otArmy666 should ask his man behind the kit, Joey Jordison what he thinks of Hellhammer. I guarantee Jordison has major respect for Hellhammer. I saw Jordison fill in for Frost and he did a more than adequate job last winter, while this fa**ot was probably sitting at home listening to Volume 3 and wondering who Satyricon are, Jordison was out destroying with them. I also think that you are 100% correct in your guesses Comrade!

fa**otARMY 666, You're an idiot. Slipknot doesn't give a sh** about you or any of their fans. What they care about is their money. That's why their albums got softer and softer. You're living in a fantacy world if you're still thinking they're hardcore and the music they play is for people like you. They went on TRL and just looked liked idiots trying to make that big preppy money. And now they're singing "pulse of the fa**ots" for Carson Daily. And You're an idiot for comin onto otherbands message boards and dissing the band. Comrade was right, you do act like you're thirteen. And if you're not, i'd really take a long look at yourself, and the crap you're listening to.
Dimmu is the sht!!!!!!!

Nice discussion...yes the kid(fa**otarmy666) is probably thireteen...and he defnitly got the wrong idea about great music...but I think that if you continiue to tell him how dumb he really is...there is a chance he might kill himself when he realizes your right......ah...what tha f***...let him hear it...he will probably kill himself anyway.... have a nice day everybody....

yes my screen name came from a Borgir song Spellbound By The Devil and personally I think these a**holes that know nothing about black metal better keep hanging onto their balls and whining and wishing they new what real talent was...it has nothing to do with the clothes or makeup and if thats all a bands known for thats fckn stupid...listen to borgirs stuff and you'll never go back to the wanna be a metal star BS...oh and btw the music itself comes from ancestral norwegian viking eras so take yer gothic sh*t and stick it! AND just for the record I think Shagrath is fckn HOT hehe (yes I'm female just to clarify lol)
