Dimmu Borgir Premiere New Single & Music Video "As Seen In The Unseen" From New Album "Grand Serpent Rising"

Norwegian symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir have released their first new album in eight years, “Grand Serpent Rising”. Arriving alongside the record is a new music video for the latest focus track, “As Seen In The Unseen,” directed by Dariusz Szermanowicz (Behemoth, Kreator).

While the band offered no additional commentary on the video itself, vocalist Shagrath shared the following thoughts on the album finally being released:

“‘Grand Serpent Rising‘ captures everything Dimmu Borgir has been and become – it’s darker, more brutal, yet melodic and diverse. It sums up all our phases; some songs are heavily inspired by our early years, while others push forward. We’ve made the album more dynamic, with orchestration used more deliberately. The result is a more intense and hard hitting record.”

Adds guitarist Silenoz:

“With ‘Grand Serpent Rising‘, we deliberately revisited the spirit and atmosphere that shaped our identity in the early years. We wanted this album to feel like a journey through ruin, rebirth and transcendence. After all these years, the fire still burns stronger than ever – This album is both a reflection and a new awakening for Dimmu Borgir.”
