Norwegian symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir have entered Studio Fredman with producer Fredrik Nordström to begin recording their new album for an early 2007 release via Nuclear Blast Records. Guitarist Silenoz issued the following statement:

"So, just to let you know, everything moves along nicely in the studio, perhaps a bit too well?? With past studio ghost experiences in mind, something is just bound to happen? I'm sure of it. Well, apart from being the typical pessimist, at least it didn't take us too long to get all the basic rhythm guitar tracks down and even better - it sounds awesome! A fat and razor-sharp tone, without compromise, hitting you right between the eyes! Proper equipment, Engl amps, ESP guitars and Seymour Duncan pickups make things hell of a lot easier, I say. Leads/solos and acoustic/clean guitars will be laid down later when everything else is ready. Bass and keys are up next. We expect it to sound nothing less than grandiose once this beast is finished. Oh, yeah, almost forgot, we have the album title as well, but we're not gonna announce it until the time is right!"

PEM is the album to compare all Dimmu works against...Hope they can match it or set a new standard.

Agreed with RememberMetal?......Ever since listening to the orchestration fade into the second track mindf*** that is Blessings...I've been hooked. I was given the album on Easter sunday years ago..

Is Hellhammer going to be touring/become a permanent member with Dimmu, or will they be working out something with another drummer?

I'm most curious about the drumming and vocals....

I was a bit let down by Shaggrath and actually Vortex on DCA...Shaggrath because he stuck to one style of vocals to often rather than splitting the difference between his many voices/distortions...While Vortex was very...absent.

Meanwhile, Hellhammer will likely be the bands not-so-secret weapon this time out. The drums are one aspect of this record that can in no way fail.

Silenoz and Galder need to be a pinch higher in the mix than they were in DCA too.
