Dimmu Borgir has announced the band's upcoming album will be titled "Abrahadabra." The full cover artwork for the album, which was created by German artist Joachim Luetke, can be viewed now at this location. "Abrahadabra," Dimmu Borgir's ninth studio album, will be released in Germany on September 24th, in the rest of Europe on September 27th, and in North America on October 12th.

In early June, Dimmu Borgir announced a collaboration with Norwegian composer Gaute Storaas in addition to the 51 members of KORK (the Norwegian Radio Orchestra) and the 38-member Schola Cantorum Choir for their new release. To date, over 101 musicians have contributed to the making of the new album.

I don't see what the problem is with the title, just a title i dont think it takes away from the musics sound... sucks that mustis and vortex are gone but i think dimmu borgir can survive without them

The word "abrahadabra" (which roughly translates into "I will create as I speak") first publicly appeared in Chapter III of "Liber AL vel Legis" (commonly referred to as "The Book of Laws" written by Aleister Crowley in Cairo - 1904
The album title has a lot to do with body of work same with the cover art

Kind of a lame title, but I can understand, considering the meaning, why they'd call it that. I don't care for the artwork either, to be honest, but I'm still looking forward to this album very much.

And honestly, I'd piss myself with joy if King played bass on this album, even if it's just a session thing.
