It's a great song, it has that "epic" feel to it that makes Dimmu great for me.

The only thing that sucks is that ICS Vortex isn't singing the backing vocals... Or so I thought, ran into a nice little video yesterday where they changed the pitch a bit and I have to say it sounds an awful lot like him.

IMO if this is the case they should come clean about it and give us all a version of the track(s) where he sings without his voice transformed into that of a girl.

I WANT VORTEX AND MUSTIS BACK!!!
That version of Dimmu was pure magic.
This new song is good but if that chick sings on every song I'm not buying the cd.

HOLY CRAP!!!
NOW the song rules.
They (dimmu) totally owe Vortex.
CHANGE THE VOCALS BACK DAMN IT!!!
Sorry but without Vortex there is no Dimmu.
If they don't pay him royalties I hope he sues big time!!!

Agreed, it's much better with the backing vocals the original way like in that link you posted.

Holy sh!t! Its a conspiracy with the voice manipulation! This song definitely delivers more power with Vortex's original voice. Hopefully this will catch on and Shagrath can come clean about this blasphemous move, and possibly rework it to appear on the album!

.... Just heard the ICS Vortex (original) version and i am p***ed they tried to pull this crap. The altered voice sounded like crap since the first time i heard the song and now i know why. They should have left it they way it was intended to be, or got rid of his vocals all together. I'm sure we'll hear more of that crap on other songs. Those F*ckers.

You guys are retarded. No band would EVER try pulling this, it's so easy to catch. The singer is Agnete Kjølsrud from Animal Alpha.... Nice try though. Listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=mgONxte8ZwE&feature=related

Holy crap! BrianMN and ps-gunkie - wholeheartedly agree! Ditch the old chick (or just leave her on witch screams) and bring back ISC Vortex, and the sound would RULE!
