The greatest metal band I ever heard. And even better live! It’s a crime they weren’t bigger. A band unlike any other. Their shows were mind blowing. This brings it all back. Thank you!
Los gringos de esa epoca acostumbrados al nu metal, debieron pensar que Marilyn Manson era lo mas extremo de ese tiempo junto con Mudvayne, pero Dimmu Borgir les debio perforar la cabeza con su mùsica. Que conciertazo.
Vi a Children of Bodom abriendole a Fear Factory y Lamb Of God en Noviembre de ese año, obviamente yo fui por CoB, muuy pocos sabían quienes eran, muchos desconcertados por el tipo de música que hacían...
@@TheIndustrialRetrospective I saw them most recently in 2019...unfortunately, they don't do much of their older stuff anymore, and Shagrath doesn't headbang like he used to , but it was awesome to see them again. Legends.
I saw them in '04 at Ozzfest; it was so similar that I had to research this video and see if it was the show that I was at. I had front row pit tickets. Honestly it wasn't like seeing a band. It was literally like these creatures that stepped through a vortex, like gods from a different dimension. Mustis' keyboard was shrouded in a black curtain, they were all covered in white paint. It changed my life forever.
Man, I remember Ozzfest 04. I was 15 and had learned about Dimmu Borgir a few months before the show. They put on one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen, and it was seriously disappointing how many people were just sitting in their seats, disengaged entirely. But I was standing up, head banging and throwing up the horns. Never will forget that show. Also my first time seeing Judas Priest/Slayer/Black Sabbath.
@@Darkvisorthey sometimes use fake blood for effect, check their 1998 performance where you can see more clearly. Or he hit himself with his crazy moves hah but i think fake blood is more likely
Sometimes i see people in the comments say that his voice is digitally enhanced or something.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-peQEHz7xC0s.html
Got to see this amazing band 3x in 3 years here in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Never understood why their fan base remained small. The most unique metal band I ever saw. Have never heard anything like these guys before or after. I would put them up against anyone of this genre. The clean vocals are unbelievable! Forget the silly makeup and props and just listen to the power of their musicianship. They play like their instruments are an extension of their arms. A shame they never got the recognition they deserved. I hate the music business.
Shagrath is an egotistical asshole. That's why Mustis and Vortex left because they weren't getting proper recognition for their creative contributions.
Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface And enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect With such bedevilled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Vortex Just absolutely kills it , like fuk there's yor ultimate bass guitarist for any hardcore band of this Magnitude. Dimmu Borgir is forever legendary. Hail Satan.
@@blackmetalerik962 HH is phenomenal and the best for me, but he has already a bunch of important bands to play in, i'd love to see Nick back with them. Although Dimmu changed a lot after In Sorte Diaboli. Nick also is older and stayed inactive for long periods, not sure he can play the Puritanical or DCA stuff like the old days.
@@livingbeing1113: He did a podcast a few months back where the interviewer straight up asked him if he was interested in working with Dimmu again and Nick basically said "That's not up to me, It's Shagrath. He's the boss." If you can find the interview Nick says a lot about Shagrath without saying much at all which is really telling. In the same interview Nick's contributions to Old Man's Child were also brought up and, when asked if he would work with Galder again, Nick basically lit up and said "I'd love to" which, again, is quite telling about his relationship with Shagrath.
Have to take my hat off to Tony Laureano, what a brutal performance by a season drummer. Never understood why he didnt become a permament member after In Sorte Diaboli.
Saw them w/ .Kataklysm , Devildriver & Unearth on my b day, what a show !!! Churning, swirling moshpits , crowd shouting out words, got punched hard in the neck by some tiny chick . Perfect evening out!
That's awesome, I have never seen them. Maybe someday if they tour the us or I can catch them at an international festival with some other bands I want to see.
@@TheIndustrialRetrospective yeah, let's hope they get on the road with a few killer bands again! The good thing is, no one buys music now, so bands are forced to tour .
@@richardkey4289: What? Everyone buys music, bro. If they didn't why would record companies pay bands to make albums? In fact, tours are a double edged sword for many bands because they typically don't make that much money from playing a venue; they make it from selling shirts and CDs (especially in the black metal scene)...
There was a time when this was the most badass metal band in the land and Shagrath was as fierce frontman you could find. Then they ditched ICS and Mustis (Nick barker too if we’re keeping count) and bought fur coats. Filled all the their parts with horrible orchestras and choirs until it sounded like you were listening to two radio stations at once. A cautionary metal tale to be sure.
I think Nick ditched them, lol. He doesn't get tied to a particular band for long before he is onto the next project. But damn he makes this sound so much better.
Saw them on this tour... Wasn't a fan before. But definitely was after seeing them live..... I just remember being so far in the back. But the sound quality and musicianship won me over.... They were flawless during this period.
I discovered Behemoth’s “The Satanist” during the first Rona shut down last year. I went down the rabbit hole. Can’t believe I didn’t pay more attention to these guys during their peak... shameful.
@@rickkline8627 Dude the Satanist is a masterpiece. I had heard of behemoth before that but never really cared for them. The Satanist was my gateway to them. Helped me appreciate a lot of heavier stuff really. Nergal even got me into slipknot.
totally agree. now its oversampled Live with big pauses to play recoridings. losing vortex`s voice and energy and Mustis` symfonic genious was deveastating to their Live performances
Vortex is a badass mf when opening his mouth. This is great. You pretend to be a bass player for huge part of the show, then your part comes to sing and you do it in such a classy way. For me his vocals here sound even better than on records. Gread singer.
I was at this ozzfest I lived like basically down the street dimmu fucking tore it up!!! it was in Selma funny thing is the place they had the ozzfest festival a church bought out the land Pisses me right the hell off there used to be so many cool things there
Sometimes i just return to hear those beautiful Vortex vocals... nowadays they need an orchestra and it still doesn't give the goosebumps as when Vortex does it. It sucks so much that after Puritanical they went to a different direction
Amazing "LIVE" performance....sadly only a small number of San Antonio folks were familiar with Dimmu Borgir. The band were top notch and tight musically and vocally during this tour. After Mustis and Vortex exited..i stop following the band, unfortunately so.
Yeah, Abracadabra was pure garbage and their newest album, Eonian" wasn't as bad, but It's basically impossible to top their earlier stuff. They can keep making music but nothing will top DCA, PEM and even In Sorte Diaboli.
@@Charles_Anthony- Eonian i did purchase...Sorte Diaboli is not bad either...i was at this event...to this day there is only a small community for black metal...many are stuck in Legs Diamond, Scorpions, ACDC, Moxy...i like those bands...but it is always a good thing to expand to other metal genres... 🤘😠🤘
Vortex is great but I just have missed the old shagrath vocal style pre 2003. He had to apparently find a way to preserve his vocals for years to come hense the change to more of a lizard style vocals. He had to find a technique which i totally understand but I still missed his classic style. Here is sort of a hybrid style
Aside from Vortex , the whole band just rips it up in these years much less this concert. As with every band the beginning is rough around the edges a bit , then polished as jewelry grade gold after the first album or five and when the tempo and flow uv the music changes its still gold .
