Honestly I think it was Shagraths attitude. PEM was great, as were some songs on DCA. However, I do miss the older stuff. Astennu was amazing on the guitar, and Aarstad was so fucking amazing on piano. I think Mustis is incredibly talented too.
It's called moving forward... keep doing what you do even if some betray you or fuck you up. Almost 1 year ago Dimmu returned with an amazing album... what they are singing about is not for the common man... you humans only judge until we will come to judge you... Dimmu is telling you what is really happening around you and they are putting us up to speed with what happened so we can continue our work to usher in the Void. At this point you probably are thinking that I must be crazy or something... well your choice to believe whatever the fuck you want to believe... but we are still doing our thing as warlocks, necromancers and demons. See you soon when we will carry you on the other side or leave you be in the eternal night that is the void. Enjoy your miserable life while it lasts... because this year we WILL end it!
