Who said Dimmu Borgir is battle metal?

[Malephar]

One of my mates. He used to be heavily into Dimmu, Cradle, Satyricon etc. but has now given it all up in favour of Ozzy, Black Label Society, Jimi Hendrix sort of thing.

Jimi Hendrix is better than Dimmu and Cradle.

From what I've heard of their's, I like Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia best. I like Galder's guitar work, especially in Old Man's Child.

I have started listening to Dimmu Borgir again and I quite like it but still there are far better.

Well i have to love them.. After all, Dimmu is the Black Metal band i first discovered.

I listen to the songs with norwegian lyrics (so i´m not a big fan of In Sorte Diaboli). But after Nick Barker (or what the fuck his name is) they became so fuckin mainstream. But Hellhammer saved them haha!

Go and listen to 'All Along The Watchtower' by Jimi Hendrix, it should change your mind.

Dimmu were good with the first few albums, but now, i just cant bare to listen to them at all, although i did see them live about two years back now, they did wow me whilst on stage, which shocked me..
