Dimmu Borgir, proximo dvd "Forces Of The Northern Night"

Los Noruegos Dimmu Borgir se encuentran ultimando la edición de su nuevo dvd "Forces Of The Northern Night" grabado el pasado 28 de mayo, el grupo actuó en el Oslo Spektrum de Oslo, Noruega, con la Orquesta de la Radio Noruega (KORK) compuesta por 53 músicos y por el coro Shola Cantorum de 30 miembros.

El concierto fue emitido (parcialmente) en Junio en un documental de la cadena NRK Noruega. Como consecuencia esta siendo distribuido por la red un falso dvd de "Forces Of The Northern Night" con los temas que se emitieron en el documental. La banda ha declarado en su pagina de Facebook oficial:

Nos hemos dado cuenta de que diferentes versiones piratas del show de Oslo del pasado año "Forces Of The Northern Night" están en circulación y que también ha sido falsamente anunciada su venta en varios sitios de en la red. Podemos asegurar a todos los fans impacientes que esto no es nada más que cosas filmadas por el público o en el mejor de los casos imágenes tomadas de la emisión de televisión NRK en muy baja calidad.

Todavía estamos trabajando en el Dvd (la fecha de lanzamiento será anunciada) y, por supuesto, consiste en el setlist completo, incluyendo documentales y material extra, etc .. No sólo eso, sino que el sonido ha sido completamente remezclado y mejorado desde la emisión en TV y las imágenes también se han re-editado. Sólo queremos que ustedes lo sepan antes de decidir en gastar su dinero en algo que es falso y que no es un Dvd oficial de Dimmu Borgir."

El set list interpretado fue el siguiente:
01 - Xibir
02 - Born Treacherous
03 - Gateways
04 - Dimmu Borgir (oquestal)
05 - Dimmu Borgir
06 - Ritualist
07 - A Jewel Traced Through Coal
08 - Eradication Instincts Defined (orquestal)

2017-01-11 - Norwegian symphonic black metal giants, DIMMU BORGIR, finally emerge from the depths of darkness, to mark 2017 as the year of their monumental return. On April 14th, they will finally release their highly-anticipated DVD »Forces Of The Northern Night«, containing two of the band's live rituals: Their legendary show in Oslo, showing DIMMU BORGIR on stage with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra and a bombastic choir, as well as the entire performance at Wacken Open Air 2012 with almost 100 musicians on stage. Both concerts present a spectacular sound scenario of raging black metal in front of an epic orchestral landscape and the band's unique visuals.

This authentic combination of the beauty and the beast has long seemed like a natural evolution for fans, but much time, arrangements and commitment were necessary to put this gigantic production into reality and fill the stage with 90 minutes of mindblowing sets per night. The shows guide the fans through classics from the band's discography - from the majestic finisher 'Mourning Palace' to the stomping manifesto 'Puritania' and the haunting 'Gateways'... Norway's DIMMU BORGIR know how to leave nothing behind but pure ashes.

"For us, this is the pinnacle of our career so far. As a band, we've always used a lot of symphonic elements in our music. But we haven't been able to use a real orchestra. We've had to use samples, synthesisers and so on, so this was a huge, awesome experience for us!", states front man Shagrath.

On April 14th, both concert plus a bonus documentary feature will be available in many different formats that will soon be revealed.

And beware... this is not the only gem that the year 2017 holds for DIMMU BORGIR.
