Norwegian symphonic black metal legends Dimmu Borgir have unleashed their new video single “As Seen in the Unseen,” taken from the band’s newly released full-length album, Grand Serpent Rising, out now through Nuclear Blast.
Vocalist Stian “Shagrath” Thoresen comments on the album release, “Grand Serpent Rising captures everything Dimmu Borgir has been and become – it’s darker, more brutal, yet melodic and diverse. It sums up all our phases; some songs are heavily inspired by our early years, while others push forward. We’ve made the album more dynamic, with orchestration used more deliberately. The result is a more intense and hard hitting record.”
Guitarist Sven “Silenoz” Kopperud adds, “With Grand Serpent Rising, we deliberately revisited the spirit and atmosphere that shaped our identity in the early years. We wanted this album to feel like a journey through ruin, rebirth and transcendence. After all these years, the fire still burns stronger than ever – This album is both a reflection and a new awakening for Dimmu Borgir.”
