Dimmu Borgir's next album Abradahabra is probaply years most anticipated album, probaply because of the rather... ahem... curious name. Now, there is now one song leaked out (single?) Gateways. Being impatient ADD person I am I had to take a peek.
And I'm stunned! It is actually not half bad! Not half good either but better than anything in In Sorte Diaboli, and I was expecting something absolutely terrible. Dimmu Borgir has added some variance to their basic formulas. There seems to be more weight on tremolo riffing melodies than before (that I remember anyway) which is nice as I love tremolo, keyboards/orchestra varies from rather Tartaros-like demented atmosphere to very Cradle Of Filthish stuff. I think they have picked some inspiration from CoF otherwise too, yet its still 100% Dimmu Borgir in good and bad (like Shagraths vocal effects. Damnit Shagrath, you have perfectly fine black metal scream! Stop playing with effects!)
I am actually waiting for the next album not just because of the stupid name, but because that leaked song actually shows signs of decent quality. Very curious. Still, I'm not expecting a masterpiece nor should I, Dimmu Borgir has lost it long time ago. And this photo alone is enough to drop my expectations a notch or two.

Its Dimmu Borgir allright... LMAO!
i feel dimmu borgir didnt really hit full stride until mustis showed up, and many of my favorite parts of the songs are vortex's clean vocals, with both of those dudes now out of the band im very wary of the next album...
