Formed in 1993 in the heart of the Norwegian black metal scene, DIMMU BORGIR quickly broke out of the confines of the genre and dared to combine the traditional raven black sound with opulent symphonic orchestration. They soon became pioneers in their field, forging groundbreaking albums such as Enthrone Darkness Triumphant (1997), Spiritual Black Dimensions (1999) and Death Cult Armageddon (2003), taking the world by storm with headlining tours and, with ten full-length studio albums to their name, are one of the most influential bands in their genre.
