One of Norway’s most creative black metal bands, DIMMU BORGIR, released the groundbreaking album of 2001, “Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia”. The band celebrates this seminal album by releasing a brand-new sonic experience. “Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia (Remixed & Remastered)” will be available on 28 October as a 3 LP Box, CD Digipak and digital. The band is now releasing the rehearsal version of “Puritania”, from the bonus album, “Dust Of Cold Memories” which includes extensive bonus material, the pre-production of “Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia” and instrumental rehearsals.
Conceived in the heart of the Norwegian Black Metal scene in 1993, DIMMU BORGIR quickly broke free from the boundaries of the genre, daring to combine a traditional raven black sound with opulent symphonic orchestration. Soon they turned into pioneers of their field, forging groundbreaking albums such as “Enthrone Darkness Triumphant” (1997), “Spiritual Black Dimensions” (1999), or “Death Cult Armageddon (2003)”, invading the entire world with headline tours and eventually turning into the most influential act of their genre after nine full-length studio releases. After their last two successful albums “Abrahadabra” and “Eonian”, new music from DIMMU BORGIR follows with their remixed & remastered version of “Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia” which was originally released in 2001.
Two weeks ago, DIMMU BORGIR also released their album “Northern Forces Over Wacken” which was originally available on the “Forces Of The Northern Night” DVD, on a range of limited edition vinyl avialable via Nuclear Blast.
