Dimmu Borgir have boosted the role of the symphony in their latest album, titled 'ABRAHADABRA'. The result is epic, a perfect blend of metal and orchestra.
Forget Metallica or Kiss with a symphony, entertaining as they may have been, on this album these two different styles are blended together so well and compliment each other throughout.
Here is a clip of the orchestra playing the song 'Gateways' and the album version below.
The iTunes edition of the album inlcudes 2 bonus orchestra only tracks! There is also a limited edition of the album which includes a book and bonus track. It will be released in the US on Oct 12th and is out now Australia.
Dimmu Borgir will the play Soundwave Festival in Australia in 2011.
