Dimmu Borgir – Abrahadabra

Review# 170

Abrahadabra is a new peak for Dimmu Borgir. They have refined the orchestral sound of their music and it is now perfectly fused with Black Metal. The sound of the choir and orchestra backing up Shagrath's vocal lines as well as the rest of the band is awesome. This time around the band worked with the orchestra as they wrote the album instead of sending the complete album through for it to be scored. This gives it a much more organic and natural flow. Dimmu recently performed this album in a special live show in Norway with a full orchestra, I am hoping that gets made into a dvd as that would be amazing to watch.
