DIMMU BORGIR - Stormblåst LP & 7" (Black Vinyl)

Now this is how you do a re-recording! I often view this album as the optimal way to re-record an album. It made sense for the Dimmu fellas to re-record their classic from 1996, since they have gone through quite some change since their early days, and it's therefore quite entertaining to see old material played in the style of newer Dimmu Borgir.

The rewritten synth is an improvement, for the most part. Production wise, it's much better than the on the original, it sounds orchestral, and makes the album sound majestic and epic. The writing usually consists of fairly simple melodies, that when layered with the guitar, creates a great, symphonic atmosphere.
