Defenders Of The Faith, le forum Metal

After their last two successful albums Abrahadabra and Eonian, Dimmu Borgir herald their 30-year legacy by releasing, together for the first time, a collection of their cover songs. The album, Inspiratio Profanus, is being announced with the release of the thunderous first single, "Black Metal" by the extreme metal pioneers, Venom. Inspiratio Profanus will be released on December 8 via Nuclear Blast Records.

Silenoz comments about the album Inspiratio Profanus: "We’re pleased to announce the Inspiratio Profanus release! We thought it was about time to finally compile the cover songs we’ve done over the years and give these renditions an updated mastering, all in one package, highlighting some of our many influences!"

Silenoz states about the first song, "Black Metal": "'Black Metal', the track, and its origin, features something really primeval, raw and unhinged. There is lawlessness and danger connected to it. We did our best to capture the spirit of the ancient gods’ rock ’n roll 24 years later. Did we do it justice? I think so."

Dimmu Borgir long-time guitarist Galder has decided to part ways with the band. After almost 25 years, Galder has decided to step down to dedicate more time to his other project, Old Man's Child. His final performance with Dimmu Borgir took place this past Saturday at the Dynamo Metal Fest.
