Dimmu BorgirAs they conjure new, dark compositions, DIMMU BORGIR take a retrospective look back, celebrating the band's 30th Anniversary and the seminal artists that left a defining imprint on their sound.
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. They became pioneers within their own field, forging groundbreaking albums such as Enthrone Darkness Triumphant (1997), Spiritual Black Dimensions (1999), & 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 and the remixed version of Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, DIMMU BORGIR herald their 30-year legacy by releasing, together for the first time, a collection of their cover songs. Inspiratio Profanus features a cover of Black Metal (VENOM), the genre-defining Perfect Strangers (DEEP PURPLE), fan favourite Burn In Hell (TWISTED SISTER), and electrifying renditions from the legendary CELTIC FROST, as well as other immensely influential artists!

HypocrisyVomitory was formed in 1989 by original guitarist Urban Gustafsson and bass player Ronnie Olson. Under influence of the growing underground scene and bands such as Sodom, Napalm Death, Slayer and Venom, their sound developed quite soon into pure death metal. During the early '90's they spread their name in the worldwide underground scene by releasing some demos and a vinyl 7".
In the mid-'90's when the death metal scene began to stagnate, and while all "brutal" bands split up or changed their style drastically, Vomitory released their debut full-length death metal explosion, "Raped In Their Own Blood", in November 1996 on the Dutch indie label Fadeless records. It was greeted with great respect within the underground scene.
Vomitory allways show that they still stick to their brutal style of death metal and never follow any trends. -
