DIMMU BORGIR - Abrahadabra (27/09)

Pingouin · Jean-Pierre Elkathrash Inscrit le: 15 Jan 2010 Messages: 5306

Les Blackeux Symphos ont fait appel à un arrangeur, un orchestre et une chorale. En tout, plus de 100 musiciens extérieurs sont impliqués.
Les voir communiquer uniquement là-dessus, c'est pas rassurant. Ca sent le cache-misère.

Norwegian symphonic black metallers DIMMU BORGIR have announced their collaboration with Norwegian composer and Berklee College of Music former student Gaute Storaas, the 51 member KORK (the Norwegian Radio Orchestra) and the 38-member Schola Cantorum Choir for the band's as-yet-untitled new album.
To date, over 100 musicians have lent their talents to the making of the CD.

Composer Gaute Storaas shares some insight on what it's like to work with DIMMU BORGIR: "There have been several attempts of dressing up rock bands in suits, bow ties and symphonic splendor, to various degrees of success. Working with DIMMU BORGIR is quite different. Their music is epic, thematic and symphonic already from the creation; they are clearly having an orchestral approach to composing. My rôle in this is sometimes just to transcribe their themes, sometimes to take their ideas, tear them apart and build them back up in ways that are true to the band's intentions. The music must also be both interesting and playable for the musicians, and hopefully, meet the quality standards of the orchestral world."

DIMMU BORGIR's ninth studio album will be released in Germany on October 8, in the rest of Europe on October 11, and in North America on October 12 via Nuclear Blast Records.

C'est rigolo qu'ils fassent appel à un compositeur/arrangeur après le départ de Mustis. lol

Sven

Z'ont toujours recruté personne?
Bon, on verra bien...

Oui tiens, c'est ce que je me disais, avant ils n'avaient besoin de personne pour les arrangements orchestraux ...

Sinon ils reviennent à un orchestre après avoir délibérément fait un album simple sur le précédent, pour revenir aux claviers car dixit eux-mêmes "ce que compose Mustis aux claviers c'est mieux que l'orchestre" ou pas loin du genre.

En gros, je ne suis pas du tout impatient. Je suis bien sûr ouvert à la bonne suprise, mais faut pas rêver. Dimmu a sa carrière derrière lui désormais. 17 ans qu'ils sont là quand même.

Une rumeur prétendant que Snowy Shaw (THERION, DREAM EVIL, NOTRE DAME...) serait le nouveau bassiste et chanteur clair de DIMMU BORGIR a été démentie par l'intéréssé lui-même, qualifiant au passage la rumeur de "fausse et infondée, sans aucune substance". Le nouvel album des norvégiens sortira le 27 Septembre prochain sous la bannière de Nuclear Blast, et le line-up complet n'est toujours pas connu (ou annoncé).

Vu que Shaw vient de quitter Therion, chante très bien et joue de tous les instruments dont la basse, c'était pas con comme idée. Dommage.

C'est bien relou qu'il quitte Therion, d'ailleurs... C'est une vraie bête de scène!

C'est vraiment LUI qui avait redonné un souffle à Therion je pense. Dans Dimmu il aurait perdu toute crédibilité.

"Norwegian symphonic black metallers DIMMU BORGIR have set "Abrahadabra" as the title of their ninth studio album, which will be released in Germany on September 24, in the rest of Europe on September 27, and in North America on October 12 via Nuclear Blast Records.

The word "abrahadabra" (which roughly translates into "I will create as I speak") first publicly appeared in Chapter III of "Liber AL vel Legis" (commonly referred to as "The Book of the Law") written by Aleister Crowley in Cairo, Egypt in 1904.

DIMMU BORGIR singer/songwriter Shagrath shares the following about the new album: "After eleven months of total focus, dedication and professional team work, Darkness has been reborn. Some people have expressed their concern about the future of the band since the departure of some members of the clan. Let me assure you that things happen for a reason.
With the mixture of our different musical preferences and the personalities involved, I will dare to say we have created a BEAST, the most detailed work to date out of our 17 years of existence. I know it's too much of a cliché to brag when you have a done a new album, but to put it short and simple, it's a fist in the face to all the doubters out there. Forward – Onward – March… ENTER THE SUPREME UNKNOWN."

When asked about the central figure in the artwork and who/what he's supposed to represent, artist Joachim Luetke responds: "I think that's obvious. Since the whole 'setting' is located in an icy, bleak, winter-y, post-industrial era, we're pretty close to H.P. Lovecraft's nameless elder gods. They're represented by the mask's tentacles. In short: the mask/face personifies dominion of powers far beyond mankind. The nameless gods witnessed the birth of our universe and they'll watch it implode. To them, the age of mankind is but a blink of an eye."
