Pracujú na novej doske a sľubujú veľkolepé veci. Na CD, ktoré vyjde 11. októbra, sa do dnešného dňa podieľalo viac ako 100 hudobníkov. Medzi nimi boli aj členovia nórskych orchestrov a významní skladatelia.

Skladateľ Gaute Storaas: "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 role 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."

Silenoz: "The words that come to mind, if we should even try and attempt at describing [the new material] at this point, would be something like: grand, huge, epic and primal," he said. "It has this eerie and haunting feel to it. Atmosphere and ambience!

"It"s hard to say anything distinct or speak objectively about the new material when you"re in the middle of the writing process — we"re too close to it at this stage — but we"d be lying if we said it"s not good. We"re very confident in the new material and we believe it"ll raise a few eyebrows. We might even have to trim our own!"
