DIMMU BORGIR are scheduled to enter Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden on March 3 to begin tracking the drum parts for their forthcoming CD, due later in the year. According to guitarist Silenoz, "All the new material is ready and we have also mastered our own pre-production and it sounds awesome in our ears. We rehearse like we are possessed every day and will continue to do so until we go into studio.

"There haven't been decided any album title, but we are working on it. As you may have heard before we are having a huge orchestra in studio with us and at the moment we are negotiating with two big east European orchestras, nothing is decided yet."

Among the tracks set to appear on the album are the following:

01. Allegiance
02. Cataclysm Children
03. Progenies of The Great Apocalypse
04. His Inexorable Excellency

Dimmu Borgir will hit studio in early March 2003 and they expect they will use about 2 months in the studio recording the new album. They have already 9 songs ready and they will write additional 2-3 songs before they start recording. They start rehearsing the new songs in january 2003. Album will be hotter than hell with a big orchestra, surprises and the usual quality that can be expect from Dimmu Borgir.

Norway’s kings of the carnival creation return for the second leg of their North American Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia tour. Dimmu Borgir will headline a truly international bill of brutal extreme metal rounded out by Canada’s Cryptopsy, Brazil’s Krisiun and America’s Diabolic. After the success of the Spring Neck Break tour last April with Cannibal Corpse, The Haunted and Lamb of God, Dimmu Borgir now prepares to embark on their first rampage through the U.S. and Canada as a full-fledged headliner. The band’s latest CD, Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, brought together some of black metal’s finest musicians – including Nick Barker (drums, ex-Cradle of Filth), Vortex (bass/vocals, ex-Borknagar) and Galder (guitar, Old Man’s Child) – resulting in the band’s most successful release to date. Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia pulled back the shroud on the black metal underground, allowing the mainstream to gaze upon the bastard offspring and its veiled mysteries. This latest tour will only serve to further expose more of the mainstream music scene to Dimmu Borgir’s infectious and catchy brand of black metal, poising the band to emerge as a true musical force beyond the confines of the underground.

In regard to the upcoming DVD, Silenoz had this to say, "We've gone through 15 of our own tapes so far and to be honest there is some really sick shit on there, and when I say that, we already have censored a lot... Well, I guess you get the picture!" Dimmu will also have a shaped EP, entitled Alive in Torment, available on February 5th. This limited edition disc contains live versions of "Tormentor of Christian Souls," "The Blazing Monoliths of Defiance," "The Insight and the Catharsis," "Puritania" and "The Maelstrom Mephisto" recorded in Stuttgart, Germany on the Purtanical tour.

Norwegian black metallers DIMMU BORGIR will be issuing a limited-edition live EP, entitled Alive in Torment, in February to coincide with the band’s second US tour in support of Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia. Recorded in Stuttgart, Germany on the Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia tour, Alive In Torment features five live tracks that guitarist Silenoz describes as “extremely raw and brutal, straight in the face, no power ballads.” The shaped CD was mixed by Peter Tägtgren at Abyss Studios. In other DIMMU news, the band is working on a DVD called World Misanthropy for an April release. According to Silenoz, “[It] contains lots of live stuff from around the globe, interviews, backst(abbing)age clips, all crazy shit.” The DVD will also feature at least four promo video clips and possibly contain a second disc featuring tracks from Spiritual Black Dimensions and Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, previously only released in Japan.
