My daughter came home absolutely buzzing from this gig, along with a signed guitar pick from Silenoz. A small venue but that's what made it better. Stood right in front of Shagrath, she loved it!

The gig was fantastic, It's great to see a band that can still play as well as they did so many years ago, They haven't lost their touch one bit, awesome show, and when they come round to Birmingham again I will attend every time.

The band played very well, great stage set & lighting, However i think the mix/sound could have been alot clearer. A friend i met there plays similar stuff talked to the sound guy & the guitars came out a little better 1/2 way through the gig, but still not crystal.

Favourite moment: The rendition of Raabjorn Speiler Draugheimens Skodde. @
Posted 26/11/2011

The Forces of the northern night descended upon the intimate crowd of dedicated metalheads in Islington with queues snaking all around the shopping centre in which it is located. 5 minutes early, the light dimmed and the eerie intro created an intense atmosphere of tension and excitement. With raised horns and pumping fists, the newer members of the band creep onto the stage accompanied by the welcoming roars of the audience, and then the tiny venue raised the roof with the arrival of the old guns Galder, Silenoz and Shagrath.
The band then, without hesitation thundered into "Mourning Palace" with a spine-tingling scream from Shagrath. It struck me immediately however that the band looked tired after a long tour and the volume was suprisingly low for a band of such indisputable power; so much so that my screams of the lyrics could easily be heard over the instruments, and the ringing in my ears after the gig stopped within only a few hours. They then played their entire 1997 opus "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant" in its entirity, as voted for by the public. Without doubt, it was great to hear the classics again, but one was left with the impression that it somehow lacked the burning fire of the earlier ninties perforamances; which I may add is completely understandable for a band who have been going for almost 20 years. I mean, look at how quickly bands such as Avenged Sevenfold lost their lustre and energy.
Despite this, the songs "Relinquishment of spirit and flesh," and "Prudence's fall" were played with technical brilliance and perfection, sparking numerous pits in the audeince, (which I got destroyed in; a good sign of course). They then proceeded to add the cherry on top of the cake and played a rendition of "Raabjorn Speiler Draugheimens Skodde," the "extra" track of the album which went down superbly.
After the last note resonated across the audience, the crowd were then treated to a lengthy interlude and a drum solo from the new drummer (whose name I do not know). Then just after the last set had faded, an entirely new set commenced with the explosion of "Vrdesbyrd [sic]" and then the seminal "Kings Of The Carnival Creation." Unfortunately, having seen them before in 2009, I had to say that their renditions of these songs in the past have been a lot more powerful and pulsating. After this, they played 3 songs from their most recent album "Abrahadabra." These songs were in my opinion played with a lot more passion and confidence than the older songs and it was apparent that the band preferred the newer stuff as a whole - which is entirely understandable as they have had several line up changes in the past 10 years.
The set came to a dramatic conclusion with the renditions of "Puritania," "The Serpentine Offering" and finally "Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse." Which were very well received by the audience, as they are 3 true classics of the symphonic metal epoch.
Although the band were maybe not perfect in their execution of their set, at the end of the day, its Dimmu Borgir, and with such an immaculate back-catalogue and history, you know that the show is going to be unforgettable and electrifying. One could almost say that even if they had played the show drunk, tired and with no enthusiasm, they still would have torn apart the whole of North east London with ease. I would definitely like to see them again, fingers crossed for a few festivals in the summer!

The band had an amazing live show better than other previous gigs.
The unique negative thing was the venue that was crowded and was difficult to look at the stage.

Fantastic gig. Have not looked forward to a gig this much in a long time. Would love to see Dimmu again, and although the 'clean' vocals were not as good as have past been, I still loved this gig!!!

It was a great gig! I went only to see Enslaved (one of the support bands). It was so good to finally see this legendary band live. Great, great, great!

I was a bit sceptical about the new Dimmu Borgir lineup as now only 3 members remain, and especially after listening to the new single Gateways with the female singers voice not being the best.
But my doubts were unfounded as the band tore through mostly their back catalogue with no female voices to be heard. A great gig and just a shame its their only UK date.

I was very disappointed as a fan with the song choice. I knew they've made a new album but there was nothing from the good old hits so I left after the 7th song because I couldn't stand it anymore. Seems that since Vortex and Mustis are gone, the good Dimmu Borgir is gone. Didn't like it at all.

We went purely to see Sahg, whose debut album 'Sahg I' is one of the best of the last decade. And they did not disappoint, from the opening chords of Godless Faith through to the last notes of Pyromancer.
Enslaved weren't half bad either.
Had to leave before the end of Dimmu, but they put in an almighty performance on the night.
Long live the Dark Wave of Norweigan Brown Metal!!

Any fan of Dimmu must go and see these guys in action ......they don't come to the uk and do a gig very often, but when they do its a must see band. Shagrath was absolutely superb and proved himself a very sucessful front man. They played new stuff and old stuff which made for a brilliant mix of music. The lighting for the show was immense. If these guys ever come back to the uk ... I will definitely be buying my ticket. All in all these guys ROCKED........
