Dimmu Borgir: Abrahadabra (2010)
Album Review by Joseph Pipan
Norwegian Symphonic Black Metal band Dimmu Borgir has returned with a vengeance. After the successes of previous albums such as Death Cult Armageddon (2003) and In Sorte Diaboli (2007), expectations were high for the 2010 offering. The band’s newest studio album, Abrahadabra, is a haunting addition to the band’s legend and a fitting “Renewal.” The track list as is follows:
1. Xibir
2. Born Treacherous
3. Gateways
4. Chess with the Abyss
5. Dimmu Borgir
6. Ritualist
7. The Demiurge Molecule
8. A Jewel Traced Through Coal
9. Renewal
10. Endings and Continuations
This music on this album is beautifully haunting, chillingly eerie and well-produced. Symphonic elements are blended seamlessly with black metal style, producing an enjoyably atmospheric symphonic black metal offering. This is true Dimmu Borgir.
