Dimmu Borgir onthult nieuw album titel en releasedatum

Dimmu Borgir onthulde de titel van hun nieuw album alsook wanneer het te verkrijgen is.

Zeven jaar lang hebben we moeten wachten, maar het nieuwe album genaamd Eonian zal op 4 mei te verkrijgen zijn. De plaat komt uit onder Nuclear Blast en zal tien nummers bevatten, opgenomen in de studio van Jens Borgren in Zweden.

Uitleg over de naam: Eonian follows a philosophical concept, dealing with the illusion of time:

"Time, when not approaching it from the construct we're used to can't be defined and thus it is illusory", explains axemaster Silenoz. "There's only an 'eternal now', which the album title is already hinting at. When we travel between the worlds seen and unseen, the perception of time ceases to exist, it has no function. Our energy is our torch and our compass when we make rifts and pierce through the veil - when we go beyond."

Vocalist Shagrath adds: "Eonian represents the illusion of time, everything that is and always has been. For us, it also marks the 25th anniversary of DIMMU BORGIR and the album itself is a tribute to our own history and the Norwegian black metal history."

Op 23 februari verschijnt alvast de single Interdimensional Summit als 7" vinyl.
