DIMMU BORGIR - Neues Album in Arbeit
Mi., 02.06.2010 - 08:02 Uhr
Die norwegische Black Metal Band arbeitet aktuell an einem neuen Longplayer und hat sich nun Komponist Gaute Storaas (Berklee College of Music summa cum laude alumnus) mit ins Boot geholt. Des Weiteren wird das norwegische Radio Orchester KORK sowie der Schola Cantorum Choir mit seinen 38 Mitglieder am Album mitwirken.
Das bisher noch unbetitelte neunte Album der Band wird am 08. Oktober in Deutschland erscheinen, ab 11. Oktober dann europaweit und ab 12. Oktober in Nord Amerika.
Komponist Gaute Storaas schreibt über die Zusammenarbeit:
"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."
