As they conjure new, dark compositions, Dimmu Borgir take a retrospective look back, celebrating the band's 30th Anniversary and the seminal artists that left a defining imprint on their sound.
Conceived in the heart of the Norwegian black metal scene in 1993, Dimmu Borgir quickly broke free from the boundaries of the genre, daring to combine a traditional raven black sound with opulent symphonic orchestration. They became pioneers within their own field, forging groundbreaking albums such as 'Enthrone Darkness Triumphant' (1997), 'Spiritual Black Dimensions' (1999), & 'Death Cult Armageddon' (2003), invading the entire world with headline tours and eventually turning into the most influential act of their genre after nine full-length studio releases.
After their last two successful albums Abrahadabra and Eonian and the remixed version of 'Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia', Dimmu Borgir herald their 30-year legacy by releasing, together for the first time, a collection of their cover songs. Inspiratio Profanus features a cover of Black Metal (VENOM), the genre-defining Perfect Strangers (DEEP PURPLE), fan favourite Burn In Hell (TWISTED SISTER), and electrifying renditions from the legendary CELTIC FROST, as well as other immensely influential artists!
