the ultimate symphonic black metal masterpiece returns!

 

Originally released in 2003, In Defiance of Existence is widely regarded as the pinnacle of Galder's (Dimmu Borgir) songwriting prowess within Old Man's Child. Recorded at the legendary Studio Fredman with producer Fredrik Nordström, this album defines the "modern" era of melodic black metal, balancing high-speed aggression with intricate, symphonic atmosphere. This reissue brings the "ash-white devil-babe" cover art and the colossal, polished sound back to the masses.
