DIMMU BORGIR – THE GRAND SERPENT RISING

The long silence is finally broken. DIMMU BORGIR return to claim their throne with thirteen punishing and remarkably diverse tracks under the banner "Grand Serpent Rising", arriving on May 22, 2026. This release is more than just an album; it’s a statement of power and evolution.

 

As Silenoz explains, the serpent represents renewal and liberation. The shedding of old skin to reveal something even more formidable. This energy is felt immediately: from the ominous intro ‘Tridentium’ to the lightning-strike aggression of ‘Ascent’, the record proves that Dimmu Borgir have lost none of their vicious intensity. It is a majestic journey that bridges the feral energy of the early '90s Norwegian black metal underground with the refined compositional mastery they’ve forged over three decades.
