Album Reviews
Dimmu Borgir achieves a sonic alchemy that flawlessly blends a sinister and darker approach on its long-awaited album “Grand Serpent Rising”. The Norwegian gods foray into a bombastic and triumphant majesty that resonates with the past studio albums and is the best-sounding album since “Death Cult Armageddon” according to our reviewer. Out via Nuclear Blast Records next week Friday on May 22nd.
