by Dimmu Borgir

Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia cover art

Taking symphonic extreme metal to unprecedented levels of theatrical grandeur, Dimmu Borgir enlisted the Gothenburg Opera Orchestra to realize their ambitious vision. 'Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia' features a highly polished, modern production style that perfectly balances the sweeping classical strings with aggressive, precision-driven black metal blast beats. The inclusion of clean vocals from bassist ICS Vortex added a striking melodic counterpoint to Shagrath's demonic snarls.
