Metal Wani’s editor in chief Owais ‘Vitek’ Nabi had a chat with Silenoz and Shagrath of Norwegian symphonic metal band Dimmu Borgir.
They discuss the upcoming record ‘Eonian’ (Read Our Review Here) after 8 year long years, the thought process behind the album title ‘Eonian’, writing a song like ‘Councel Of Wolves and Snakes’ which is Dimmu Borgir’s most experimental song till date and why this record is a grower and fans need to be patient and give it some time before they can judge the record.
Further they talk about the 8 year long gap, whether they changed some songs over the course of time, why they planned to have live choir on this album along with samples for orchestration and thoughts on self-producing this record as compared to having an outside producer.
They also throw light on upcoming tours planned after summer festivals, their definition of extreme metal in 2018 as compared to early 1990’s and more.
