DIMMU BORGIR

10th album from 2026 by Norwegian DIMMU BORGIR, marking the band's long-awaited return after an eight-year gap since "Eonian". "Grand Serpent Rising" finds the group embracing a darker and more aggressive approach while retaining the majestic orchestral identity that has defined their sound for decades. It is also the first studio album without guitarist Galder since "Spiritual Black Dimensions", opening a new chapter in the band's history.

One of the album's strongest qualities is its renewed emphasis on riff-driven Black Metal and darker atmospheres, balancing symphonic grandeur with a more direct and old-school spirit. Without abandoning their cinematic scope or polished production, DIMMU BORGIR deliver a record that successfully bridges several eras of their career and stands among their strongest releases in many years.
