- Into Eternal Darkness
Recorded in Norway during the cold and grim winter nights of 1994. This is the bootleg issue from 2003 with a different tracklisting
Dimmu Borgir's 1994 EP "Inn I Evighetens Mørke" ("Into Eternal Darkness") offers a blistering auditory journey into their early years. Originally a demo, it became a landmark release for the band, showcasing the raw aggression that would propel them to the forefront of the symphonic black metal movement.
This particular 2003 bootleg issue of the 7" vinyl single presents a fascinating deviation from the official release. The tracklist is altered, focusing solely on the epic and evocative two parts of the title track.
"Inn I Evighetens Mørke" captures a nascent stage in Dimmu Borgir's evolution. Driven by Shagrath's furious drumming and piercing vocals, Silenoz and Tjodalv unleash a relentless torrent of tremolo-picked riffs. Brynjard Tristan's bass rumbles ominously while Stian Aarstad's atmospheric keyboard work shimmers with a chilling beauty.
Despite its demo status, the recording boasts a primal intensity. This bootleg version's focus on the two-part title track amplifies the EP's relentless, hypnotic power. Fans seeking the origins of Dimmu Borgir's later orchestral explorations will find a compelling artifact here, a testament to the band's enduring roots in the bleak beauty of Norwegian black metal.
