![]() This masterpiece has everything it needs to be a perfect Dimmu song, almost like The Insight and the Catharsis. ![]() Next comes my favorite track off this album, Kings of the Carnival Creation. Blessings Upon the Throne of Tyranny is a fast and brutal song, kind of like Behind the Curtains of the Night - Phantasmagoria from their previous release, but the thing that makes this song at least enjoyable are the guitars at the beginning and the mood that was set by the previous track. The intro is epic, almost like a movie soundtrack (for some reason I think of The Godfather), and is sure to bring shivers down your spine as the second track comes in your speakers. Kind of like Det Nye Riket did with For All Tid. The album begins with Fear and Wonder, a clever symphonic intro, courtesy of Mustis, which sets the mood perfectly for the entire album. Why, Dimmu? Why would you try to copy these guys when you have already created your own atmospheric style with your first 2 releases and then expanded it with Enthrone Darkness Triumphant and Spiritual Black Dimensions? But leaving this aside, let's get to the actual album. But no matter how catchy and quite fantastic a large part of the songs on tthis album are, I cannot get rid of the feeling that they are trying to copy Cradle of Filth at some points (Architecture of a Genocidal Nature, The Malestorm Mephisto, Sympozium). So with this album Dimmu Borgir had entered the new milennium, and from the first two tracks we will notice a departure from their previous style. ![]()
