Dimmu Borgir loses 2 members[views:21320][posts:48]_______________________________ [Sep 1,2009 12:03pm - Pires ""] "Norwegian black metal band Dimmu Borgir has officially confirmed the departures of both Vortex (bass) and Mustis (keyboards). The group has issued the following: "We regret to inform you that we have parted ways with both Vortex and Mustis. However, we do want to make it perfectly clear that the creative force in the band is highly intact, perhaps even more so than ever. With that being said, we're currently working on our next album and are excited to start a new chapter in the legacy that is Dimmu Borgir."" Love 'em or hate 'em, I think the loss of Vortex is going to be a big deal. I loved In Sorte... and even though they're considered hot topic goth BM, I still enjoy them. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 1,2009 12:05pm - aril ""] So where is Vortex going? I could certainly use him in some projects. hahaha |
| _______________________________ [Sep 1,2009 12:06pm - aril ""] VORTEX AND MUSTIS TO EYES OF NOCTUM? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 12:09pm - arktouros ""] I enjoy their huge sound, and they have some great albums. I don't give a shit who wears their shirts...a lot of their keyboard melodies, especially on Enthrone Darkness, sound so much like a happy Disney movie soundtrack it's laughable. They have BM parts but add more clean vocals and you've got Nightwish. |

| ___________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 12:24pm - dreadkill ""] i used to laugh so hard at vortex's vocals on puritanical threeword albumname |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 12:25pm - dreadkill ""] the album he did with arcturus sucked balls, although i liked his previous guest vocals with arcturus. |
| ___________________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 12:26pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] well theres goes the last of my interest in this band |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 12:41pm - boblovesmusic ""] has anyone heard Vortex's work with Lamented Soul? It's great stuff. Epicly doom! |
| ______________________________ [Sep 1,2009 12:47pm - Yeti ""] FuckIsMySignature said:well theres goes the last of my interest in this band seriously. i do like In Sorte Diaboli, but its definitely teetering on the edge of a total collapse. they absolutely sucked balls last time i saw them live. after Galder's last abomination i have no faith that they have any hope left. but i still love the older stuff, and recent stuff. except Stormblast 2, that should be cast into the pit of Carkoon. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 1,2009 12:49pm - Yeti ""] and Shagrath needs to stop half-assing his vocals, he used to roar and shriek like a maniac, then he started doing the Abbath Popeye style and lost his flair. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 1,2009 12:49pm - Yeti ""] i want more Godless Savage Garden sound. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 12:51pm - arktouros ""] So boring live. Was fortunate enough to be at Tuska where they were playing the main stage...and it turns out there are much better things to do in Helsinki. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 1,2009 12:54pm - Yeti ""] they have been hit or miss, but the last few times have been nothing but miss. though one time in like 03 they played one of the best shows ever, and did pretty much exactly the setlist i would choose. they were awesome on the Death Cult Armageddon tour when they lost that fruity spacey look from Puritanical, Shagrath with his dress and frills. homo. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 1:05pm - MetalThursday ""] Vortex back to Borknagar or GTFO |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 1:06pm - MikeOfDecrepitude ""] fuck porknigger |
| ________________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 1:13pm - Conservationist ""] They lost their members long ago, when they decided to become goth "bottom metal" |

| ______________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 1:30pm - boblovesmusic ""] Lamented Soul tour & new album! please! |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 1:36pm - MikeOfDecrepitude ""] I_am_not_me said: I'd rather an Arcturus reunion with Garm on vocals. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 1,2009 1:38pm - aril ""] He don't go by Garm no more, nilla |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 1:40pm - MikeOfDecrepitude ""] I refuse to use his wigger name, so there. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 1:50pm - dreadkill ""] MikeOfDecrepitude said: I_am_not_me said: I'd rather an Arcturus reunion with Garm on vocals. arcturus sucked without garmy |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 1:52pm - boblovesmusic ""] oh come on people! No Lamented Soul takers!? |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 2:14pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] I would be fucking stoked, actually. Love to just hear that record re-recorded with decent production; I have a feeling there's a lot going on there that you can't really hear. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 2:45pm - Sacreligion ""] Am I the only one who's more upset that Mustis is leaving as well? |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 2:52pm - MikeOfDecrepitude ""] Sacreligion said:Am I the only one who's more upset that Mustis is leaving as well? Fuck that, Stian Aarstad was way better. Or at least his style suited their music perfectly at the time. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 1,2009 2:54pm - aril ""] haha, Stian Aarstad. Dude knows how to play arpeggiated chords moar than anyone else |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 2:55pm - Sacreligion ""] Mustis was a composer of fuck though. Some of my favorite Dimmu material is post-SBD because of the full orchestral pieces he would write to accompany the songs(or in some cases, the songs they would write to accompany his compositions). Vortex is definitely a bigger, more noticeable void though. Who the fuck is going to sing Insight and the Catharsis now? |
| ______________________________ [Sep 1,2009 2:59pm - aril ""] They'll find somebody. Just like Cradle of Crap, they'll find people. DYA should tryout. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 3:01pm - Sacreligion ""] They could give Kermit the frog HGH, operatic voice lessons, and have Michael J. Fox control the strings on his fingers... |

| _____________________________ [Sep 1,2009 3:16pm - Yeti ""] Sorgens Kammer was awesome too, way better than that shit song Sorgens Kammer II. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 1,2009 3:18pm - aril ""] and then going into the Norwegian military only to realize he failed at life. him and his tophat, that is. |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 3:19pm - MikeOfDecrepitude ""] TOP HAT FTW |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 3:20pm - Sacreligion ""] I just got this funny image of that dude losing his tophat in war and then hearing a distant cray of "Mister Haaaat! Noooo!" |
| __________________________________________ [Sep 1,2009 3:21pm - MikeOfDecrepitude ""] I believe I had a hat! SUCKERS!!! |
| ______________________________ [Sep 1,2009 3:23pm - aril ""] top hats in black metal haha |

| ________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 8:29pm - sxealex ""] i really like vortex's voice... dont get the haters... he knows how to sing really well as far as im concerned |
| _________________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 8:42pm - MillenialKingdom ""] He's hated because of Dimmu. |
| ________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 9:03pm - MikeOv ""] I don't hate him for being in Dimmu. Old Dimmu is sick; I'm not afraid to admit it. I just like busting his balls for sounding like Kermit on The Archaic Course. His vocals are solid on Evacuation Code Deciphered, which was the only track off Sideshow Symphonies that was actually killer. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 9:05pm - quintessence ""] Dimmu should get Mortiis and his silly Troll outfit for keyboards. Then they can add rave beats. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 2,2009 9:08pm - goatcatalyst ""] F these fruits. |
