Dimmu Borgir - In Sorte Diaboli
This is the band's first "concept album", and the title is Latin for "In Direct Contact with Satan." The concept is about a priest that starts to doubt his faith, then takes sides with the Antichrist. The lyrics are well thought out, and I wouldn't consider them extremely offensive.
The music is awesome, especially the guitars. Hellhammer is brilliant on drums as usual. Each track, I really worship! This is one band from Norway that is highly talented and have sold numerous copies since the album's original release in April 2007. Mustis on synthesizer does a great job. However, this album focuses more on guitar, drums and vocals than the group's previous releases. Great vocals by Shagrath and clean vox by I.C.S Vortex.
In Sorte Diaboli is almost as good as Dimmu Borgir's 1997 album 'Enthrone Darkness Triumphant' (1997). That is still my favorite although 'In Sorte Diaboli' is up there, too! The production is awesome thanks to Fredrik Nordstrom and Patrick J. Sten.
This release will not disappoint!
