Dimmu Borgir is a symphonic black metal band hailing from Jessheim, Norway. Formed in 1993 by Shagrath (Stian Thoresen), Erkekjetter Silenoz (Sven Kopperud), and Tjodalv (Ian Åkesson), the band took its name from an Icelandic term meaning "dark castle/fortress." Known for pushing the boundaries of the black metal genre, Dimmu Borgir incorporates extensive keyboard usage and orchestral/symphonic elements into their music.

Since their breakthrough album "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant" in 1997, Dimmu Borgir has risen to become one of the most prominent extreme metal bands worldwide. Despite changes in their lineup over the years, with only Shagrath, Silenoz, and Galder remaining as permanent members since 2009, they continue to captivate audiences with their intense performances.

The current lineup consists of *Shagrath* on vocals, *Silenoz* on guitars, and *Galder* on guitars. For live shows and recordings, they are joined by session musicians such as Daray on drums since 2008, Gerlioz on keyboards since 2010, and an unnamed bassist who joined in 2018.

As they conjure new, dark compositions, Dimmu Borgir take a retrospective look back, celebrating the band's 30th Anniversary and the seminal artists that left a defining imprint on their sound. Conceived in the heart of the Norwegian black metal scene in 1993, Dimmu Borgir quickly broke free from the boundaries of the genre, daring to combine a traditional raven black sound with opulent symphonic orchestration. They became pioneers within their own field, forging groundbreaking albums such as Enthrone Darkness Triumphant (1997), Spiritual Black Dimensions (1999), & Death Cult Armageddon (2003), invading the entire world with headline tours and eventually turning into the most influential act of their genre after nine full-length studio releases.  Dimmu Borgir herald their 30-year legacy by releasing, together for the first time, a collection of their cover songs. Inspiratio Profanus features a cover of Black Metal (VENOM), the genre-defining Perfect Strangers (DEEP PURPLE), and more!
