I'm a sound engineer for live bands. The production and the mix are amazing. Festivals are horribles ( in terms of times of soundchecks, production and problems that you have to solve the quickest way). It's always hard to get the sound you want, specially with this many musics on stage and with big PA's. It sounds crystal. You can hear any instrument. The double bass sounds amazing as the guitars. Really amazing job from the sound producers and live engineers. Even if you are not into metal, you have to admit and admire the hard work from all the people who worked on this. Every single man and woman behind this did their work excellent.
50yo and still playing heavy metal…+ my nephew say I’m more cool than your friends… she’s 18 and all her friends come to my concerts. Her male friends try to walk in our footprints, but they lost the ages of real rock…growing with rap, trap, or s**t like that… stay metal Sergio!
@@JaketheJedi23 Don't bother.... she's fucking awful. Working with Dimmu Borgir is the only thing she's done worth listening to.... Very disappointing.
Ah man, that is still one of the best (and certainly most impressive) shows I've seen in my life. The fact that they performed with choir and orchestra AT A FESTIVAL... I'm getting goosebumps all over again.
The Oslo Performance was better in my opinion, mainly because the stage didn’t looked crowded like here. Still a great performance overall though 🤘🖤🤘 I’ve still got to pick up Forces Of The Northern Lights 🤘
@@blazeweber How they managed to utilise that space was pretty impressive. I guess sometimes watching his performance over and over I feel claustrophobic and yet I’m not claustrophobic. I’ve always appreciated the orchestra/choir In terms of how it is utilised, it gives gateways a lot more theatrical grandeur with a live orchestra. I say that is somebody who has a big thing for symphonic metal. I felt relieved eight years after Abrahadabra The next album was damn good. I also have a personal relationship with gateways from the perspective of this was my first foray into Dimmu Borgir in the first place at the age of 24 back in 2010.
The sound/mix in this is absolutely amazing! Dimmu Borgir tend to be difficult and festivals are the worst place for bands with more demanding music anyways ... So for this to sound this good, everyone had had to bring their A game. Good stuff, props to everyone involved, from band itself to sound engineers and technicians!
Recorded from the board, produced in a studio setting at a later date. I can guarantee you this is not the same mix that the audience was hearing. I've been to shows where the live mix sounded awful but the recording sounded flawless.
@@officialmetalwill Thats exactly it. I also run live sound sometimes and MIXING LIVE vs MIXING THE RECORDED MULTITRACKS are two different things. Often the multitracks are 95% similar to mix to an actual studio recording.
Fucking spectacular. Dimmu is one of the greatest metal bands of all time. I’m not a black metal fan typically, but this isn’t black metal. This is just amazing, Norwegian heavy music. Shagrath is an amazing person; both on and off stage. Anyone who follows him on the Gram knows this. He is the ultimate dad. He is constantly posting pictures of him with his kids. His daughter has him wrapped around her little finger, and it’s so fucking cool. Huge fuck yeah to that.
No joke, i literally cried when seeing that video! I discovered Dimmu Borgir in late middle school, but i saw that video just now in 2024. I can assure that Agnete Kjølsrud is my absolute favourite female singer, she's beyond what my mind can process!!! Thank you for this masterpiece!! ❤

This Is So Incredible Awesome..The Vocals Music Lyrics With Amazing Dimmu Borgir.. Together With The Fantastic Orchestra, Their Music Singing Together With Dimmu Borgir Is Awesome Beautiful Brilliant Excellent Best Live With Dimmu Borgir I've Ever Seen In Life
Agnete is a boss. Wish they’d use her again for another song. I remember how hard this album was critiqued when it was released, and now it’s regarded as a classic DB album
Probably because there were a lot of particularly melodic bits and female vocals, not to mention that their outfits for the album were white (which pretty much confirmed for me that the black metal community can be seriously petty and stupid sometimes)
Older Dimmu fans needed time to come around to it, and newer Dimmu fans started appearing afterwards as well. Now a new kind of community has formed that appreciates the album for what it is, and it IS great.
This song (and more specifically, this particular version of it) legit moves me to tears everytime I hear it. So many truths spoken along with the impeccable delivery just moves me like nothing else... a true "spiritual" experience 🖤
As much as I love this song and these live performances, I am totally ready for something new from Dimmu Borgir. It's been too long since they have done something fresh.
@@mike0near She is mostly famous from "Animal Alpha" 20 years ago. Later "Djerv". Both Norwegian bands. Later "Riot Games" in USA headhunted her to sing "Get Jinxed" viewed by over 100 millions. Her most viewed song ever.
Incredible song, for the lyrics, the role of the singers, the music. Goosebumps! Incroyable chanson, pour les paroles, le rôle que jouent les deux chanteurs, la musique. Des frissons à chaque fois !!
I have a weakness for choirs and violins, cellos, this song is one of the ones that makes me feel this euphoria the most. Those chills with each verse, it's perfect.
This was probably so god damn cool live. I've only seen Dimmu Borgir once in Chicago, after 20 years of listening lol. I missed them in New Orleans in 2005 with Nick Barker and ICS vortex, they've since entered a new era musically. But, this show is incredible
This is why bands like (current) Lorna shore exist, symphonic death metal is hauntingly beautiful, and symphonic death core is just the modern evolution of it. Love to see the OG's be appreciated, I know this performance was 12 years ago but the vid is only a year old so clearly they are still being celebrated
record exec: "Alright, what insturments do you want on the stage for this performance" DB Manager: "All of them" RE: "Excuse me? WHAT?!?" DBM: "you heard me"
Be the broken or the breaker Be the giver or the undertaker Unlock and open the door Be the healer or the faker The keys are in your hands Realize you are your own sole creator Of your own master plan
This is … just ffff-ing awesome. This band is diabolically good live. I love the powerful witch screaming out loud unholy metal incredible vocals… feel greatly thankful, such a great experience you just had.
You are completely out of your mind This isn't black metal. This is comedy and bombast. It's metal for children who play too many video games in their step dads basement.
Best live band ever! I saw them at the most pathetic venue ever, it was a pub with about 500 people in it but my god did they make that place rock. Most blessed experience of my life!
If there's one thing people always compliment Dimmu on whether they're fans or not is their live sound. It helps when you're a headline act of course but basically they are meticulous when it comes to planning shows and they work with really great collaborators. It's no accident that it sounds this good. Also some credit must go to the festival organisers themselves who allowed enough breathing room for setup etc to make something of this scale possible but then that's why Wacken in my opinion is THE single best metal festival anywhere in the world . They know that a little more time and effort as well as support to the artists is well worth it when you hear and see the final product.

@Horvek Andor yeah sure, after the festival they went to the studio to re record the sound, all of them including the orchestra lmao
Except for the vocals, they sound funny and weird...like if the vocalist had swallow a drunk cat or something.
@@1337Ox pretty sure either, check 2:55
@TriVos Ahren no
This!
Sound engineer deserves some kinda award for this shit man that was perfect
prolly 10 of em

Long live metal grandpa 🤘😤🤘
I just hope your are open to listen to the innovations that other music artists in differents styles can bring to Music.
@@vincentgervais9147 Yes always, I like also jazz, swing, ópera, etc
Great mate! Peace n Metal then.
Damn Agnete is a diamond, that last part always gives me goosebumps no matter how many times I listen to it.
Coffin gd it coffin if I was in my coffin no one would be yelling at me Macbeth not Shakespeare
Agnetes voice is perfect in this piece
Gives me goosebumps everytime!
What band is she from?
@@JaketheJedi23 Animal Alpha and Djerv

Makes me want to cry everytime I hear it for some reason. It's so perfect
This was so incredible… easily one of the best Wacken performances ever
It is yep
I’m not a big fan of these guys but god damn that was one hell of a performance
Looks fucking gay goth theatre
@@raakareiska9804 😂😂😂😂
think this too
Easily one of the best metal performansens ever. Her voice is so pure! The Orchestra is amazing! The song is fantastic. 10/10!
Ah man, that is still one of the best (and certainly most impressive) shows I've seen in my life.
The fact that they performed with choir and orchestra AT A FESTIVAL...
I'm getting goosebumps all over again.
Iíattis
Same from northern italy
Damn...Her Vocals are Killer.
last part is a fucking masterpiece...it is cathartic, deep, melodic and touches the deepest places of the soul
When the live performance sounds even better than the studio recording, someone has deserved a raise...
I don't think the audience has any idea what they are even witnessing. This is pure 🔥
Are the crowd alive.lol.
I'd be banging the shit out of my head.lol
German crowds are always dead.
It's Wacken. I'm sure they know.
@@Mrtheunnameable doesn't look like they know, hence the comment.
Yes, was pure fire if you are into Disney villains musicals
This song is so perfect, Dimmu Borgir is awesome. Also, great sound mixing, the orchestra sounds great with the band
The Oslo Performance was better in my opinion, mainly because the stage didn’t looked crowded like here.
Still a great performance overall though 🤘🖤🤘
I’ve still got to pick up Forces Of The Northern Lights 🤘

This concert were better in Norway at Spektrum.
Dimmu Borgir is the opera of black metal, truly a symphonic masterpiece and a work of art. A spectacular live performance on stage!
Amazing performance and one of the best Dimmu Borgir songs I've heard. The female vocals really do add an fantastic atmosphere to the sound.
If you imagine they got hate for that song when it was realized in 2012 ... so sad
I dig the two violinists with make up in their face. :D

How I envy the people who saw this performance live!
How the hell can this sound so amazing, easily even better than studio? O.o
Dude I had tears in my eyes and I only get that when the shit is too dope! And this performance was freaking epic.
Recorded from the board, produced in a studio setting at a later date. I can guarantee you this is not the same mix that the audience was hearing.

With alot of practice, general talent and just being Norwegian.

Post Production can work wonders
10/10 performance.. really the effort by the sound team, orchestra and band comes thru -- you can feel see and hear everyone's efforts
Dimmu Borgir was my favorite band when I was a teenager and I still listen to them today. I love Shagrath voice so much.
Thank you for sharing this wholesome christian song! God bless you!
😂😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😂😂😂😂😂
Not Christian song , this is Antichrist song 😂😂😂😂😂
Agnette just take to another level. She is perfect
Tears in my eyes 3:45 , fantastic

I’m the horn player in the back. This tour changed my life. I no longer play the horn.
But I have a Flying V and a smoking hot girl friend.
Agnete is so hauntingly gorgeous. She is the right fit for this song! Good stuff!
I still cant believe how this album got such a bad wrap when it dropped I loved it.
All hail Dimmu Borgir ❄️

She's the clean vocalist vocalist the band needs.
Huge respect to the sound engineer
This song ALWAYS gives me the chills
My god, this song always gives me goosebumps. It'even better that their last official live version. Agnete is on fire as always!!! Amazing job!

Do you have the lyrics of the choir? need to understand what they say. Thanks
Essa participação da Ana Maria Braga ficou foda demais 🤘🏼🔥
Parece mesmo com ela
Igualzinha kkkkkkkķkkk
kkkkkkkkkkkkk perdi foi tudo, toma no cu
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
This is Agnete Kjølsrud, bro.)
Agnete is a boss. Wish they’d use her again for another song. I remember how hard this album was critiqued when it was released, and now it’s regarded as a classic DB album
This. Always thought it was high quality, and Gateways is still one of my fav DB songs.
Probably because there were a lot of particularly melodic bits and female vocals, not to mention that their outfits for the album were white (which pretty much confirmed for me that the black metal community can be seriously petty and stupid sometimes)
@@femoman I agree, since those things made the song unique and great.
Older Dimmu fans needed time to come around to it, and newer Dimmu fans started appearing afterwards as well. Now a new kind of community has formed that appreciates the album for what it is, and it IS great.
A lot of it had to do with it being the first album without Vortex and Mustis.
The expectations were super high to say the least… 😅
Nunca esqueçamos dessa ilustre participação da Ana Maria Braga no show do Dimmu Borgir. Memorável!

WOW - SOOOOOO GOOD to see DIMMU bring the Symphony to a live outing!! It sounded great! One of my most FAV songs from their catalogue!
Fucking amazing. In terms of live shows, it really doesn't get much bigger and better than Dimmu.
As much as I love this song and these live performances, I am totally ready for something new from Dimmu Borgir. It's been too long since they have done something fresh.
THIS
Exactly, I got kind of excited thinking this was a brand new rendition 😢
a refresh of their oldest stuff perhaps?
@@felderup Stormblåst 2025 🙃
It's been over 20 years since they did anything fresh.
HAIL DIMMU BORGIR!!! 🤘🏻🖤 BEST LIVE 🔥
FANTASTIC...............................................................
The female vocal here, Agnete Kjolsberg from Djerv, Norway is the same who singed Get Jinxed, League of Legends.
I thought she sounded so familiar!
What?
Kjølsrud.
@@TheVermifuge Sorry. You are right. For international people "Kjolsrud". Google changes the o to ø automatically since she is a celebrity.

Schön, daran erinnert zu werden. War live einfach mega.
Watched the entire bluray last night, it’s absolutely incredible from start to finish.
Uma energia surreal o show deles!!! Pretendo um dia assistir Dimmu ao vivo🤘🏾🇧🇷

Best Dimmu Borgir Live Music Ever
I didn't realize I was listening That much to Dimmu Borgir until Spotify notified me I'm the top 0.05% listener..
the POWER of her voice at 2:01 - amazing
She is AMAZIIINNNNG!!!
Agnete is amazing. To be on the scene with such mighty musicians and to be equal - she is a treasure!
This might not be my favorite song by them but I love watching their live videos.
I don't get those who don't like this song, it's very good, one of the best DB songs I have heard.
Long Live Dimmu Borgir.
If this isn't one of the most epic apocalyptic displays of metal idk what is
Wow!!! Que perrisima canción!!! Lo que daría por estar allí 😫
Incredible song, for the lyrics, the role of the singers, the music. Goosebumps!
Incroyable chanson, pour les paroles, le rôle que jouent les deux chanteurs, la musique. Des frissons à chaque fois !!
Best album song 🤘🏾
I’ve watched this entire set over a 100 times. Feel like I’m chasing the high I got from their show at the Wiltern back in 2007.
You can't even notice is live 👌🏽🔥
Absolutely iconic. Legendary. Goosebumps.

Oh boy have I been missing out. They are phenomenal live
The Best! For Ever!
