"Be the broken, or the breaker. Be the giver, or the undertaker. The keys are in your hands. Realize you are your own sole creator of your own master plan." Powerful stuff. Intricate, complex, profound, Dimmu Borgir did well!
I wish they did an entire album with Agnete as a co-vocalist. Her voice suits the music of DB incredibly, and never fails to send shivers down my spine.
I think few people realize guitarist Silenoz actually writes all of Dimmu’s amazing lyrics. One naturally assumes it’s singer Shagrath singing his own words, but Silenoz is truly the mastermind.
Dimmu Borgir is my new music obsession. Their music speaks to my soul. Fantastic song. And it's nice to hear a woman in black metal who's not the typical operatic vocalist.

This is going to sound weird but as a christian I actually find this very spiritual! The visual ( and the message), the melodic voices, the lyrics are very spiritual too. I feel THIS is what worship music should be!
@@JamezP perhaps it's the quality of your audio equipment? I'm listening to this right now on a pair of Sennheiser OTE studio monitor headphones, and it sounds fucking superb. Yes the guitars are a bit backed off, but as someone else mentioned the idea is to supplement the symphonic aspect.
It's amazing how well Shagrath and Agnete's voices work together in this masterpiece. Perhaps it's too late to hope for it, but I hope they'll cooperate again in the future.
The message that "The keys are in your hands. Realize you are your own sole creator of your own masterplan." And I agree this version sucks compared to the live Forces of the Northern Light video.
i don't know what became to be the "ancient future" i see this song like a human message but corrosed and blind, the creator can see the real thing and spread the words of the puppet master that manipulate the writher this is only my personal think
@Sidith hey man your stuff sounds kickass ! Definitely do more of it, you have great potential! I believe in you brother, worthy of starting the 3rd wave.
Rage huh? Interesting reflection there. I feel so empowered but also terribly sad. It's telling me to remember what and who I am. It's brought tears to my eyes a few times. What about it makes you feel rage do you think
@@gabrielmonteza6583 I just don't like the attitude and ideologies of hers. she may be a pretty decent kombatant, but you know, people hate her for the same reason they hate D'vhora (still on my mother's account)
I've gotta admit: the message that this song has at the end- "be the broken or the breaker; be the giver or the undertaker;~ the keys are within your hands; realize you are your own creator of your own master plan" - this is just so empowering to me. Almost makes me wish I was Norwegian so I could join a true black metal band (although Behemoth is also that way, even if they're Polish). Hell, as an ex Mormon, I'd love to… well, maybe I shouldn't get too into detail about that.
+William Munson A good band is a good band, no matter where they are from! I just think Europe is more open to the metal scene than any other part of the world, ergo the music reflects it. I heard Dimmu live in 2005? And I thought they were hideous *lol* I still find their records fine.
Yeah. In fact, I actually think if anything, Scandinavia's the real part of the world that's more open to metal (except Denmark), but there fairly decent American metal bands for sure, like Tool or the Black Dahlia Murder, but in the way of black metal, I just feel like American black metal bands are more like a bunch of wannabe's. You know what I mean? I mean, there are good American black metal bands (Skeletonwitch (or at least their later stuff), Goatwhore (sorta)), but still, I feel like they're just trying to fit into the mold of black metal in a way. But I do like other bands from outside of both Scandinavia and the US. Those bands are totally BRUTAL (Behemoth, Anaal Nathrakh (totally freaky, but I LOVE them).
@@BlueArpeggio.PoDoDan those shouty vocals she does can sound good if done right, unfortunately she did not do it right and just has this shrilly, irritating voice. I also can't take her seriously if she enters the music video flailing her arms like that. It is a great song non the less.
Honestly one of the most powerful, profound, deep, and somehow sad (the ending brings tears) thing I have ever seen. It's not so much sad in itself that it's just reminding me of something within me that I've forgot
Idk, our societies are basically satanic now. It just feels like they're juwt cheering for the status quo. Which is a bit... Boring. :/ At this stage if they'de cheering for family values or something, they'd be more subversive to the hegemonic value system.
man this singer has a point such a deep song about how religion blinds you and you have to break the ties and you can see things clearly for what they are.
I don't normally enjoy metal at all, but HOLY SHIT. I am so happy this was in my recommended and I gave it a try. The strings and choral music really complement the heavy metal sound and elevates it. I really love it. Sounds like some Shadow of Colossus, Final Fantasy epic mega boss battle music. Gets me pumped!
Not really "heavy metal" it's metal but this is symphonic black metal. Symphonic for the orchestral elements and black for the type of vocals, aesthetic, and overall song composition but this is very very light black metal. I do recomendo cradle of filth if you like these guys though I dont like them.
To be fair, this song/album is nowhere near their prime. If you want a real taste of them in their element, check out the albums enthrone darkness triumphant, and spiritual black dimensions. Enthrone is older and more basic, a more mystical feeling. spiritual black dimensions is more technical, darker, and heavier.
The greatest most brilliant metal band of our lifetimes. They top Metallica and Megadeth in my humble opinion. Their mixture of clean vocals with Shagraths voice and the riffs/songwriting....just the best.
I just came here for the Guitar solo...but to the matter at hand. I personally think comparing these guys with Metallica and Megadeth is like comparing Burger King with Dominos. Yes they are both fast food but they are vastly different and as such, belong in a different category.
+jordan smith im not comparing/rating their music styles, yes they are very different from each other. In overall songwriting and creativity as a whole I rate Dimmu highest.
Reminds me a lot of "Invictus" Poem. "Realize you are your own sole creator-of your own master plan" "I am the master of my fate, I am the Captain of my soul" Very powerful stuff from Dimmu
Song is extremely empowering to me. Especially the final stint from 3:00 to the end. The song helps me realize that I am the creator of my destiny. Through hardship i have learned that a higher diety, nor the universe, nor anyone, is going to help me create the life and existence that I want. I am the only one that can create the life that I want to live. Dimmu Borgir relays that message to us in this video
When I was in high school my friend introduced me to this band, I can’t thank him enough. This song has a great message, and it kicks you in the teeth with it.

Wait, hold on a sec..."The core principle of freedom Is the only notion to obey" doesn't make ANY sense at all, let alone being a "badass" lyric. That's literally a self-contradiction, and not in some clever, deep way. That's like saying, "The basic tenet of individuality is to only confirm."
@@akicitaa.8233 Perhaps it is the self contradiction they are aiming at. That we are free, but we still have to obey laws of society. i dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

all bands one days always end up returning their large formations. One day will hit and Nick Barker, Vortex and Mustis will return to the delight of fans.
Omar Nope, Cradle lost it. Just listen to their first albums. (The Principle of Evil Made Flesh (1994) Dusk... and Her Embrace (1996) Cruelty and the Beast (1998) after that the lost it (TO ME) this is a personal opinion. you're allowed to disagree but not to insult me, insult is a proof of lacking intelligence.
I had a friend that learned about them through metalocalypse. dimmu burger, he looked it up to see if it was a real burger chain (we were kids/preteens) and he found the video to sacrilegious scorn and got nightmares but found himself coming back for more and more and more. Long story short he’s a death metal drummer now lolol
This aligns well with modern satanism. The individual is it's own god, you are the only one responsible for your own future. Live for yourself, do whatever you want as long as it's doesn't affect others negatively. Don't let any God dictate your life, live life as you see fit.
I was here because I watched their live performance on wacken for the first time, and I liked it. I am a Catholic and there is nothing wrong with enjoying their music 🤘
I never really appreciated this song or the album Abrahadabra until a couple of years ago I believe. Coming from Albums like In Sorte Diaboli or Death Cult Armageddon, I found it to be a little too soft. But then I stumbled upon that live video of this song in Norway with the orchestra and everything and I realized how amazing it is. Then I went back through Abrahadabra and realized I actually love it. It's not even remotely as bad as I thought it was. It's actually a masterpiece.
Damn, this whole song and the music video is just on another level. Those vocal deliveries, they are top notch stuff. Anette touches operatic levels in the outro. The blast beats from the drummer, those nice catchy riffs with the tremolo picks and the many changes in the song. This really is high level art.
if you're not a metalhead, we don't really wanna see your oppinion, and we really dont give a fuck :) thanks for understanding, DM are one of the greatest black metal bands, and for those whos saying metallica and so doesnt need the masks and the makeup to get fame, i just wanna tell you that TRUE metal is not about fame, its about real emotions and deep music\lyrics, and if you read or understood the lyrics youll get the point, if you didnt then dont judge.
Who said metal was about fame? 1: Metallica is awesome and that's pretty much undeniable, but there is room for denial if need be. Sure their fame is one thing, but wasn't it their songs that made them famous? Sorry, I'm just trying to rush this particular point, so it's not completely finished yet and will have some editing done to it. 2: Sure, most people who don't enjoy metal see it only as a bunch of screaming guys and gals, but that's all they'll ever see so there's not much point trying to teach them that. If they want to know the lyrics, they'll find it out themselves. Or stay away from metal all together. 3: I just found this band today thanks to Dethklok and wow! Just wow!
Putting a lot of emotion into your singing doesn't automatically make it screaming. Most all their lyrics are actually pretty easy to understand imo. All one needs to do is try and pay half ass attention. Plus DB's songs have a lot of meaning to them. But if people wanna be stubborn and not even try to look past the monsters that most people portray these guys to be and only see and hear what they want then thats their loss.
Why should we have to read the lyrics, music supposedly audible and can be easily understand just by listening. Music over gimmicks, these guys were just a bunch of scary clowns not musicians.
this is not black metal, nowhere near of it. Search for darkthrone or Burzum for example, then you will understand what "black" is. You illiterate douche.
vavra222 Correction it's Symphonic Black meta. Though it is incorrect to call it traditional black metal. Though they somewhat began with similar style to the Second Wave Black metal. This is still metal and cannot hardly be considered fake. Though garrett34dylan is still incorrect with his views on Black Metal.

Every time I listen to this song, when it ends, I feel abandoned and neglected and miserable. It's just way too short. I need more of that goodness!
Me encanta Dimmu Borgir 💗
Desde la primera ves que escuche está canción me dio tanta curiosidad escuchar las demás canciones 😊😊😊 super increíble..
Yo amo Dimmu Borgir
Una de las bandas más importantes de mi vida
Su música está a otro nivel
well did he?
Hola igual a mi,de donde eres?
Absolute Masterpiece 🏆

This song deserves way more likes than it has atm. Such a work of art!
After 11 years, I play this song again
The core principle of freedom
Is the only notion to obey
The formula of evolution and sin
Leading the way
The rebirth is near completion
As we slowly awaken from slumber
As we slowly awaken from slumber
The malpractice of the spirit ends
Gateways!
When the gift is once again attained
Gateways!
No rules or restraints are longer valid
Gateways!
When the ancient future is reclaimed
Gateways!
No rules or restraints are longer valid
Gateways!
When the ancient future is reclaimed
Gateways!
It's all there for the eye that can see
The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy
For it is the omen
Of what lies submerged
Untouched within us
The core principle of freedom
Is the only notion to obey
The formulae of evolution and sin
Leading the way
The rebirth is near completion
As we slowly awaken from slumber
To receive the light that shines in darkness
The light that shines forevermore
Forevermore!
Be the broken or the breaker
Be the giver or the undertaker
Unlatch and open the doors
Be the healer or the faker
The keys are in your hands
Realize you are your own sole creator
Of your own masterplan
Be the broken or the breaker
Be the giver or the undertaker
Unlatch and open the doors
Be the healer or the faker
The keys are in your hands
Realize you are your own sole creator
Of your own masterplan!
MMA king these lyrics are fucking badass so much power to them
Wait, hold on a sec..."The core principle of freedom Is the only notion to obey" doesn't make ANY sense at all, let alone being a "badass" lyric. That's literally a self-contradiction, and not in some clever, deep way. That's like saying, "The basic tenet of individuality is to only confirm."
@@akicitaa.8233 Perhaps it is the self contradiction they are aiming at. That we are free, but we still have to obey laws of society. i dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Read it like ..."the only notion (is) to obey the formulae of evolution ... and ... sin (is) leading the way"
Tip #1: Use the Closed Captions
When you have to wake up at 5AM for work...
Gateways!
Be the broken or the breaker
Be the giver or the undertaker
Unlock and open the doors
Be the healer or the faker
The keys are in your hands
Realize you are your own sole creator
Of your own master plan
Nothing more energizing than driving through a dark wooded road, on a full moon chilly night blasting this all the way
"Realize you are your own sole creator-of your own master plan"
All Silenoz's lyrics lead you to this one...
I am guilty and I' am god
Brazil 🇧🇷 I love black metal, I love Dimmu 🖤
Enfim achei um brasileiro de bom gosto viva Black metal
Opa
Borgir
this is my favorite of Dimmu' songs ;)
I have watched this music vid exactly 10 times today
You mad bro
Check out the live version
those are rookie numbers
this is officially one of my favourite bands of all time.
Seriously though... what that flying witch lady said is going to happen 😈🤘
So obsessed with this video
WACKEN 2014 bitces and bros!:D
***** Isn't the ginger gangster so cool with his couch and middle finger :D awwww
all bands one days always end up returning their large formations. One day will hit and Nick Barker, Vortex and Mustis will return to the delight of fans.
Never. Theres bad blood there.
for fucks sake I hope so, while I like this song, I'm no longer finding metal all that great anymore.
They got right what Cradle tried to do. But they actually got a female singer who could sing.
What are you talking about? Cradle got it right. Don't be a fuckin idiot.
I LIKE SEXY TITS
Omar Nope, Cradle lost it. Just listen to their first albums. (The Principle of Evil Made Flesh (1994)
Dusk... and Her Embrace (1996)
Cruelty and the Beast (1998) after that the lost it (TO ME) this is a personal opinion. you're allowed to disagree but not to insult me, insult is a proof of lacking intelligence.
+L Desiron I prefer Cradle's newer stuff.
Idc. I still like Tits
Still here guys. Fed up with modern pop. This one just hits all the right spots.
It takes me literally years to learn to listen to this song - i love it so much now!
I'm not too much into Black Metal, but this one is awesome!
I found these guys because I had a dream about listening to their music. I googled the name as soon as I woke up and THEY'RE A REAL BAND WTF BRAIN
welcome to enlightement
You'd probably already heard the name, and it was in your subconscious.
I had a friend that learned about them through metalocalypse. dimmu burger, he looked it up to see if it was a real burger chain (we were kids/preteens) and he found the video to sacrilegious scorn and got nightmares but found himself coming back for more and more and more. Long story short he’s a death metal drummer now lolol
This aligns well with modern satanism. The individual is it's own god, you are the only one responsible for your own future. Live for yourself, do whatever you want as long as it's doesn't affect others negatively.
Don't let any God dictate your life, live life as you see fit.
OH CRAP THOSE GUYS WERE THE VILLIANS IN POWER RANGERS SERIES!
laas29 underrated comment
XD
No, they are corporate slaves doing a poorly acted theatrical performance
@@hakon312 proof?
Yeeeeep
I really like Agnete Kjølsrud's look. She's very beautiful.
One of the best songs in the history of Metal Music. ❤
Not even close. Just this band alone has entire albums that top this, easily.
Masterpiece🖤
That lead guitarist is the happiest mother fuckin lead in the world.... If you have any doubts check out his face when he does this rift! 1:50
Nick Hannah Oh I love this Magic card :D
bravojr hehehe best comment ever dude ! he is the best
bravojr Pause at 1:54 for full effect. *ROFL*
bravojr also 0:12
H. H. Good eye
shagrath is a fucking genius
And hot, well to me he is
Ángel Vázquez poser band... old Dimmu Borgir is better... now is a comercial shit
I still prefer the under black metal... is more pure.
Castillos Negros Go listen to your "HAIL SATAN!!!!!!!" music then.
- I'd always prefer music with better poetry and composing over gorgoroth.
what
Imagine grocery shopping in this attire
😂
Skrämmande,... mitt brödrargrannland !!! Jättebra! Ni är bra på riktigt! Greate!
I was here because I watched their live performance on wacken for the first time, and I liked it. I am a Catholic and there is nothing wrong with enjoying their music 🤘
She did amazing back up vocals. If they always made songs with her that would be sic.
what's up with the dislikes? I think this song is great and majestic
every video is gona have dislikes dude
Dan Hale I know haha but this video has far too much I think
Marcell Roncsák There are a ton of Dimmu haters man. Just think like me...Fuck em
TheHeavy666Metal Good thing you were here then! Iq much?
Extreme metal genres aren't the most liked y'know :P Death Metal, Black Metal and Deathcore especially are subject to alot of hate
"The blind ones will always suffer in secrecy" I could imagine this part and I felt a very strong emotion of pain and forgetfulness
this seems to be a self image promotional technique to get you away from whatever crap everyone else expects from you. fabulous lyrics.
For the zillionth time I appear before dimmu borgir... "Dimmu borgir I've come to bargain..."
Am I the only person who loves this song AND their look?
Nope
Elijah Sells no me to
They look stupid like fuck, but sounds okay.
Stefano Fava noob
Elijah Sells I agree with you - I LOVE this band! This shows why the best hard rock bands are made up of Art students! RAWK!
This song is absolutely amazing the formula of evolution and sin love it
The vocalist does like 80% of the instruments on the albums.
@Sidith yo shut the hell up with ur self promoting bs
Galder really has to put in work to be the most over the top member of this band
I never really appreciated this song or the album Abrahadabra until a couple of years ago I believe. Coming from Albums like In Sorte Diaboli or Death Cult Armageddon, I found it to be a little too soft. But then I stumbled upon that live video of this song in Norway with the orchestra and everything and I realized how amazing it is. Then I went back through Abrahadabra and realized I actually love it. It's not even remotely as bad as I thought it was. It's actually a masterpiece.
Damn, this whole song and the music video is just on another level.
Those vocal deliveries, they are top notch stuff. Anette touches operatic levels in the outro.
The blast beats from the drummer, those nice catchy riffs with the tremolo picks and the many changes in the song.
This really is high level art.
Sagrath, what a charismatic theatrical man
This song is what every human that believes in some sort of god needs to hear and understand
2023 and still loving it
2023?
@@legaiasfan134 it is now.
I guess I figured they thought its be 2023 by the time someone responds.
if you're not a metalhead, we don't really wanna see your oppinion, and we really dont give a fuck :) thanks for understanding, DM are one of the greatest black metal bands, and for those whos saying metallica and so doesnt need the masks and the makeup to get fame, i just wanna tell you that TRUE metal is not about fame, its about real emotions and deep music\lyrics, and if you read or understood the lyrics youll get the point, if you didnt then dont judge.
Who said metal was about fame?
1: Metallica is awesome and that's pretty much undeniable, but there is room for denial if need be. Sure their fame is one thing, but wasn't it their songs that made them famous? Sorry, I'm just trying to rush this particular point, so it's not completely finished yet and will have some editing done to it.
2: Sure, most people who don't enjoy metal see it only as a bunch of screaming guys and gals, but that's all they'll ever see so there's not much point trying to teach them that. If they want to know the lyrics, they'll find it out themselves. Or stay away from metal all together.
3: I just found this band today thanks to Dethklok and wow! Just wow!
Putting a lot of emotion into your singing doesn't automatically make it screaming. Most all their lyrics are actually pretty easy to understand imo. All one needs to do is try and pay half ass attention. Plus DB's songs have a lot of meaning to them. But if people wanna be stubborn and not even try to look past the monsters that most people portray these guys to be and only see and hear what they want then thats their loss.
shadikal12345 check out Opeth- "The Drapery falls" and the whole "Blackwater Park" Album! i think you'll like it (:
Why should we have to read the lyrics, music supposedly audible and can be easily understand just by listening. Music over gimmicks, these guys were just a bunch of scary clowns not musicians.
dimmus not black metal
I must listen to this song at least 3 times a day 🤘🇳🇴🤘
there is no devil, and a lie from the church and rock band !!!
one of the only good black metal bands out there
this is not black metal, nowhere near of it. Search for darkthrone or Burzum for example, then you will understand what "black" is. You illiterate douche.
garrett34dylan why so upset? is it because i am right and you are just pathetic pretentious wannabe metalhead?
vavra222
Correction it's Symphonic Black meta. Though it is incorrect to call it traditional black metal. Though they somewhat began with similar style to the Second Wave Black metal. This is still metal and cannot hardly be considered fake. Though garrett34dylan is still incorrect with his views on Black Metal.
this is not black metal. this isnt even good. New dimmu borgir sucks. go listen to their older stuff if you want good music
I do listen to their older stuff, and technically it is categorized as Symphonic Black Metal. Gets your facts straight before trying to correct me.
That ending is just epic
This is why I can’t explain what I listen too when someone ask me!😂
