OMG...the chorus...goosebumps. This song was why I started listening to Dimmu...in 1999...had the satellite tv on the metal channel and was in my room cleaning. When I heard this chorus coming from the living room...I slowly walked in there..not believing my ears...thank you ICS Vortex.
Those few months in mid 1999 had the best Dimmu line-up ever: Shagrath, Silenoz, Astennu, Vortex, Barker and Mustis. The time before Galder join it and after Tjodalv left.
Absolutely. All the best pieces are there. Barker is unbelievably good, but I cannot dismiss Tjodalv. I got to see them with Tioldav and Dark Funeral in Dodheimsgard, and that show was on par if not BETTER than the one in this vid.
I had the pleasure to see Dimmu Borgir when Tjodalv was still in the band, AND when Nick was still in Cradle of Filth. saw both bands in 1999 just months apart that year. seeing how much both these bands have changed since then, and they being my 2 favorite black metal bands ever, i feel immensely blessed. everyone here is right though. Tjodalv is a great drummer, but Nick is a great replacement for him. And Adrian being a great replacement for Nick on Cradle's side of things. for me, both bands hit their peak between 1999 - 2002 with those changes in drummers and what those lineups produced, but unfortunately things went down hill in the years that followed (just my opinion). I slowly lost interest when after Death Cult Armegeddon came out, and when Cradle released Damnation And A Day. for me those were their last great albums.

I saw Vortex playing with Borknagar recently in 2022 and the amount of talent that guy has is just insane.Dimmu borgir is dead for me.
Same. Vortex and Mustis were he heart of the band.
@@serpent_lord4 Mustis's piano/Keyboard skills contained the whole magick for me, dimmu is just pathetic now
Dimmu sound like a techno band now.
@@felipelovecraft1767 exactly, even their latest album was just a techno ASMR mix

Holy Shit. Barker fn ruling it.
Cradle and Borgir will never get over the Barker era.
Best version I've heard of this song ever. Having Barker on the drums makes the big difference
Hellhammer wasnt bad also ;-)
i miss these days.
Amazing voice Vortex and Shagrath . Fucking awesome
WOW!!!!! Keyboards are so atmospheric and wonderful!
Oh my.
Mr. Vortex.
I’m, beside myself . . .
(Fans face)
Blushes.
BEST DIMMU BORGIR ERA!!! I SAW THEM IN THE SAME TOUR HERE IN CHICAGO. IT WAS FUCKING GREAT!!!!
This is too awesome... great atmosphere \m/
Easily the best Dimmu lineup. Still had Astennu, that is the key. and just got Barker...
Id kill to hire Astennu to do a guest lead on one of my songs haha
But yeah honestly I have to 100% agree this is the best Dimmu lineup
Yup. Astennu, Vortex, Mustis, Barker. Check, check, check.
Absolutely. All the best pieces are there. Barker is unbelievably good, but I cannot dismiss Tjodalv. I got to see them with Tioldav and Dark Funeral in Dodheimsgard, and that show was on par if not BETTER than the one in this vid.

Vortex Amazing,,,,,, we miss you 😢!!!!!
Ami país argentina vinieron año 2012 y 2018. Pero esa época de año 90 fue la mejor para todos
one of most great lineup
I was there!! Thank you for the upload!!!
Dude I fuckin swear Dimmu Borgir and Obsidian Gate were such game changer bands right before the turn of the millennium
Não consigo para de ver esse video. VEjo todos os dias. A performace de Vortex é sureal.
Saw this tour the day before in Cleveland.
Vortex growl is even better then his cleans just everything about that person is perfect
Voice vortex crazy
Wow. Great recording
Best DM era and lineup
I saw them for the first time same tour in 99 at the Alrosa as soon they preformed Reptile became a instant fan Samuel was on the same bill
One of their best album,still dont know why they don't play many songs from it on the gigs,anyways they rule!!
There is no way without Vortex
and you wouldn't want to hear shaggy attempt to sing them either nowadays, holy crap he's even worse then before
Without Mustis on keyboard and vortex with his clean vocals and the new weak shagrath voice ?
Too heavy for the actual Dimmu
Yeah! 1999 was a great year! ImI 666 ImI
Loving those hair flips and accidentally coordinated headbangs at 3:50 and 4:17
tanks

check out my guitar cover for this song. made all parts as it was played on album
Обожаю боргеров!))
Their last pure black metal album. The production even sounds shit live. Great song though.
