Pronounced "dim-moo bore-gear", the Dimmuborgir is a large area of unusually shaped lava fields east of Lake Mývatn, on Iceland. The Dimmuborgir area is composed of various caves and rock formations. It would seem that this has been formed from a lava-lake, out of which molten lava flowed and left behind strange formations. The most famous cave being Kirkjan - the Church - high with a large gothic style vault. Dimmu=foggy/dark, Borgir=castle/fortress.

Get the dimmu borgir mug.
An excellent Black Metal band from Norway that puts on amazing concerts. According to some people, they are no longer a "true" black metal band in the sense of Emperor, Burzum, or Immortal (see earlier post.) Symphonic Black Metal is actually a better description. Their drummer (Nick Barker) recenlty left for unknown reasons.
Dimmu Borgir is named after a volcanic formation in Iceland.

Norwegian Black Metal band.

The name is of Icelandic origin and in English it means something like "The black castle" or "The dark fortress¨.
¨Brynjard Tristan is half Icelandic and he had been telling us about the legends and myths and facts as well about the name of the place. He thought it would suit our music pretty well.¨

dark fortress. Also a great black metal band. Most people think Cradle of Filth is great black metal. While good, COF is nowhere near as good as Dimmu Borgir. or any other excessively "neato" bands, such as Morbid Angel, Opeth, Children of Bodom, Dying Fetus, etc.
FINALLY! Dimmu Borgir is at ozzfest. and on MAIN STAGE too! w00t
