Take three impressive-sounding words that have nothing to do with each other and put them together. Then you have the title of the next Dimmu Borgir album!

Norwegian symphonic black metal band. While middle-aged people generalize their lyrics as dark and angsty, unlike The Beatles, they have the ability to cover more than one topic in a single album, including poetically challenging extremist conservative religious fanatics, the definition of morality, telling a narrative of Satan's assistant, and several more if you understand Norwegian.
Occasionally their music videos or lyrics contain unjustifiably objectionable material, but I interpret that this is their message to their fans not to become mindless followers of their band.

If you had to mass-generalize Dimmu Borgir, you'd have to call them a cross between heavy metal and classical.

A metal band from Norway, started in 1993 by singer Shagrath, and bassist ICS Vortex. This band follows in the footsteps of Norwegian Black Metal band, Immortal, in the fact they paint their faces in corpse paint (KISS makeup) and Growl (singing buy using low, unharmonic vocals) They are well known through out the metal scene. They combine they growling from their vocals with symphony orchestras in their music, and from time to time, the bassist will sing with clean vocals, to create a unique sound, no other band can come close to. They have several albums spanning from "For All Tid" in 1993 to "In Sorte Diaboli" in 2007. The name of the band is Norwegian for Black Church, named after a lava flow in norway, that oddly created caverns, the biggest of these caverns, is named Kirkjan, the word for Cathedral.
