Author Benedetta Baldin - 22.5.2026
Today, May 22, Norwegian symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir released their first new album in eight years, “Grand Serpent Rising”, as per theprp. The music video for the album’s most recent focus track, “As Seen In The Unseen,” was directed by Dariusz Szermanowicz (Behemoth, Kreator).
‘Grand Serpent Rising‘ captures everything Dimmu Borgir has been and become – it’s darker, more brutal, yet melodic and diverse. It sums up all our phases; some songs are heavily inspired by our early years, while others push forward. We’ve made the album more dynamic, with orchestration used more deliberately. The result is a more intense and hard hitting record. – Shagrat
With ‘Grand Serpent Rising‘, we deliberately revisited the spirit and atmosphere that shaped our identity in the early years. We wanted this album to feel like a journey through ruin, rebirth and transcendence. After all these years, the fire still burns stronger than ever – This album is both a reflection and a new awakening for Dimmu Borgir. – Silenoz
