Dimmu Borgiris a Symphonic/Melodic Black Metal band from Norway. "Dimmu Borgir" means "Misty Castle/Citadel" or "Dark Fortress" in Icelandic, and it comes from some volcanic formations on Iceland: "The Dimmuborgir". Legend holds that this type of lava is a gateway straight to hell. Shagrath has said in an interview that The Dimmuborgir actually comes from the citadels of Scotland. Dimmu Borgir was formed in 1993 by the trio of Shagrath, Silenoz, and Tjodalv (the first two have remained the leaders of the band, while Tjodalv recently left to form Susperia).

Dimmu Borgir
Langt...der borte i morket
Gjennom tretopper der manelys driver
Langt...der borte i all take
Inn gjennom min sjel den sorte angst river
Pa de mosegrodde steiner de seg viser
Nar nattemorket har senket seg over
Ekkoene...fra deres grufulle jamring
Endelost...du kan hore
I horisonten langt vekk
Skimtes den sigende skodde
Horder av ild rider manelyset i flokk
Ved daggry de samles ved en bortgjemt odde
Den iskalde snoen
Har kommet
Denne gang
I evig fokk
