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).

The Insight And The Cathasis Lyrics
Dimmu Borgir
Passenger on confessional course.
Unlock with the key you behold within.
Repair the shadow of your mind, And come awake.
Oh, dreadful angel of mine
Enrich me with the vastness of being
Rigid father, teach me to comprehend
I'll commit myself to understand
To be faithful and the instrument.
So that the ones with blindfold can see what i have seen.
"That there is nothing in between
For i am the accomplice.
Aghast and tender, indulged in sin.
Embreaced by loneliness, legions who grin.
I blunder into the realms of slumber
I collide with the obscure
And see the last fraction of light go by."
Plundering the sanity from the insane
Providing appearances in black
Carefully swept in decadent spheres.
But faces in this world always remain darkened.
In circles of dominance, emotional deeps unite.
Fiction and transcendence is woven together
In the essence of purity lies wisdom
Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions.
What more do you need of proof
Human hands comforming clooven hoofs
For i know the secrets and lies behind all truths
Knowledge is power, and the power is mine
It's all mine.
So let the children come to me
And share the militless ways to infinity
Escape death and disease.
And behold youth and vitality.
"Oh dreadful angel of mine
enrich me with the vastness of your being.
Rigid father, teach me how to comprehend.
I'll commit myself to understand.
The accomplice."
