Press praise for the new album:
"A challenging and deeply affecting listening experience, In Sorte Diaboli is positively cinematic in its power and scope. Part Norwegian black metal, part melodic thrash, and part operatic horror-movie score, Hell itself knows that DIMMU BORGIR are the giants of their once-marginal genre." - REVOLVER, June 2007 Issue
"Norway is surely many things to many people, but to black metal enthusiasts, it is nothing less than the one true Unholy Land... the anti-Bethlehem, if you will. Thanks to bands like DIMMU BORGIR, black metal has bridged the once frozen divide between underground obscurity and mainstream acceptance." - DECIBEL Magazine, June 2007 Issue
"In Sorte Diaboli is all-consuming. DIMMU BORGIR have left no stone unturned in providing fans with the most complete symphonic black metal record possible." - METAL MANIACS, July 2007 Issue
"Bombastic, blasphemic, and barbarous. Like a demon's offspring, In Sorte Diaboli could very well be DIMMU BORGIR's key of entry through another gate of hell." - BRAVE WORDS & BLOODY KNUCKLES, May 2007 Issue
