Commemorate 30 years of symphonic black metal mastery with Dimmu Borgir’s Inspiratio Profanus. Released via Nuclear Blast Records, this curated compilation brings together eight "unholy hymns" from the band’s storied career, now featuring updated mastering and brand-new artwork.
Moving away from their more recent, theatrically overblown arrangements, Inspiratio Profanus offers a "lean and mean" look at the influences that shaped the Norwegian legends. This collection spans the spectrum of extreme music, from ravenous takes on genre pioneers to surprisingly melodic reimaginings of heavy metal classics.
Featured Highlights:
- Metal Anthems: A show-stealing rendition of Accept’s Metal Heart and a muscle-bound version of Venom’s Black Metal.
- Unexpected Classics: A synth-laden rework of G.G.F.H.’s Dead Men Don’t Rape and a staccato, operatic tribute to Deep Purple’s Perfect Strangers.
- Infernal Favourites: The fan-favourite cover of Twisted Sister’s Burn In Hell and savage deliveries of Celtic Frost’s Nocturnal Fear.
Whether you are a longtime follower of the Jessheim crew or a collector of high-fidelity metal, this remastered CD is a thrilling tribute to the heroes of the underground. Experience the dark inspiration behind one of the genre’s most influential acts.
