Dimmu Borgir – In Sorte Diaboli – Vinyl LP

Coloured Vinyl, Limited Edition

In Sorte Diaboli (Latin for ‘In the Name of the Devil’) is the seventh album by Norwegian black metal band DIMMU BORGIR. The album was released in 2007 via Nuclear Blast. In Sorte Diaboli is the band’s first concept album. The story is set in medieval Europe. The protagonist of the story is a priest’s assistant who first doubts his faith and then turns to the dark side and becomes the Antichrist. The story is told in the form of a diary. This gave rise to the idea of starting each song title with the article ‘The’. Guitarist Silenoz gathered the first ideas for the concept album during the 2004 Ozzfest tour. The album was recorded between October and December 2006 at Studio Fredman. In Sorte Diaboli was produced by Frederik Nordström, Patrik J. Sten and the band itself.

In Sorte Diaboli entered the Norwegian album charts at number 1 and reached number 7 in Germany. In the USA, the album reached number 43. In its first week, the album sold around 14,000 copies.

Now available as a limited edition natural with black, white and gold splatter vinyl, including an 8-page booklet.
