Dimmu Borgir is one of those bands that I’d never heard before, until Soundwave. They ripped and put on a really good show. More than just music, they had massive stage presence. The guitarists got in on the act as well as you can see in the pictures below.
I only saw a few songs in Sydney, but stayed for most of the show in Melbourne.
Here’s their set list:
- Xibir
- Spellbound (By the Devil)
- The Chosen Legacy
- Dimmu Borgir
- Gateways
- The Serpentine Offering
- Puritania
- Progenies of the Great Apocalypse
- Mourning Palace

In the last picture there, you can see the guitarist getting into the stage act. It’s small things like that, that really help add to the show.
They’re certainly not for everyone, but definitely a good show for anyone that likes metal.
