Dimmu Borgir Album: “Sons of Satan Gather for Attack”

This is one of the few occasions Old Man's Child is better then Dimmu. I love both bands and own just about every album both have produced. This album is great if you have never heard old Man's Child before, it gives you a real idea of what OMC is all about. Dimmu on the other hand gets a poor representation at best. Their tracks are just lacking, pure and simple.

Buy this if you're collecting Dimmu Borgir and/or Old Man's Child albums, but other then that you're better off buying a full album from either(or both) of these great Black-Metal bands.

Why exactly did Dimmu Borgir need to produce this album? I suppose it was to give Old Man's Child the opportunity to release some material. The Dimmu side consists of four tracks: "Master of Disharmony", "Devil's Path" and two, count them two versions of a Celtic Frost tune "Nocturnal Fear". The superior and "canonical" if you will version of "Master of Disharmony" is found on "Enthrone Darkness Triumphant" rendering this one almost entirely irrelevant. The title track is decent but nothing great. But why on earth do we need two nearly identical versions of a Celtic Frost? To take up space on the album no doubt. Old Man's Child gets the better half of the disc but even here the music is quite mediocre. All in all a pointless and disappointing release.

This cd is the best ever. It has 2 of the greatest bands ever play together. This cd is amazing. When Dimmu Borgir plays The Old Mans Child you will get into there music. That is the song that got me and my friends into Dimmu Borgir and Old Mans Child. I would suggest that if you like them you might want to check out Cradle of Filth another amazing band.
