"Enthrone Darkness Triumphant" is yet another fantastic album from Symphonic Metal masters, Dimmu Borgir.
I found this album to be highly enjoyable and bursting with talent and originality. The band clearly demonstrate that they are masters of their craft, with the majority of the songs here being laced with catchy guitar hooks, beautiful keyboard passages and empowered blast beat drumming, all tightly and flawlessly executed. This album supplies some of the band's greatest and most memorable material in the form of the tracks 'Mourning Palace" "In Death's Embrace" and "Master Of Disharmony"
There are, of course, a few duds to be found here, in particular "Relinquishment of Spirit and Flesh"
The production on this album is excellent, providing some of the raw energy necessary for the execution of this style whilst maintaining clarity of sound. Each instrument is distinct and clearly audible yet the band fuse seamlessly together into a single musical entity.
Packaging of this album is simplistic but effective: The rear of the inlay booklet shows a montage of the band members and gives their names and respective positions in the band, whilst the rest of the booklet is printed with fairly subtle abstracted elements of the cover art and the album's lyrics.
Overall, this album is an excellent buy for those who like their Metal fun, yet challenging and competently played. Obviously not for those who are easily offended (lyrics mostly consist of the usual throwaway 'evil' and anti-christian fodder) or Black Metal elitists due to its highly accessible sound.
One of the best from Dimmu Borgir, highly recommended.
