Dimmu Borgir announce "Blackest Of Black" tour, new DVD!

Roaring back after a two-year absence from the heavy metal battlefield, popular Norwegian face-bashers Dimmu Borgir will be hitting the highways and byways of the United States and Canada this fall, headlining the "Blackest of the Black Tour" with the legendary Danzig, Moonspell, Winds Of Plague and Skeletonwitch. At the same time, in October 2008, the band will also be releasing their new concert DVD, The Invaluable Darkness, on Nuclear Blast Records.

The Invaluable Darkness set will include two DVDs and a bonus audio CD. The first DVD disc features performances from the band's 2007 European tour, including stops in Oslo, Norway; Berlin, Germany; and London, England, along with behind-the-scenes footage from the tour. The second DVD disc features the band's 13-song performance from the "Black Metal Stage" at the Wacken Open Air festival in Germany from August 2007. Also included on disc 2 are Dimmu Borgir music videos, and studio footage from the P3 sessions held in September 2007 at the NRK Studio 19 in Oslo. The audio CD features a dozen performances from these P3 sessions.

"Let there be no secrecy around the fact that we're really looking forward to the Blackest of The Black tour, finally joining forces with Danzig!" says Dimmu Borgir guitarist and founding member Silenoz. "To get the chance to share the stage with one of the most influential icons in metal and rock history, Glenn Danzig, is of course something we're very proud of! Combined with the other bands, this will be a night to remember – if you're into dark and heavy music, that is. We actually take it for granted that you will be there! This will also be a great opportunity for us to promote our new DVD coming out in October, appropriately entitled The Invaluable Darkness!"
