Norwegian extreme metal titans Dimmu Borgir have officially announced their long-awaited new studio album, “Grand Serpent Rising”, set for release on the 22nd May via Nuclear Blast Records.
Returning to the studio in Gothenburg, the band once again joined forces with acclaimed producer Fredrik Nordström, the mastermind behind some of Dimmu Borgir’s most revered works, including Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia and Death Cult Armageddon. The result is a record that captures the band’s signature blend of symphonic grandeur and unrelenting aggression, while pushing their sound into darker, more commanding territory.
Today, Dimmu Borgir unveil the second single from the album: ‘Ascent’. Striking like lightning across a frozen northern sky, the song is a ferocious statement of intent – aggressive, vicious, and twistedly beautiful. Ascent delivers a chilling reminder that Dimmu Borgir remain at the height of their powers, embodying the intensity, menace, and authenticity that have defined their legacy.
The track arrives alongside a visually arresting, “in your face” music video that amplifies the song’s raw energy and atmospheric darkness. You can stream Ascent now on your preferred platform HERE, and watch the official video on YouTube below:
