If you’ve never heard Norwegian symphonic black metal masters Dimmu Borgir, then you need to take a few minutes out of your day to watch this absolute peak moment.

Now once you’ve done that (or if you’re already a fan), you’ll understand why I HAD to make this:

After being a massive fan of the band for many years and wanting to make this video for a while, I decided that now was a good time for the next entry in my “How ____ Writes A Song” series, partially because their guitarist Silenoz released a plugin version of his signature amp (10% off with code TREYXAVIER at checkout) through Bogren Digital, and it’s outrageously sick.

If you liked the song in this video, you can add “Inferno Born” to your playlists here.

I studied music on both coasts (Berklee and SSU) and now I'm just trying to put my degree to some use. That's a music degree, not an English one. I'm sure you noticed.
